Weather in Dubai is pleasant (a slightly stuffy 80F, with a light breeze off the sea), but not pleasant enough that I'd want to walk around in this. The men get to wear white robes, but the women all wear black. I can only assume that this leads to truly epic cases of swamp-***.
Also, the taxi kiosk at the airport has a separate station for "Ladies' Taxis," cabs with pink tops and female drivers. Females aren't required to use ladies' taxis (i.e. Westerners), but I get the feeling that it is strongly encouraged by local customs for local women.
Feminists, to arms!!

It's not polite to stare.
Or hip-thrust.

Oh right, you're the one who has gone to Dubai. You've never seen pictures or read articles about life in the Middle East before?

It's one thing to see pictures and read articles.
It's another thing to see it in the flesh (so to speak). Seeing a family out to dinner, with the mother covered head-to-toe in black cloth (while the father wears jeans and a polo), eating with the damned thing on and trying to control her kids, you realize how similar but eerily different this culture is. I suppose you'd get used to it, but it's still unsettling.
It's also really hard to tell the uggos from the babes.

Working exactly as intended. The old reason being, of course, that kidnappers didn't know which girls to go to the trouble of targeting and acquiring.
I quite like having an adequately resourced, relatively uncorrupted police force to make a burqa unnecessary. Plus being free of the calcification of old protective tactics into a fundamentalist religious moral concept of sinful or non sinful dress.

Obviously, being a man of immense depth, that has nothing to do with the lack of burqas. It's tangential, I swear.

You should discuss with Cestinshaman my theories on why he should look at breasts more in the street. Strangely enough, it's for legitimate educational purposes.
I'm a strong believer that "Come in, Tokyo!" is due for a comeback.

Why, is it a path to learning the mysteries of following male fashion attire for nerds, too?
We called them "bowling pins" back when I was in Saudi. They bear an uncanny resemblance to the Brunswick #5 pin sitting there all by its' lonely self waiting for a pick-up spare in the ninth frame.

I had a brief glimpse into the "night life" of Dubai on the way back from the office this evening. Plenty of 5-pins waiting to be picked up, so to speak.
They were just on the side of the road, right near to the hotel. One would think that, if the powers-that-be were in any hurry to clean them out, they'd have no problem finding them.
