Abu Dhabi, I Thought This was Part of the Modern World

Well I have been here about 4 days now and I have found some disturbing realities of life here, Skype is banned Flickr photo storage site is banned, Chat and video chat is banned on messenger, They require so many medical checks to get a work permit that you have to be a monk to pass, You cannot have a camera of any sort with you in any work site, not even on a laptop, if you want to take a laptop then you are expected to allow the authorities to check all files contained within, so no beach shots of your wife as that may be declared as porn, I feel like I am in Communist Russia, I can get a beer if I wish but I cannot chat with my wife on messenger. Total bullshit.
