I would like to thank all those who weighed in. I appreciate the opinions of those who are really chipper and happy about life in Doha, which i still think it really blows. And beccakinn, thank you for weighing in, but being able to breathe "clean" air and sending kids to good schools is not exactly my idea of a great life as i expect those to be basic human requirements. I am not saying that these requirements are available everywhere but Qatar is the richest country on earth and the least thing they can do is provide this. I am sorry, i am not one of the guys who thanks others just for doing their job.
