What a strange set of people you are. You live in Qatar and don't even understand the culture here? hmmm.

There is nothing unusual about there being a ladies and children event. And many boys above ten years old begin puberty. Not all of course.

Now if you don't wish to attend thats fine but no need to be snotty about it. It shows a real lack of understanding. I think the native population here would be a little annoyed that all their functions have just been termed 'boring'.

Each to their own I say.
