First time i came to qatar in February 2006 for 12 days to visit my ex... i kindda liked the country... then one day I was in Toronto attending some party, got completely drunk, and remember saying to some fellow which i have met first time in my life, that i started getting bored, and need some real change in my life.. i remember him asking me what's my occupation... well.. max I could imagin him offering me a one night stand... but.. i didn't think he will take it so seriously and with such care.. :) couple of weeks later i got a call from his uncle in Kuwait, and 1 week later i got the air ticket to Kuwait, where the head office of some company was located, and i was invited to visit this company, and i was told that if i liked it, i could stay...I spent 3 weeks in Kuwait, and decided that if i stay in Gulf, i want to work in qatar, where at least my ex lives. This uncle had brunches of his company all over Middle east, so it was not a problem..I went back home, quit my job there, rented out my house and came to Gulf with two light suit cases... Well, later I have left this company, as i didn't really like my job.. i got my next real Job in Qatar without any help or "wasta", only on the competition basis, and only due to my personal and professional achievements, education and experience...
