Some expats whine about being here. Why are they here then? Just for the money? If you are that unhappy then just go home, it's not worth being unhappy, life's too short. And the rest of us are sick of listening to the whining. Of course everyone has their gripes, and you can get a good laugh talking with each other about some beaurocratic problem you've encountered, but it's those 'professional' whiners I am talking about, the ones who would be unhappy ANYWHERE (including back home). If you met these people back in their home country you'd hear all sorts of whinging about trivial rubbish.
Life is what you make it wherever you are. There is plenty to do here if you join some club or society, involve yourself in sport, socialise, go to the beach etc. Most western expats can have their families here, and those I know love it as it is so safe. Personally I finb it fascinating watching Qatar slowly but surely grow out of the desert.
