Hi,
I agree with you about the chance to meet people from everywhere here in Doha,the opportunity to have have an italian group as I suggested was maybe just to help new joiners for their start up.
Now I am back to Italy.
I came to Doha last week just for a few days.My intention was to see how it looks like to live there.
I rented a car and trayed to see as much as possible, unfortunately couldn't meet anyone and this gave me the impression that Doha is a city without a soul. Anyway soon I will come back again because I wont give up the opportunity of a good job untill I am sure is not worth it.
By the way, I looked for Ciao Restaurant along Salwa Rd but could not find it(taxi drivers dont know it)I will be for my next visit to Doha.
Ciao a presto.
