Spend your free time with good friends that will keep you company and at the same time help you forget feeling "homesick" we left back home.. I do believe this is really important for us to go on each day without them and try to have fun as much as we want to...

drinking is not the only solution...

Make some friends...QL might help

hangout with them during free time...you can go for movies

Join a gym...play your fav sport

you can call home almost every day through VOIP...

you wont feel home sick..most important is to have some like minded friends...

not friends like Pirate and whyte..lol

Actually its my 1st time to work abroad & be away with my family all the while i thought i will be very lonely here but fortunately, the company ive been working with employed many filipinos too & befriend them ...just be strong & think that the reason y we are here is for our family ... With the help of internet connection i can talked to my families whenever i want too ... so i would suggest that u keep ur connection with ur family thru chatting & have some friends here :)

So be strong friend !!! Think positive :)

yes, I would agree that if you don't have your family here, homesickness will really struck you. Now if there is a possibility that you can bring your family, better.

If not, try to indulge yourself to recreation inside the community, a lot in Dukhan. And I will introduce you to some of my friends who are residents there so you won't get bored. Having a lot of friends will drive your homesickness away! When you arrived here, let's talk, I work there but does not live there.

word dude!

hehe forgot to answer the main question: For real, what i do, not to get home sick in here... (I run in the morning before work, go to gym at night) gets all the stress outta your system and makes you tolerate their matrix, until you meet some people who you'll click with.

Get a lot of P*rn CDs with you, u might need'em in the start, unless you are a-sexual or if u like dark or Asian boys.

All Qataris don't have their ways, only a chosen few.

So 100% agreement from the first two. Nothing to do then except get drunk and by the time you wake up you'll home sickness will be gone....

Why not try and embrace the culture? Buy a White land cruiser, get 10 maids, drinks lots of coffee and be late for work and leave early. It's easy yanni!

The knight agrees with the pirate...
