Young American looking for something to do!

By csymllr

Hello everyone,

I moved to Qatar 2 months ago and am getting a bit bored of living a repetitive lifestyle working Saturday to Thursday. I haven't found any places to meet people my own age yet and the cliquey nature of the culture here has started to become a bit discourageing. Most of my co-workers are married and/or are at least 10 years older and can't really relate that well. Anyway, the related posts I found when searching the site were a bit outdated, so I though I'd throw a new one out.

Enough of the complaining, I was wondering what you guys do for fun around here as picking up hitch-hikers has been my most successful socializing endeavor so far. Anyone with ideas of looking to hang out feel free to post a response or shoot me a pm.

-Casey

Hi they have only Shotguns and 50 meter rifle. and its so much fun i use to go there often......and no need of membership, u can just go directly and pay for bullets and shot they have there own shotguns for costumers.and if you dont have any experince then they also teach you how to shot.just let me know when you planning to go i can arrange you something better as the coch is my friend who woks there.

Cheers!

Sarah, Im not looking so much for a certain age group, I just cant really relate that well with the 30, 40, and 50 somethings (or their families) that I work with. I havent been able to meet anyone outside of work and Im not ready to be a 'career type' just yet. I feel like a robot running through the same schedule day after day. The only thing that seems to change is the amount of coffee I have in my jar and the place I go for lunch.

Rami, if your a night owl I make it to tajine at the souq just about every thursday night (or is it friday morning) at about 1 or 2. Ill either be with my filipino buddy who has a ponytail, or alone whistling to my mp3 player.

Soli, ive never been shooting at a club before, just out in the woods camping. What kind of guns do they have and whats the process for a membership?

Tony, Im not much of a basketball player, but when do you guys go out to play football?

I've been living here about 7 months and haven't really met anyone. What kind of age group are you looking for? I'm 18 btw.

To answer a few questions, yes I like to play sports. I have been checking out the World Cup, but I havent had a pole and stage in my house for four years. I dont think pot grows out in the desert, but I do go out to a bar every Thursday. I love camping, and am always up to go swimming, though I have never been scuba diving before but keep me posted. And yes, I am a guy.

I guess I should look into some of these sports clubs here in the near future.

Thanks for the help,

Let me start by, how lame this question of "What can we do in Doha?" has gotten. Also how lame the fact that doha is "boring" for most expats from ALL over the world, has gotten. I got sick of reading thousands of those post. I reached a point that I felt like really Doha is BORING!

NOW IT'S CLEAR THAT DOHA IS BORING AND THERE IS NOTHING TO DO IN IT, APART MAKING MONEY

Now I hope I don't see any of those posts anymore. Because it's frustrating. I lived here my whole life, I am born, raised here and I live here. So thank you for making me feel like sh** from once in a while, but THANK YOU I don't want to know it!!!

One way or another, you will enjoy yourself here, one day just like every other expat that found a way out of BOREDOM.

"And there are QLERS that are just lovely, they will help you out" Pfffttt do not believe that, they're bunch of losers.

As a conclusion, one day you will reach a day where you will say "I want to leave!" it's completely normal, it's the side effect of Doha. Best medicine to this side effect is "first-flight-to-USA" :)

Take care
