please explain yourself, why is it a bad idea?? Just curious-not that you'll change my mind...im already in the process of moving:)

bestinbusiness-of course i wont forget the friend thing **wink....

DaRude: i am definitely NOT a shopaholic...if anything, i HATE shopping and just bringing 2 suitcases and 2 boxes w/me anyway, i dont plan on buying my clothes from qatar, as i hear its expensive and i already have everything i need (elhamdulillah).
For the rest, thanks for the encouragement. At the end of the day, you guys are right, i want to try something new, and working for Al-Jazeera isn't a bad thing, ya3ni;) plus, im an american citizen and i can come back and find something in the states, if i should change my mind:)....
