I was once in Kuwait and noticed something interesting there compared to Qatar. All their Government Offices and Ministries has got a board (signage) on those buildings only in Arabic. Here I have noticed that even Arabic Newspapers are bearing Gregorian dates not Hijric dates.
When I visited France in 1980 it was difficult to find someone in the street to whom you can ask anything in English. Even in Restaurants the menu were in French but now that strategy is no more. Most of the guys you meet will speak good English and the Menus are in English and French.
