what do people generally do, in a still/dull place liek doha, after office hours and especially during weekends? I wonder often.
People with families, will have their daily chores of managing a house and its members - but what do Bachelors/spinsters do here in doha?

I tried liasing wiht people, try to have some get togethers - but people seem to be in some mad-rush for shopping in doha! doha is filled with shopping malls and food outlets. and yes, they are multiplying even more, on our own expenses, ultimately of course.

There is no space/time given for any personal /intellectual discussions, meetings nothing.
and .....most people, tend to mind their own businesses.

Neither do i smoke or drink. These 2 factors are magnets for social gatherings, and because im deficient in these habits, I again keep wondering.....
.... what do people do in doha?

and by the way - the food festival was disappointing!. just soem stalls to market hoteliers and thats it. Does not attract and showcase stuff for normal crowds. So, please have soem other plans than going there.
