i believe some replies have gone out of proportion. if you would read carefully what dexplorer wrote on her post, she has full respect with Qatar culture and it's people. and whoever said about tonsil-hockey?? it's a brief kiss for goodness sake and not a make-out session. i am not justifying her action nor condoning it. but the reason that she wrote her post is to ask everyone whether it is culturally wrong to do that as they are new in the country. i believe they both mean no harm to all the people around them. and come on...try to go out on all bars and see for yourself how other people are openly flirting with each other with the girls in their almost nude outfits.
