Come on, isn't that what they're doing by having clubs, bars and concerts. What kind of more relaxing would you want? They gave in with the need for the existence of bars for the foreigners in the country. You do not see that? Here you are whining on and on, questioning them with such restrictions. Such as how you can't wear short skirts in bars or do public displays of affection??
And yes, I do know that hardly nobody from the western world would really want to live in a conservative country..but is it also right for you, an outsider to come here for work but instead, mock and poke their cultures and customs. Which brings me to my first point that I have presented you, I completely disagree with your propaganda of pushing the limits/liberation. It is not our role to bend the cultures of this country. Let the Qataris decide on how and when to change..if they will ever change. This is their culture, don't come and bend it backwards. Yes, we are ranting about the freedom of choice but please do not forget that we're in a land not of ours, a culture that we did not grow up in..Respect it. However truth or bull you may want to say, we are foreigners --outsiders. It is not our call to liberate what we deem is necessary as to something so small like women's attire.
They were asking for compliance, not internalization.
They way I see it, you are too proud to follow the simple rules of this country. You go here for perhaps a better employment and yet here you propaganding such attempts of radical change in the society simply because you just defy to wear something more appropriate for the locals. You see, they're trying to meet half way with the foreigners. How could you be so radical and still find fault in their efforts to keep some sense of their cultural preservation in a soceity of non-locals who make up almost the nation's population.
