and hey, by the way speaking of cell phones.. here in qatar even calls from your land line to the mobile of your friend who lives next house is considered as a loooong distance call and get charged accordingly...
about airfares. From Toronto to London-UK (8 hours flight) you can bay a ticket for C$450 (about QR1500); from Doha to Milan (3,5-4 hours flight)it costs somehow C$1000-1300 (QR 3300-3600).
forget about houses prices and rent comparison.. just simply drop it...
