I didnt say the following and rude comments are OK XX, just the opposite. The staring is uncomfy but as I said, most of them dont even know they are doing anything wrong. The whole thread started over some guys working in the souq.

The arab wife comment is that back home it is quite normal for someone to comment on anothers wife, that perhaps she is beautiful or something to that effect. Here, it is not normal but not everyone knows that. You have to try and be a bit objective sometimes and not see everything from a western point of view when you are dealing with non-westerner.
