Why we left

Why I don’t miss Qatar

I left Qatar recently and heres why!

I can drive now in peace and happy without worrying if some idiot in a land cruiser will drive into me and kill me
I can walk in peace without being started at by men and approached all the time
I can show my shoulders and knees
I can buy what I want – when I want you know what I mean
I can walk up hills, skip in the flowers and be free
I can wake up not knowing what the weather will be like today
I can spend hours wondering what to do as there are so many choices
I can be happy and at peace knowing I survived
I can choose a station to listen to not Qatar Radio
I can read different papers full of rubbish
But most of all I feel free!!!!

notfromhere, i sat in the round table between strangers. Half the group were canadian lecturer for education city, the other half were 2 scottish couple, 1 mix scottish with irish hubby who work in banking. Me and the lady who sat next to me bought their CD from the bar. And she said lets get the autograph ... The curtained section which supposed to be their place when they have a break were empty. Later on we found them hiding in the storage area ... they were hiding from the fans lol :P

UKEngQatar, everytime we had a long holiday i always depressed for the first 2 or 3 weeks when we came back to Doha. I call it Doha Blues ... But once i got settle back into routine i am fine ...

LOLS.....

i don't get the idea.she leaves the country and then gets back on a forum almost exclusively meant for current residents of that country,and then starts a thread explaing why she's on top of the world after leaving the country.what's the point?sheesh!

Keep smiling!
