In name being the operative word

I think if you don't have public displays of affection you'd be fine. And Dubai is very different from the rest of UAE so I don't know. But if it's a principle thing, than I understand why you wouldn't wanna go there.

Yeah, it's a mix of principles and lack of freedom. Especially the latter. I'm very discrete and very rarely show affection in public, and not out of fear, I guess simply because that's the way I've been raised. But to think I'd have to constantly be aware of my surroundings would be a terrible thought. :c

Makes sense. But you have to do that anyways(I think). Like Japanese culture is completely different and you have to respectful to different cultures wherever you are. 

That said, this is basically my life hahaha. Not because of lack of freedom or anything, I'm studying in Montreal. But maybe because I am just that way or maybe I'm conditioned that way because my city went to hell after 9/11(Quetta, Balochistan, Pakistan if you're wondering) and I was only 4 at the time. So being aware of my surroundings is either my nature or engrained in me. Can't tell which though because nature and nurture are entangled pieces that work together.  That's why I'm more wary of americans than chinese because chinese drones never killed anybody in my province. Nor did the chinese government bring a war to my soil. We are basically the punching bags, even by our own miltaray. There have been books written about "The great game". That is, all these different governments mixed up in my province and afghanistan and how they are basically using it as a strategy for control. I don't like armies for that reason as well and don't have much respect for soldiers. I don't mean to be offensive, that's just how I view the world because that's how the world shaped me. Kinda getting off topic but needed to vent a little



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also
