no alcohol, no smoking, no touching?, no cleavage flashing!, i don’t know the next, no public display of affection, no cross-dressing?!
it’s so funny!
btw, great new theme!
You are right in almost all! Thanks for appreciating the new theme.
One of them makes me want to say “No Super Heroes” LOL
Angie @ Many Little Blessingss last blog post..I would love some homeschooling resources recommendations!
lets see… No cross-dressing, no hand holding, Men -No shirts! (hey its opposite here in the states), ladiea -no painting “y” on yer chest, no pick pocketing, no bacon on a stick, and no frothy drinks! WHA?
No cross-dressing..check. No hand holding/public displays of affection-> for unmarried couples. Men- no shirts..actually this sign is not clear to me. Ladies no painting y on the chest…LOL! It meant no showing of cleavage or indecent dressing! Your interpretations are too funny! The frothy drink and the bacon are alcohol and smoking – in public – both prohibited now. And I kind of like it!
Your new theme is beautiful, Grace.
No superheroes allowed?
Are men not allowed to walk behind women?
Thanks for the comment on the theme. I thought people would think it’s too overwhelming.
Men are allowed to walk behind women but touching women you don’t know in public is of course, sexual harassment and prohibited – as in any other country, I suppose.
LOL with your no superheroes! It meant no cross-dressing!

No cape-wearing?
Too funny.
That meant no cross-dressing!!LOL! Superman is so much welcome here, you know.
Robins last blog post..View from Ein Gedi
What’s the one in the 3 o clock position? No short dresses? Hummm. What a funny sign! BTW, Love love love your new layout!
Yeah, no too much exposing of the skin without sunblock!! LOL! Seriously, it means no indecent (too short) dresses!
Thanks, I thought the new layout is too overwhelming.
Sheilas last blog post..WW…Everyone Remembered This Year!
Very interesting WW! I like the comment above that said “Ladies, no painting a Y on your chest”…I took it to mean don’t show your cleavage.
Happy WW!
LOL on the Y painting too! Yes, it meant no indecent dresses…too short, revealing and leaving nothing to the imagination!

No affection in public? What is with that guy poking the lady in the back?
Great WW.
Unmarried couples are not allowed to kiss/be affectionate in public. The guy poking at the back of the lady is supposed to mean physical sexual harassment.

Too funny! I’m surprised they don’t have signs like this in Saudi! Or maybe it’s pretty much always been like that so they don’t have to have signs since everyone knows… and you know there aren’t really tourists like in Dubai so they don’t have to worry about anyone not knowing…
I like the new design too!
Kristas last blog post..Two!
What an interesting WW. I like it.
Come on over and check out my stationary giveaway….

Superman is not welcome to Dubai??? That’s so wrong!
sarahs last blog post..My First Giveaway!
hello grace!
We are fine
big na kaayo si danielle and josh is trying to stand on his own!…. BTW- while the new theme is refreshing- murag mas ganahan ko sa katong brick red theme nimo prior to this. The previous one is cool for the eyes- the interface is simple and elegant- and i can browse as quickly as i want, and reflective of Dubai’s way of life…. for this new theme (unsolicited advice), mas tropical man ang dating kesa ‘dessert’ living…
dili puede sa dubai ang mag holding hands?? — the others would be smooching or displaying of public affection in public, no cleavage-revealing dresses, no cross-dressing and what does the sign with a guy wearing a necklace mean? no conspicuous jewelries for men?
No chasing women around looking at their bums!
Love the bacon on a stick comment! LOL.
I thought the superman one was “No having sex standing up.” lol And the one with the man poking the lady’s back is “No touching women when their battery is low.”
I like the new layout, bright and fresh. Summer-y!
