What to definitely bring along?
I'm in the process of preparing my move to Qatar. I don't get a lot of money to ship my stuff over so I really have to choose what to bring and what to leave at home. Is there anything of which you say: Definitely bring that! I'm getting a fully furnished appartment so furniture won't be necessary.
Thanx...
you defiitely will need pink-coloured glasses...

Hey the laptop thingy was supposedly be a joke with truth on it...
Read again my very first comment am more particular with the word "PATIENCE", we all "expats" very much needs it when coming to Mideast. My joke was that.... when he lost his patience, he need a laptop to access QL to ask where to find it,:P
Just like any members who got upset with their bosses, colleagues and neighbors and post a thread in QL to rant out their angers. LOL
"Ano ka ba naman kuya?" ;)
If you like any particular over-the-counter medicine, bring that. Some brands and types just aren't available here.

Well try to bring summer clothes only and yeah laptop is a must :D
nothing in my posts that said, "don't bring it"!

Just my thought, there's a bit hassles when you are newly arrived in Doha and look for a place to buy for a new laptop when you have one at home loaded with your important files and ready for use.
and I read the comment of Apple and myself, and if I have a good laptop (I said good one, maybe latest or recently-purchased), definitely, I'll bring it with me. You need some humor, tallg. There are certain things you will bring whether someone tell you to bring or not to bring! get it now?

Nope. I don't get it. Obviously my bad.
If you have a laptop, bring it with you, unless you're happy to blow a few thousand riyal on another.
Squarepeg is right - bring lots of 3 pin plugs and plug adaptors which have passed relevant safety standards. All the ones out here are rubbish and liable to burn out.
Much of the electrical equipment sold in Qatar has European plugs but the electrical sockets take UK plugs. Bring earthed European extension leads (and change the plugs for UK ones when you arrive). The adaptors available here are not safe. I personally regret not bringing my cotton blankets, so much cooler than even the lightest duvet.
(on why the need to bring laptop) fun is already there! You still don't get it tallg? Lol!!!

why bring one when you can have it easily (not necessarily "cheap", I use the word cheap because I find it next luxury item next to cellphone which almost everybody has).

"dgoodrebel is not plastic"
She said bring a laptop. You said laptops are cheap here. I asked where they are cheap here as I've never seen any.
I obviously missed the joke.
my comment regarding laptop was a follow-up of Apple's comment! Get it?

No need to bring anything. Everything is available here..
once-in-a-while you get out of your shell. Try to take some fresh Doha air. Lol!!!

Lil difference....
But hey in our country, dont u think its much cheaper in Phils.? Coz mostly are made and assembled in China.

"but laptop are so cheap here" ????????????????!
Jackets and coats take up a lot of room...don't bother! I didn't wear a jacket once last winter (if that's what you want to call it).
Instead, bring a few sweaters.
Also, if there are any medications that you really rely on, or other products---bring a supply of those. You may not find them here.

Bring load of patience! and oh, dont forget also to bring your laptop so you can access and ask Qler's where to find, when you lost your patience. :P

Mr Panda, don't be such an Arse! She won't need a jacket for at least 6 months!!
YPostma - make a list of all the things you feel you can't live without and we can tell you if they are available here!
