I, too, have been reading and observing for the last 6 months.
What I find fascinating is how expats will come to Doha's defense when someone complains about being here. The "if you don't like it, then leave" attitude,is the initial reaction. THEN, after talking for a little while, people will express their true feelings about this state: I don't really like it, but....
I think that in order to survive here, mentally, one has to believe that life is good here. I, like others, will not be here long enough to conform to the everday trials here in Doha.
Conforming to survive is not my plan. I applaud people that have been here for years and years. I truly do not know how you do it.
