...The uneasy coexistence of the two cultures only became a problem on one occasion when we left our 12 year-old in a hotel off the beaten track for the morning because she preferred reading her Harry Potter book to trailing around a museum. An hour later she rang in a panic. The waiter from breakfast had visited her room, not once, but several times. The first time he asked if she needed anything. She sent him away, but he kept returning with flowers and offers of marriage, pointing at the bed she was sprawled across. "He's a Syrian and he's been sacked," the manager said when we rushed to retrieve her, but we were as much at fault for having left her alone in a place where unchaperoned girls might be deemed to be courting attention.

The mother needs to be slapped around a few times for leaving her 12 year old daughter alone in a foreign country, especially when in a Islamic country.

It just seems to me to be a bit foolish to travel to a majority moslem country unless you are hauling a bunch of munitions to be used there.

It is insane to take a child over there.

Especially when we are in the midst of a war on islam (terrorism).
