I can order beer for the ones coming to Irish pub. we're there mostly - especially in the weekends.

Any Japanese ppl are most especially welcome as I want to learn smt from them. Have also tickets for the match on 17th.

Il be arriving in Doha on the 29th of Jan to and really eager to meet people in their early 20's. Im 22 and the majority of people il be working with are a lot older... so if anyone is interested inbox me!!

I'm from New Zealand and moving to Doha in late Feb. I'm 22 and am definately keen to meet some people around my age!

we need to meet people too. There are 3 of us that have moved over just before xmas and we have only met the oldies so far! We are all in our early 20's and desperate to meet people! Does anybody fancy doing something one evening?? Maybe a group of us can get together??

Anybody have Facebook??

Harriet, Elliot & Ryan

its nice to know that there are A LOT of newbies coming to Doha and trying to make the most out of it.. thanks to all those who are kind enough to share their experiences.

wow.. seems like all the friendly people only are arriving here :)

I was board stupid when I first got here. Now I am having to figure out how to fit everything in. Give it time and you will be fine ;)

I moved to Doha not long ago and I'm just getting settled. There are a few good clubs and enough of a social scene to meet people and make friends.

Its probably worth finding a couple of people already here to show you around and help you find your feet. Is there nobody at your new employer who you know?

i'll be up for making new friends. Im moving to Doha at the end of January. Im 22 so im not too sure what the 'general' age group is, but it will be fun to have friends around my age groupish lol.

Hey, I'd love to make some new friends too, I'm moving to Doha the beginning of February for work and don't know anyone over there!

One shot....sigh you are right...We are late and others have freaked her out already with numerous creepy offers

A week is a very short time.. In dulge in a hobby. You'll make friends through work or perhaps through QL and soon, you will have a social circle to keep you by.

Good Luck!

If anyone wants to know details about certain places like prices, preferable dress codes, ask here; theres hardly anything here I/people dont know about..not really a big place you know.

Well, the temperature is actually getting better at night.

Looking at all these posts made me realize that the atmosphere here is getting more social too. I'had never talked to strangers here a few years ago, now it happens every now & then...pretty cool.

What, I think, gives off is that some/most people here think 'a girl talked to you? Your getting lucky tonight'. They dont have the concept of being just plain social or just complimenting or sharing some thoughts with fellow (window)shoppers. Ah well, things are changing hope it stays that way. I see couples talking about socializing with others...thank god its about frikkin time. Any time around a couple wants to hang out at a sheesha or watch a movie we're in, Applebees is a must though ;)

but not getting caught ok

specially when you're new in town...sort of.

around this time, and the hottest time ever...most of the people are away and won't be back until next week.

But clubs/bars are open since Friday so I guess social events will be back in the norm in the next couple of days.

With QLSG...I'm not sure yet. UKEngQatar is away and DARUDE is nowhere. Maybe when the weather is a little less hot/humid, maybe we could do a dhow boat or beach trip ;P

try going to the neighbourhood mosque to get a whiff of local culture.

@ Pavlina - Haha...like I said, coming from a life in Canada full of friends and things to do is quite a change moving to Doha! I think Doha is awesome though; as long as you make friends there are lots of things to do... (this is what I keep telling myself anyways...haha)

lkinmond: see you there then... :))

wow ikinmond, you ARE generous!

lkinmond: You can join us on Thursday..... will pm you the details... :)

i think by now you will not ask this question because as i think you received dozens of PMs hehehe :P

Aquila - we are in the same position, we came over from Toronto about a month ago and have been looking for things to do. It's definitely hard to meet younger people in Doha, people really keep to themselves!

We got active on this site as it's an easy icebreaker - definitely come out with a group from here sometime! A bunch of us took a trip out to a remote beach yesterday and had a BBQ, it was great! I'm sure there will be more events coming up so keep your eyes peeled. You definitely have to put yourself out there to meet some people locally (be careful as well though - use your judgement - make sure you meet up in a public place with guys AND girls). My wife and I (young couple!) are always up to do anything - if you want to go for a drink or go shopping or something sometime drop us a message!

Aquila lets go out together someday!! IF you have reached your legal age of partying..lol

seriously though, I would look for a club that interests you. Most of the country revolves around shopping and work, but everyone likes to get a bit of a break. If you go to school then Im sure there will be a good number of younger people there, but I havent heard of any places to meet people, though Ive looked a bit.

Personally, I go swimming and smoking sheesha at waqif quite a bit, but there arent really a whole lot of people to meet at either. Unfortunately, I dont think this place really caters to us younger people, though at the end of the month there's going to be a tiesto beach party, so maybe you could meet some people there.

aquila: Welcome to doha and Ql family

We ql members meet every thursday, location we can pm you if you would want to join us

Here I am lol..

they move away.
