That pic reminded me of a story when I was deployment to the Gulf last year. We had just arrived in Dubai, the ships company was warned about there culture and what we could and could not do. Anyway, one of the lads had just got a new camera and was sitting in a coffee shop having a brew and checking out the camera. He took a photo of a woman dressed the same but she was wearing glasses. Her husband came over and requested that my friend delete the photo or there would be problems. He was very pissed off. Later we find out its against there culture to have a photo taken by a "westerner".
Laughed my tits off.
