Pals....
I'm new here, and so lonely, but by nature i'm social, and like outdoors' activities, so far feel isolated, from hotel to work and from work to hotel, eating alone, and worry to miss my way in the short distance between hotel and work,
evenings i just spend time into bar of my hotel, no other option....:((
is anyone willing to help?
at office no one but me and a newly joined assistant.
even though i supposed to build a team for our company new branch in Qatar,
your inputs may help.
thanks in advance

Thanks friends,

yes i've many hobbies,

i like mostly fishing trips in open water,

i don't drink, even though i go to bar, just to be with people, and see people, more intresting than coffe shops,

well, i wasn't in egypt before, i was in saudi for 17 years :), lol

still i like hanging out,

i don't like sitting home, it would kill me,

Do the same as you did in Egypt, make friends!

i know that Egyptians are social and have fun most of the time with each other, religious too.

what matters for you is your material life that has go a boost by your work here.

sometimes, we can not obtain all what we want.

yeah, that's right. Join clubs here in Qatar Living. Most people here are accomodating and willing to help. Try joining the group wherein you share the same interests.

Join a club. There is loads to do here in Qatar. What are your interests, or better still what have you always fancied doing. I always fancied sailing, and like you had nothing better to do, so I joined a sailing academy. Best thing I ever did! I may go looking for a gun club next. You can easily fill your week with something different every day of the week. You will meet and make new friends wherever you go, and a have a great social life here. Just get off yer but and get out of the bar.
