How to be social in Qatar

By learn.n.earn

For expats, it is very hard to be social with locals... but what about the expats? How one can be social with people from different nationalities... I am sure that most (if not all) of expats want to be meeting new friends... any sugetions?

(one of the reason most of us are on this site... is that we want to intract with others... isnt it?)

Well I think the most important is have an open mind and don't judge before you know the background of something. Different cultures brings different customs. But having an open mind an being yourself is the most important

You sound confident... is good.

However, most would agree that there must be some guidlines for new comers to be social.

Yes, I am feeling it difficult to find new friends here...

But I dont have any trouble with those who are around me  :)

Thanks anyway

theres not much places to meet here than at the pubs... i mean if you stopped someone at the malls to say hi ,.. they l think you were nuts or something... and ive heard that it is not as safe as it seems to be on the outside, so people are not too friendly out there.....cant really blame anyone for that if there are things happening that are not very nice.....
