Dubai is only 4 hours from us, but whenever we cross the border we become well aware of the change in rights and laws. With the bars, brothels, parties and expat hangouts you could easily be hoodwinked into thinking you were in a normal first world country, until you break the laws that you never realised existed.
Driving on the roads as an expat, you know that if you have an accident with a local, it's your fault...

Glad, I live in the only Middle East country on the Philippines good list, at least I know that my family have rights.
