They've holidayed there twice? Believe me living there is different. We had a large apartment with staff, all perks of the matrix. We left an airconditioned apartment, straight into an airconditioned car, straight into airconditioned Nursery, restaurant, mall etc... the seconds inbetween we roasted.
Yes, you do need to cover up in public, it's called respect for the laws of the country.
We left after 2 years as we saw more and more human rights exploitation and couldn't live with the guilt of seeing so many things.
Not that that aspect would touch them in anyway.
Oh and also, you never saw scruff bags, people dressed well even to do food shopping.
My nephew lives there now and things have not changed.
