man.. i didnt expect so much of a response and now we are discussing language. this is interesting.
what i actually meant is that development should not be skin deep.. arabic as a language is great but no matter what nationality it isnt practical to ask everyone to learn arabic just bcos u r in an arab country.
doha has developed a lot since the good old days.. i came to doha when i was 2 yrs old and believe me its changed a lot. But as we develop look at the Labour scene-exploitation,low wages etc.. labourers who are making this country "Asian Games worthy"
Once my friend called up the police to complain about some disturbance from youth near his house and believe it or not he was made to wait 20mins so that someone who understood english came on, and after all the wait, a guy comes on the line and asks to come to the station and give a written complaint all this when teenagers high on whatsoever are running up and down my friends just painted sports car.. :(
check this out once i was working on my car outside and i had to remove the battery for some electrical work. i place the battery right next to my car and am busy working under the hood about 10-15 mins later i look up for some reason and voila.. the battery's gone. would u believe somebody just walked off with it from right under my nose.whats happening to this country.. whom do we blame?
now the best part, how many of you listen to our dear old QBS, the self-confessed "Number 1 in the gulf" if the radio was alive i would ask it to go get a life.. Some of our DJ's suck big time, not all though. I mean there's a lot left to wish for. Compare it to signals coming in from other GCC countries and the quality just mind boggles you. Keep wishing i guess
i know none of these are connected but hey.. welcome to qatar!!! Its like that perfect imperfection.. Qatar can do a lot better but i think thats gonna take a lot of dedication.. i hope it comes soon
