Stunning Mosque
I'm saddened by your story of disrespect in the mosque but not surprised. We have encountered similar in the past. Yelling at passport control does not make sense to us either- surprised that worked. Looks like you've found the land of nice bright and shiny buildings. Eager to read more.

I second what you and Dave & Merry J Blinkley said, my biggest pet peak when I am abroad is seeing tourists doing whatever they want with no respect of the rules, especially when they are dressed inappropriately for religious/sacred sites.
