This info is of paramount importance to the complex way of life in Qatar. You did say "Gulf," which translates into the abyss--I hope for all our sakes, this would be a place to call our part time homes. I am sincere in saying thanks to your input. Unfortunately, some folks do not have the luxury as others, this decision is a necessary means to an end.

Helenann, Im still here, you are fortunately there, hope everything is well. I have lost contact with you but I hope my hi's and hello's are still welcome in your PM box--if not, I wish you well. Im still lost as usuall, I have 25th of this month for my start date.
