I would have smiled with joy, to see a couple sneaking a kiss, and cuddling in a public park...

Culture or not, the sight of love makes me smile.
It's a pity it's been ever since I came to Qatar that I am deprived from hugging my husband in parks and in romantic public places. I do respect the culture here, don't get me wrong, it's just that sometimes a woman needs a bit of assurance from her loved one, in public.
