@DK - I am no blonde, but i still get those stares :P

Women are more of like new species to men here.... i guess they hardly seen women who dressed differently as to what they used to see for a long time.

I used to look at men in thobes when i first arrived here, because its a new sight for me, but now i dont even bother to look at them as i get used of the sight :P

So take your time, you will get used to it ;)
