Precisely what I was getting at.Yeah, they have a Parliament and everything.
But I have first-hand experience of Manama, Bahrain. I was there for a month in the Drydock.
The Saudis use Manama as a kind of sexual pressure valve. On thursday and friday you won't get a single room at a hotel. Married and single Saudi men drive down to Manama to sleep with east european women (prostitutes). There are dance bars, brothels...anything goes.
Not that I'm judging them- they are humans and men too. Their own country does not allow it, but looks the other way when they go to Bahrain. The Saudis built a huge billion dollar bridge to Bahrain for this!!!
It's amazing!!
I know an elderly colleague of mine, bohot shareef se hain. He went on a business trip to Bahrain. There in the hotel, a pimp knocks on his door and is presenting him scantily dressed 'ladies' for the night. Haha next day he went to our Bahrain office and raised hell about the kind of hotel they made him stay at. They told him its normal in all hotels!
But on the flipside their parliament allows them other benefits as well. They fight for the rights of people, many times the rights of foreigners have been debated in Bahrain - which NEVER happens elsewhere in the region.
