I can't believe anyone would not do their research before travelling and if they don't then more fool them. I don't know why people are kicking up such a stink- human rights my arse, is wearing a cropped top or a pair of daisy dukes really the be all and end all? Come on you're in a country where women wear an abaya- show a bit of respect. Just seems like common sense to me. You are no longer in Croydon - get over it. To be honest when I go home I have to admit I wish some people would cover up a bit more and behave a bit better- your average friday night out involves puking in the street or coping off in public (at least find a dark corner) or falling over drunk flashing your 'smile' isn't exactly what human rights protestors had in mind I am sure - a bit of self respect wouldn't go a miss in our home country. Or maybe I've been here too long?

I would question if countries want to be seen on an international level how much they will have to shift their values. Hosting the world cup (and what comes with that ie boozing/fighting/men wearing shorts/singing of offensive songs/flashing of boobs and moobs etc) is obviously a complete contradiction to the lifestyle and seems like lunacy to me and I don't see how that can end as anything other than a shambles. On one hand at least KSA is what it says it is. You know what you get when you go there. The other countries which are trying to be something in between are the ones that appear to be struggling to find a balance of their ethics.

I saw Kuwait are trying to ban the bikini as well;
