1st thing you ever bought in Qatar
This is for all those expats who have arrived and subsequently settled here (as opposed to those grown up here)
What was the first ever thing that you had brought in Qatar? Do you still have it? It can be anything-a simcard, a phone-card (though these are not available nowadays)..
Also, what was your 1st biggest splurge on something substantial? Bought an LED TV, Home theatre, Laptop..etc?
And for those who had the fortune of growing up here, it would be great to share with us one single thing which was unique to get while growing up here...
My parents probably bought me diapers as the "fist thing" when i arrived in this country/World
flor...it is OK...I understand...;)
Kitchen sink ...
about 'til now that we are transferring house did I saw it again.

flor...you should discard that bottle now in case u are re-using it...they are generally not good for long term re-use, I guess...:) BTW I hardly get emotional with inanimate objects except my car(s)...:)
What he forgot to mention that he was on a "Introduce a Friend" scheme , which entitled him to a free gift :O(
with discount, i offered him a pack of rubber and Lifebuoy soap bar ! :(
I hope Rizks got you the "newbie" discount :-)
I don't know if it's classified as "bought", but on my first evening Rizks took me to the Ramada Car Park and we bought into the items on show :O(
If it's the 1st thing I ever bought when I landed in Doha was a pack of rubber... I was gettin lucky that day.. or so I thought :-(
What was the first ever thing that you had brought in Qatar? - I don't think that makes sense. Are you asking us what is the 1st thing we bought in Qatar when we got here or brought into the country when we came and still have it?
confused.com :-?
First purchase - A pack of Alpen breakfast cereals and water!
Biggest purchase involved setting up my apartment, and of course a car
:(
They sell empty mineral water bottle in Manilla airport?
the empty bottle of the mineral water I bought at the departure lounge back in Manila is still with me up to now (more than 5 years old).
1.5 years now.
First thing I bought was a sandwich from Bateel in WestBay Petrol station !! And water from the nearby grocery.
;)
Sim card was bought after a month!!
A 500 ml bottle of water was my first purchase.
Will only sleep after Fajr prayers at dawn!
oo Fathimah go and sleep now its a late night now.
Still memo it was from Villagio and I had never until then ever spent so much on a bag. Was worth it though cos it lasted years!
Brain... the most imp thing.
in the open Arms Bar.
SkyFlakes.
First thing I bought was a shoes for my new job. Cell phones are not yet available at that time so not the simcard
buying two second-hand cars, one each for the Ace and my daughter. And I am stuck with the company car!
can't remember, that was 4 years ago. but probably as speedsid said, a cell phone and a sim card.
for my old laptop. 5 years here and I'm still using it!
I think, at least 80-90 percent respondents will say 'Simcard'... Gosh QTel's raking it in! ;)
Ohh, Oops sorry, got it wrong :)
Well First thing was a pack of cigarettes and Sim Card, Sim card is still with me, But pack gone :-/
In the first three years I didn't buy anything except pampers. Everything else (including the Qatari driver license) were presents from my Qatari friends.
Got here Thursday evening.
You could count currency but its essentially just swapping money! So for me was a meal on the Pearl with some friends. Infact, the most I've spent my money on is food! Or maybe a few beers for the England game the other evening!
No car right now, can see City Centre from apartment but cannot go there so not much I can spend money on right now other than food!
1st thing i bought was a driving licence.
I came here two years back, Brought currency of my country, and still having them, My friends signed it as a reminder!
