Thanks for your reply, I appreciate. Well, I have no intention to use recreational drugs in Qatar or the Middle East, of course I tried them in the past in my early 20's, I mean I used to live in London where is virtually mandatory if you want to have a social life but it's never been my cup of tea as you say, I also don't drink alcohol and I'm not gay, did I give that impression? Of course I have many gay friends though, I grew up in Netherlands mainly and possess a belgian passport due to my father where same-sex marriages are legal as well as adoption and very much socially accepted. Not my case though. I'm heterosexual.
I've been to the Middle East many times and I'm aware on the pluses and minuses and yet I'd like to have a 2 year experience, learn arabic and have a different perspective of life perhaps... I already lived for 1 year and a half in Tokyo and 1 year in Sao Paulo, now my eyes lie upon Middle East.
So my concern is not drugs as I haven't done any for the last 4 years and my London clubbing days are thing of the past, no alcohol, I'm HIV-, I'm not interested in casual sex nor dating.... I was just hoping a flight attendant or someone who works inside Qatar Airways would be kind enough to tell me if they test you for Hepatitis C and also if along with UAE is a reason for deportation.
My other concern perhaps is that I have I quite notorious german-jewish last name, Bloomberg and although am agnostic and have no religion (I'm rather spiritual and passionate by other perople's beliefs) , I was wondering if this could be an issue as well.
Morning Mandi,
