great topic i love it :-) grown up here and also lived in every other gcc country...a few thoughts:
- the hairfall is from the chlorine i guess; and happens to people who are not used to it...my family all have our hair and unbelievably, i start shedding when i head to my own country with its fresh sweet water lol..
- acchabaccha: buddy, yes there was a time when people left their homes unlocked and cars running...my mom left the car running once, forgot all about it and the car was still there next morning :-) that time is long gone...a guy recently posted here about how his car got stolen on C-ring road while he went to the ATM...
- omar: the new wave of qatar's residents aren't very friendly...i hate that...but you'll always get a smile and salam from me and others of my vintage...we'll also give you way on the road and wave our thanks when you do it for us..
- as for the visa and immigration scene,may god keep me blissfully ignorant of that whole world...i'll leave qatar the day i have a wife...unless there's some way i can just pay someone and have them do it for me...i sure as hell am not getting in those lines and climbing those mountains..
- shawarma :-) :-) :-) -) ....just makes me smile that word :-) :-) :-) :-) ....but yeah uae shawarmas are exponentially better than qatar...but still :-) :-) :-) :-)
overall, yes, qatar and the gcc have their issues, but for me, qatar is home, its people are my family and if and when i leave, i will leave a part of me behind and take some of qatar with me...thanks for reading if you did get this far :-)
