the best thread in a long time..no whining..no hating..no anti-muslim/US/Keralite hypocrite lowlives..just everyone sharing what they love about Qatar; what the OP has been able to see and feel is the old story book Arabian magical experience..an experience that doesn't account for practicalities like jobs/religious intolerance/human rights/exit permits..just the raw core feel of Arabia and its ways. I have lived in each GCC country and each was magical in its own way, even Saudi..but yes Qatar is where my heart is and I truly love this country regardless of the flashing Land Cruisers and needing an NOC/exit permit..i'm not even a 'pampered American' but just watching the sunset on dune flanked highways or driving along a deserted Corniche alone is enough to keep me here lol
