Yes, it's true. The Saudi's don't want the women looking at monkey butts. The other story this man told me was that when he first moved there from Egypt, he was showing Mickey Mouse on the television monitor in his restaurant. The religious police came in and told him to stop the video and never show it again because Mickey was kissing Minnie and Donald kissed Daisy. Since he didn't want to get arrested and have the business shut down, Mickey & Co. had to go. Even cartoons can't kiss in public.

The sun slowly gave way to clouds then rain. This is not a city for walking in the rain. Before it was time to shelter and stay dry, I did one last walk around the area. The business district and surrounding areas are clean and little graffiti or murals. Found this flamingo? near the old city. While the leaves probably congest the waterways, they do look cool floating on the water. Ornate door entrance. Soon after this was taken, the clouds and mist lowered and the top of tower stayed obscured for the rest of my stay. I decided to pass on paying to go to the top when there was no visibility. Back in my hotel room I saw this rainbow emerge right before the rain started pelting down.
Oooh, monkey butts... that's a real turn on... think I'll go turn on Animal Planet and see if I get lucky...
