i don't like everything here, but overall i am happy.

but, i have a good job and i am canadian, so i would say that i am treated better than many here.

having said this, i like living here because i meet many nice people, and most of them are not qatari.

i hate the bureaucracy here too, but coming from egypt i am used to it. what i really hate is the lack of "rule of law" when it comes to Qataris. a girl in my office was rear ended by a drunk Qatari who was in the armed forces - of course the police determined that it was her fault. another friend had a work colleague who was hit by a Qatari in a round about and was told that she could accept responsibility or be deported.

i also wonder what Qatar will be like in 10-20 years. i hear by some it has gotten much better in the last 10 years, but when i see how the next generation of Qataris are being raised, it really makes me wonder. if these spoiled kids are the future, i think things will get worse, which would be a shame.
