As a mother myself I constantly think about what would happen if I got into an accident here.
It's funny, when I was still a kid, I got into an accident in the middle east. Bear with me as I have to be little vague on the details...... but I was completely wrong...no-one else was involved, and only I got hurt. At the time I was driving someone else's car and it's funny how the police report just 'disappeared'. This was done on purpose and as a favour to the owners of the car....big shot VIP in the region. I can't go into details but it's amazing how corrupt the system is. At the time it went in my favour so I was grateful, but now if I were to get into an accident I am sure that I would be blamed.
And it's not like Doha is a METROPOLIS! It's tiny! The traffic here is a pain, but NOTHING like traffic in some parts of the world. So why is everyone in such a rush!? Why cut the cue. Why jump the red light. Inconsiderate and arrogant; that's what it is.
Outside Villaggio I watched as a perfectly able person parked in the handicap spot. I started to complain, but then my husband looked at me and said...."he's handicapped alright. In the brain!" I laughed and realised he's right.
