"If you look on the idea of a "dress code" with horror as an interfeerence with your personal freedom, how will you react to all the other restrictions here ?"

I never said anything of the sort. I was just asking questions. I had a set of locks while I lived in Taiwan. I saw that it was getting in the way so I cut them. I have no problem dealing with rules and regulations... i know how to play the game

Playing the game is what life is about, no matter where you are. That said, the Gulf is a rather conservative traditional culture and they tend to expect us to fulfill their expectations as to how 'westerners' look and dress on a professional basis. They don't expect Wall Street, but they don't much appreciate counter-culture styles.

Thank you for your kinder reply

That is what i assumed, but wanted to ask just to be sure. Recently I have been mulling over the idea of having locks again. But knowing that I will just have to cut them off in 2 years is keeping me from growing a set.

Yes, Scot47 can be a bit of a grouch sometimes, but the rest of us are used to him... (and he is much kinder and gentler than he used to be... apparently mellowing with age...)
