The other day I had a puncture and a Qatari stopped on the side , he had a BMW and assisted me. Qataris are very respectful.

The Qataris I've met so far (mostly at Qatar Foundation) are the best people I know so far.

I used to think Japanese people are the most modest people in the whole world, but now I think differently. Qataris top them easily.

I've had some very good experiences with the locals' generosity, Al Hamdullilah. From the LC drivers who gave us lifts too and fro to various places when we were still new here and had no car, to the young men who would at food courts not only give us their seats but even take the trouble to go get us an extra chair. And then you get the ladies who I have had the pleasure of visiting who are fabulous hosts, and even the kind old folks in the masjids who are so so adorable, the list goes on! Whilst I'm not naive to say they are ALL most courteous happily I've met many of them who are,Thank God!

S.J, Well if God is on my side, then i am safe every where..

and yup nothing is perfect, but the creator..

Qatar is good for many things. but if there is NOC, Human rights, and Good Weather ( snowfall in winter and temp max 25 degree in summer :p )

then may be we need few things more :p

Nope, they are some of the worst drivers in the world. The single highest cause of deaths in young people is by road accident- they are losing a generation to this.

Just outside my compound on Friday night (on a major intersection) they were flipping their cars onto 2 wheels and guess what, they had an accident. And also guess what, no one was arrested and nothing was done, it will happen again this weekend no doubt.

a person in LC will not do like this...

owners of BM's are more helpful and generous then the one in LC's..

and Lincoln is right..

This is one of the noble Arab attitudes. But: they expect you to do the same when they have a problem.
