    Angel, I am so sorry to hear what happened to you. I know how awful it is. How long have you lived there?
    I have traveled a lot, and was subject to constant insults by sexual harassment, open masturbation, and exposure by men from Asia/East when I was a guest in these countries. And believe me, I was covered up like a snowman! I don't even know how they figured out I was female :) .
    Every female I know who has traveled in these regions have the same experience and it seems very very common. What I think you have to do is 1) do NOT talk to men who are alone (they think its an intimate invitation), 2) do NOT look them in the eyes. 3) do NOT stand close to them. Maybe some of the locals have additional advice for you according to their knowledge. You do need to be careful as Bahrain has only a 2 week sentence for rape and small fines for other assaults. Its at least good the police did indeed write down your complaint, and fantastic that the manager took immediate action. Hope the police give him a real good beating! That can be much more humiliating to him than some fines he'll bribe himself out of.

    George, your response to her questions are absolutely horrid! What an awful man you are!! Shame on you.

    I have never in my entire life been sexually harassed in the west. Harassment of women is extreme in the East and in Asia, so don't even compare. Admit your problems - only then can they eventually be solved. If you always deny them or are defensive about them, nothing can change and everything remains the same.
