Hi all,
I am fresh off the boat (FOB) as they call it and I was wondering on what to do in Doha during the weekends. Please suggest some fun stuff to do to drive away boredom.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know when you went. I go to the downstairs pub type place and sit outside, so there's no music or dancing or anything.

Olive: do you go to Admirals in the evening for the dancing and music? I only went one time and the music was so ear piercingly loud that we had to leave before our eardrums burst. Is it always like that?

I like Admirals at the Ritz Carlton myself.

@ venky,well there you have it mate,"doha is amazing" according to Hannah,which is why she(or he,people are very bored here so multiple id's on QL to kill time is common) is badmouthing someone she(or he) doesn't know & has never met @ half past 2 on a friday night,THAT's how "amazing" it is...so there's your solution,PM Hannah,fix a date & get to see "amazing" Doha,problem solved!...good luck! *wink*!!!

venky_83, This place is amazing. Don't take gadarene seriously. He is unemployed for years and staying with his parents. So that's why he is so bitter. He likes Qatar though.

Think of how to make enough money so you can get out of this sad town every weekend...
