When in Rome...

Egypt self-defines as a secular state, but it is predominantly Islamic nonetheless. Both men and women cover themselves up wherever they are.

Strolling along the beach in the morning i come across three young European women sunbathing in bikinis. Indeed one of these women is topless sunning her breasts in the warm sun.

One hundred metres further down the beach, hidden behind a beach hut is a middle-aged Bedouin man, fully decked out in white jaliba and red and white turban. In his left hand he is holding a pair of binoculars clamped firmly to his eyes whilst his right hand is savagely beating at his groin. Totally disgusting!

I am inclined to go over to him and say something, but what is the point? This guy has hit jackpot as far as he is concerned, and the European woman should be more culturally aware of what is appropriate in an Islamic country.
