Since he isn't Qatari, you are more than welcome to visit Qatar - first,, then visit him :D Qatar is a safe place to live in, but about your plans, I'm not too sure. I am not experienced in that. I used to hear that hotel rooms weren't safe for non-married couples, but maybe things changed.

And about the comparison -- Dunlop or Bridgestone, I go for Dunlop all the way ..
