Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Things to do in Dubai (NFC, yet)

[LarryT (l02turner]

Yeah, they take drinking seriously in muslim countries. ;-^ When flying 
towards a muslim country you'll see many of the planes occupants who appear 
middle eastern (sorry about the racial profiling, but it's my prerogative) 
drinking like there's no tomorrow.  Then, when the plane enters the 
countries' air space many change into traditional garb and stop drinking.
When flying to Saudi Arabia a few years ago I sat next to a engineering co. 
rep. (owner IIRC)  who thought I would be in a position to get him on 
bidding lists (not likely I said ;-) but that didn't stop him buying us 
drinks all the way from UK to SA.

Can you say hypocrite ?
