Kevin you are truly doing doing brave and essential work over there, keep it up and please stay safe. I worked in Saudi for 5 years,living in the desert with the bedouins. I had to work in the harems(not exotic, just the back room) with the women you are not really a hypocrite taking their picture as I took many and they really did not mind except if they said so. so I really appreciate this blog it brings the day to day reality to us here in couch potato land. Do not forget though you will have the culture shock of being back in the West once you leave that lovely country. You have to remember it is here you come from and give it time.
Inshallah you will stay safe.
