Jdylan, I think it has more to do with the type of people you are exposing yourself to and not nationality.

I do believe we are all here to eke out a living and send money back home. Not many people are looking to settle here permanatly, buy a house and retire here.

Y'all need to diversify. I have friends from my country but have even better friends from all over. I honestly believe that if you think you are going to find quality friends in a bar in Qatar you will be very dissapointed. _____________________________________________________
