Hi everyone :)) I need tips on what to pack and what not to bring for settling for work in Qatar. I will be leaving in a week. I would appreciate all your tips. I am a Filipina. This girl is excited to be there! Thanks in advance ^_^
haha..i'm a pic addict so apart from the pieces of advice i told you..better keep CAMERA handy and with in reach..you'll never know when you'll gonna need it to capture the momments..lol
what to pack for qatar? mmmm just ur stuff. its so hot as everyone is telling u but it get so cold in winter so if ur not going back before next year get ur winter cloths...u r comin in the worst time to qatar :P welcome
Hi gurl..better packed all the fashionable clothes u have in ur closet coz that’s been a problem to me since I arrived here..either u’ll find the same size that’s fits u but not the type of fashion u’re comfy with or either u’ll find clothes u’re taste but too big for you..that can fit two girls inside..we filipina has sexy small frame so take what’s you think will suit here..veil, bukra or abaya is not necessary since this is not a as strict as Saudi though I think it depends on ur employer..but for me I try to wear my clothes I’m used back home but I put a tights underneath..u’ll enjoy here though it’s kinda boring..but life here is much simpler compared to Phil..have a safe flight..goodluck!

see you in Doha ^^
as for foods, it's very cheap here..you'll be surprise..
clothes, not that much but if u opt for more fashionable ones, the price are bit higher though u can afford it though..
accomodation is much expensive here
transportation not that much..just demand ur employer to provide u with transportation..
and to sum it up..don't convert okay?don;t compare the prices here to Phil..either u'll be disappointed or be happy..either way it's up to u..
in totally it's simple here..gimiks are not that good..don;t forget to bring ur laptop coz it will keep u company esp facebook...hahhaa...
Super thank you, I appreciate all the inputs :))
thank you RENATO, BISDAK, POOL PLAN, PRETTYICE, STRAWBERRY, XXC ^^
good thing i'm not really into alcohol!hehe
looks like i will say goodbye to short shorts for now.
One more thing to ask. Is the cost of living expensive like foods, clothes and the like?
And how much do I have to bring for pocket money?
^_^ people are nice!
haha..i missed my clothes..how i wish i can don my cute blouses here..damn..it'so hot..wish we can go to malls or fool around in shorts and skirts...
