I am even more foreign to them than my western husband. Men are men I guess everywhere, but I'm somehow MORE different. Anyhow, that's how I see it. <br />ClareClarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16714131439497813551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657596467225000505.post-76125372506104145252009-10-13T01:41:53.275-07:002009-10-13T01:41:53.275-07:00As a man – I can ‘imagine’ how it is a a woman; bu...As a man – I can ‘imagine’ how it is a a woman; but cant really know.

On the contrary, people are usually wary of us westerners and you'd think parents would warn their kids to stay away...not make themselves at home. I could understand if you had children and they were coming over to play or something...Good think you are nice and friendly.Nice picture by the way.<br />JennJennifer H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657596467225000505.post-52462249622566030802009-10-11T12:34:16.864-07:002009-10-11T12:34:16.864-07:00They also know the rules – and know they broke the...They also know the rules – and know they broke them. <br />They had been watching and knew you were in the house – alone .<br />Would they have done it to an Omani woman – no.<br />But – they are bored – no school?!<br />And you are a unknown – interesting – person – who isn’t on their social network.<br />I never let any over my threshold – even for ‘Karen Kashoo’ or ‘Eidiya’Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657596467225000505.post-38669255826561674092009-10-08T20:25:20.937-07:002009-10-08T20:25:20.937-07:00That's absolutely nuts.
