1) you were inappropriately dressed for Doha. You, as an expat, should KNOW that skirts are not to be higher than your knee. Doesn't matter how often you wore the skirt..it was still wrong.
2) The guy should have shown you his ID, IF he actually had one...I don't care WHERE you are, never go with someone who tells you they are police, because they might not be and then you are at their mercy, as Xena said. I would think that in a country such as Qatar, that they would have FEMALE CID officer to deal with such issues NOT male. I mean geez, even at the airport they have females doing all interactions with females.
Makes you wonder tho if the supposed CID officer and the shopkeeper weren't in kahoots together...playing the old "let's scare the bejesus out of an expat" game...
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
two points that are revelant here..
