Jauntie, actually Im in Holland at the moment, getting my budgets together both for the set up phase of the company and operating budgets.
When I get them finished will come over and discuss with the Qatari partners and probably hang around for a couple of weeks longer. I expect to be perm. on qatar in about 6 weeks.

Germany wasnt too bad, I actaully built a house there as my base but spent most of my time working away in the world, Saudi, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Ukraine, Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, Kasakhstan etc.
Beleive me there are worst places than Germany and certainly worse than Qatar.
