See on the ceiling right in the corner of my hotel room? Can you see the little green arrow there? What do you think it's for? Major cultural sensitivity points to anyone who guesses right.
The answer: the arrow points to Mecca and allows Muslims to face in the correct direction when they pray.
I had to be told this. I couldn't figure it out for myself. I thought it was something to do with the sprinkler system.
I also lost a tonne of cultural sensitivity points for wondering why there was a doormat rolled up in my wardrobe. It eventually struck me that it's a prayer mat.
Yes that prized job in the UN seems to be slipping further away every day.
