今天约了Lawrence,要给他送一些资料。
我们约在一个酒吧见面。
菲律宾酒吧,在马可波罗酒店边上,很有意思,第一次到迪拜的酒吧,或者说,非“洋人”的酒吧。
我一进去,服务员很有礼貌的问我的年龄,他问了三次,我都不理睬他,最后,他再问得时候,我笑笑说,18岁。
他很严肃的要我出示我的ID卡。
我问他难道觉得我不满18岁吗?
他说,他觉得我不够21岁。
晕。
原来在DUBAI, 非穆斯林在酒吧饮酒,是必须满21岁的。
Non-Muslim expatriates 21 years and over can obtain a licence to buy and consume alcohol.
It is strictly prohibited to let children of any religion who are under 21 to join people consuming alcohol in public places, even if they are with their own parents. 不管什么宗教,在DUBAI, 21岁以下都是不可以饮酒的,即使跟父母一起也不可以。
Dubai has also made it tougher to become a nicotine addict and has raised the minimum age to 21 at which a person is allowed to buy cigarettes. 另外,在DUBAI, 21岁以下也是不可以购买香烟的。
The law was changed in 2003. Elsewhere in the UAE, one must be at least 18 to buy cigarettes.直到 2003年,才更改成满18岁以上才可以购买烟。
我刚还带了护照复印件,这个菲律宾服务员才肯同意我购买了一杯长岛冰茶(Long Island Ice Tea).
这个菲律宾酒吧有很精彩的音乐表演
