* Gulf climate changes so fast, in one hour u can see raining, dust storm, hot / humid / chilling weather
* If u can't earn money in the Gulf, u can't earn anywhere in the world
* In Gulf, time goes very fast, Friday to Friday comes u never know, its sooo fast
* You love your parents, friends, relatives 100 times more than when you were together

Petrol is cheaper than water-absolutely true

* Any building construction finishes in 3 months- nope

* Unqualified get more salary than Qualified- not only in the gulf.

* Show-off matters more than real quality & performance-i dont think so

* Companies can kick out their employees without any reason- due process in the phils.

* Recommendation are more powerful than money & qualification- it's whom you know, not what you know.

* Watchman has more Rights than the Building Owner- a fly on top of a carabao!

* Office boy & Drivers have more influence on Boss than Manager- no way!

* Gulf climate changes so fast, in one hour u can see raining, dust storm, hot / humid / chilling weather- happens only in march and april in qatar

* If u can't earn money in the Gulf, u can't earn anywhere in the world- only because it's tax free. im getting same rate compared in the phils.

* In Gulf, time goes very fast, Friday to Friday comes u never know, its sooo fast- good thing!

* You love your parents, friends, relatives 100 times more than when you were together- same intensity, only less access.

* Being at home is more painful than being at work- because it's a house not a home.

* people pretend to be more religious/God fearing than they really are- not applicable to me.

* Prostitutes available, but cheaper than beggars-oops!

* A ladies hair saloon every 5 meters- oh yeah! Same in the phils.

* Food/Grocery delivery to your doorstep- same

* Hard Rock Cafe with no alcohol- duh!

* In one single flats sharing with 5 families- aargh!

* A Shopping Mall located every 2 km- 3rd largest mall is Mall of Asia- in the phils

* Getting a license is more difficult than buying a car- other way around in the phils.

* Smashed cars are more than the bugs - bugs' lifespan is longer in the phils then.

cheers,

shav

Some suggested modifications to adopt to Qatar specifically.

* Any building construction takes more than 5 years to complete.

* Road constrctions are forever.

* Drivers(epmployed as drivers) are more powerful than their sponcers on the road.

* No Hard Rock Cafe

* 7-10 workers share one room

* prostitues are available but the most expensive compared to other countries.

Just my thoughts
