nice thread you started here moejoe... perhaps the fact that you are half qatari makes your point of view all the more interesting..
my perspective is i see the glass half full...
you see the good things and the bad things... but ive learned to love the place. I even enjoy the differences it has from my home country, especially the culture, weather, people and the idiosyncracies...
thanks for starting this thread moejoe.. be well.
