bwahahahahahahahaha whatever hkcapricorn...nyahahahahahaha
hi. where are u frm and thnks for the coffee will surely try to meet up.
it is dubai malls are and not is.
Indigo of course it's not ...hallleeeerrr...i didnt say that dubai malls is the best in the whole world,lol....for me if u will compare Indian malls to Dubai malls,well at least for me,i still go to dubai malls..and i still stand corrected...
Last WORD in??? think that again now :-P
I'm ALWAYS good... good at whatever I do ;-))
She is "Waiting for a guy like me, to come into her life"... :-P
No I don't agree. I have seen much better & lot biggggger malls in India than Dubai. Yes malls in Dubai are good but not as good as many other parts of the world.
only! Better include even one guy! You know who? Lol!
it will take some time to make friends or find like minded friends will definately have to find a solution so tht it becomes easier for me spend the time here in doha.as u have rightly said tht life will slowly fall in routine.
yes thts wht`i am doing. till the time i dont get used to it lol
well... we feel sorry for you...
you have to live a boring life ahead...
start counting the days...
even the street lights...
and cars passing by...
goodluck...
indigo..huh?general knowledge?sorry but no need to update for that coz ive been to India many times and been to the malls u were talking about,yeah u have nice malls but dubai mall is really far better..and that is truth..so what's the big issue about it?that's the reality,...hmmmmmm
you are lucky to have a job - no offense -
but you will like Doha eventually
@Scissorhand, update your general knowledge. India have the best and biggest malls in the world. You have no idea about the upper middle class section of India. Click the links for the biggest mall in the world, and it is one of the few XX1000s malls in India.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mall_of_India
http://www.dlf.in/dlf/wcm/connect/retailmalls/Retails/Retail/Projects/Under+Development/Mall+Of+India+-+Noida/
early years of development? When did Dubai development started as against Doha's? So just relax and what you're expecting will be there. Sooner than you think!
majority dont leave the country since they know they can save some money here.
Impedimenta thnks for ur very comforting and to the point reply. yes doha is not dubai but it is not at all EXPAT friendly.if it wants to develop and grow fast as it has planned to then it should have a welcoming attitude towards EXPATS making them comfortable as regards the rents the basic comforts and amenities. the normal tendency we have is to make some money and leave majority i knw would never want to settle here all thier life coz it does not give u the warm friendly feeling. this is my personal opinion and i dont intend to force it on others
It is but natural for someone coming here for the very first time to experience either negative or positive reactions to the place but to malign or speak rudely to the person is so unbecoming.
Doha isnt exactly Dubai but yes it has its nice places too. It is a place that will eventually grow on you. Initial teething issues will be there but its there every time one goes to any new place.
So just swim with the tide and all will be fine.
Lots of people they came from Dubai to Qatar as my selfIn the start its boring....But I wana tell you some thing secretThat this is place only where u can save your money too.....NOOO CREDIT CARDS LIFE>>>>>AS COMPARE TO DUBAI...DO U AGREE 4 THAT....
LOL Colt45! u joka! (-:
Doha-Chap, you could be right on that one... she may have gone to the local malabari supermarket in Doha Jadeed, which goes my the name Villagio :-/There is also a Walmart supermarket in Najma :-(
you sure u been to the same Villagio i go to for my weekly shopping? cuz it takes me a life time to just find a parking on weekends! lol another life time is wasted at the casheir counters in long furstrating queues!
Just coz I invited you for a free coffee, you saw the opportunity to invite your whole family, including the maid and dog :-(I say you're to blame for roping them into this :-(
or we are?
hkcapricorn. Yes we all have our limits when it comes to family. So again just take it easy and welcome to Qatar. I hope one day when you do finally get settled in Doha you might like one or two things about this place.Peace ..Its not the End but just a new Beginning for you here in Qatar. Welcome aboard!
enough of nonsense. my sense of humour is limited whn it is involving my family.THTS THE END
lol Coltey.. Every Rizks...ooops I mean dog has his Day!
That would be Mr. Rizks Kalbo!!! :-)
Coltey I guess you are also popular with the guys too?
That's why women feel "safe" with me... coz I fire blanks ;-))
Yes Coltey thank you very much for the introduction. Yes I am a specialist with married women to warn them of people like Colt45. Who may have a name of a gun, but all is does is fire blanks..:)Salah Tap Tap Taporieee.. Dhum Dhuba Key Bhaag ghey Re.. (Barking Dog Seldom Bite)
Allow me to introduce you to my very good friend - UKEngQatar. He specializes in married women like yourself.I will be out of town on work, but nonetheless, it was a pleasure chatting up with you.If you need some good Hyderabadi Biyani, please feel free to get in touch with my other good friend - Rizks Kalbo. He specializes in phrendsheep as well.See you around................................................. NOT!!!Colt45 :-)
Yes Coltey is so good with Dogs..He takes good care of Rizks :) woof woof
lol hkcapricorn.. Finally welcome to Qatar. I think you do have a good sense of humour as well as temper..:)Colty are you still there or have you done a runner back to Bombay you taporieeeeee!
We can leave them all out the door to take care of our shoes, coz at Rizku's Karak Chai and Papadum Snack Emporium, you're walking on the BEST white carpets ever :-D
hkcapricorn no worries, our Coltey can take good care of everyone especially ur Dog. He is good with Dogs ! :)
yes will get my hubby my kids nd my maid nd my dog too.
Great minds think alike... except that I wanna take her to a place where she will be subject to 5 star treatment, a.k.a. Rizku's Karak Chai and Papadum Snack Emporium :-)
hkcapricorn and Colt45 are both from Bombay..a match made in Heaven!!Oye colty I suggest you take her out to Bombay Chowpatty for the first date..:)
I'm from Bombay too, so I think we need to hook up ASAP... how about that long awaited date at Rizku's Karak Chai and Papadum Snack Emporium? :-P
i am frm bombay. mirchi mirchi mirchi.no words to describe bombay in ny field nd u shld know tht
shez84 - One does not really have to go to Gods own country as you can see it all and more out here and the guys too and it might not be a experience from the heavens above that one would like to remember.
u got my point..exactly...!!!
to be judgmental of you and YET, the titile of this thread speak of how judgmental are you after being here for a short time? And you dare compare Doha mall to Dubai mall? Grow up!
Give it time dear, give it time. Like every city they all have there good points and bad points. Doha is going through many changes and is few years behind Dubai, but i'm sure after the authorities get in decent planners (forward thinking people - with time and people management skills) things will look up.

This place is getting weird by the day due to a couple of self appointed watchmen suffering from terrible insecurity ....:)
Fri morning...Go Fri night and then you will complain it's too crowded...
well stop also being rude to your sorroundings if u want to recieve good comments from any one of us..ive been to other countries that is much busier than dubai and when i came here,i felt new to my sorroundings but i i dnt say any bad things..u just have to learn to obey..
its not tht i m scared nd cant reply. nobody can teach me a lesson.just because m in education i cant voice my opinion tht not wht i believe. i dont consider ur comments important to reply nd giv u people unnecessary importance.scissorhand or whtever keep ur unwanted lesson teachin your self.as regards shopping yes i love it nd with gods grace have enough money nd passion for tht. u dont like its ur problem. LIVE ND LET LIVE
@ OP....I can understand how you must feel after being in Dubai...:((
but shed your Dubai-state-of-mind thing. Qatar has its own unique surprises. Been to Dubai Mall and it is just how you described Villagio when we were there last January. There are a slew of things to do over here fyi. What's your other passion except shopping? :)
LOL..actually i wasnt there,...im just teaching u a lesson not to be so Judgemental to ur sourroundings..so sad that your job title is education but u dont know what respect is all about..tsk i pity u..LOL
THNKS FOR ALL UR TIME.
m so sorrry i hurt u people so really sorry I DIDNT KNW THT U WERE AT THE MALL AT THT TIME. u shld hav some sense tht morons are everywhere in work place everywhere tht doesnt mean it says for all.
u r lol in my comments bec it's true...nyahahahahaha XD
and btw if u want commentors not to be rude to you then look in the mirror,learn to respect first your MORON ENVIRONMENT as what u said...
all i can say abt ur comment is LOL.WHO CARES ABT MOD.HE OR SHE OR WHTEVER IS NOT GOD.
we understand tht u r new here but stop moaning or bitchiing here,saying bad things about mall and shoppers here is not good,besides u were not the one who experienced the same thing,we r all here in a new sorroundings,new people so learn to accept what destiny brought u here,nobody will reply u like these if u were not being bitchy...
You're fiesty, I like you already :-D
whtever nasty or rude comments nd suggestions m getting doesnt bother me. first of all these comments were not asked for i just penned down wht i felt nd its ur personal decision to giv positive or negative comments.IGNORE THTS WHT I BELIEVE.
Ok if you don't wanna meet at Villagio for coffee, do you wanna hook up at Rizku's Karak Chai and Papadum Snack Emporium?We could run the risk of food poisoning there, but hey, anything to help our good ol' pal Rizku with some extra foolus :-)
hkcapricorn - You are here now,whether u like d malls or not,u can do nothing but to change ur views and make the most of what is here in Qatar,if u like u can go back to Dubai. the choice is yours.
get ur facts right . lol
I never go to the malls. I just chill at Rizku's Karak Chai and Papadum Snack Emporium ..
It's great. Confortable wooden stools, fresh air and watching the world go by..
give her a break!!! shes new here in QL... (though i experienced it too bombarded with negative comments but i dont mind as long as am not taking it seriously,i love QL even there are some nasty people attacking me before.:) i have few buddies who can relate n thats fine with me.
so u just came here in qatar just to check the malls???...well at least it's better than in India..and btw it's come not cum..when did u cum?when u see beautiful girls and then u cum??? bwahahahahahaha XD
UK - why dont you try your charm ;)
lol Rizks...such a bully!
Rizks did you heard that famous dialogue of bollywood movie regarding respect of girls... and by the way you joined Chinese old tradition of drinking Salty Hot water.. that you are offering our new friend?
and one is bald wearing a yellow cap ! :)
finally some ones is back.Well Like I said dont compare both places just make most of what is here, I like few others above have lived in both places both have the good and bad.Now regarding the places and where everyone comes from. This is just the usual QL banter dont take it to heart.Finally do not go out with Rizks or Colty, One is a Kanjoos and the other is Casanova.
all the best
s_isale NO !
with Respect.
will manners get you girls Rizks?
I was thought never to beat around the bush, is why I'm going in for the kill :-P
LoL coltey, didnt someone tought u manners ?
quit whining like a li'l biyatch and say what time we meeting up? :-P
I totally agree with you hkcapricorn !
though m not a mallu or frm kerala i expect people shld respect each other dont be personal in ur remarks pertaining to ny country or religion.correct spelling nd grammar are not paid attention to whn we r on line chatting. so this is the wrong place to be judgemental abt the other persons skills nd capability
Don't even think of going out with that Rizks, he keeps roofies in his wallet :-(
Stop feeding the troll.
hkcapricorn is a 'she' !
Ok chillax Coltey, its you bashing with the south -now shu !
hkcapricon dont listen to them, wanna join for a cup of chilled water ? :)
missy,dont get upset or feel discriminated,this is normal here in QL,u will receives some positive and negative reactions,just dont take it seriously,we heard you and this is what u feel,its your right to feel bad,nobody is perfect.
YES MY COMPANY KNWS THT THERE IS A DEARTH OF GOOD FACES HERE THTS Y THY TRANSFERRED ME HERE AND AS FOR U GO ND HIDE UR FACE UR UGLY COZ UR WORDS REFLECT ON UR FACE
also, I think your CAPS key is stuck down :-(
Chillax woman, wanna go for coffee to Villagio? :-P
I CARE A DAMN. I SAID WHT I FELT ND M NOT WRITING TO PROVE MY ENGLISH SKILLS SO THT U PEOPLE GIVE ME SOME KIND OF MARKS.TRUTH IS BITTER THTS Y U ALL ARE REACTING.HAD NOT ASKED FOR UR OPINION.

I wonder why your company transferred you here??? Maybe they dont want to see your face anymore... Peace :))
Go Back Nowwwwwwwwww
Ya the malls in Dubai are better. I mean come on, you can go scuba diving and skiing in them! However, the sad thing is that in Dubai your life revolves around shopping and the malls, the great thing about Qatar is that your life doesn't have to revolve around a mall. Go to Souk Waqif, The Pearl, The Cultural Village, the Museum of Islamic Art, the parks, the Corniche, etc. These are all things that Dubai doesn't have!
Its the first thing we say..... Go home if you dont like it.
But its probably the most basic and fundamental answer to any complaint in any country.
If you dont like the company you work for, leave (whatever the circumstances), if you dont like the malls (dont go there), if you dont like arabic food (dont eat it), if you dont like the government (well, then certainly dont protest it but ..... then again, its not YOUR government)
The malls are a small part of Qatar.... Im still a bit amazed we are having this conversation about the malls and comparing Dubai and Qatar.
most of your point are true and we are entitled to say anything here be it good or bad even the MODS have rules n guidelines.bottomline is,nobody cares what we write here.if you cant beat them..join them....
Why whenever somebody complain about anything, the very first reply is "Go home if you don't like it"; isn't this too arrogant?
Im the first one to not bash because some of the members here immediately start talking crap about Qatar and the members on QL for any comment.
But honestly, do you really want to compare Qatar to Dubai? First of all, the demographics are VERY different (with a much higher western ratio - i.e. spending more money... than Qatar)... secondly, Villagio is actually quite nice. Mall of Emirates only has 2 things going for it... more shops and a ski slope.... the rest... its the same zombies.
What I do see more of here is family life and people shopping and coffee and whatever. Look outside your narrowed view and see Qatar for what it is. Otherwise, go home. All of us have that option.
Qatar is actually pretty cool. Find a reason to enjoy it so you dont feel like you are wasting your life away. Otherwise, sorry for you and your attitude.
hislam - I personally don't believe everything is perfect here but to complain about the malls is a little pathetic.
Colt - Hello?Village Chief - Endo Vishesham, is Shez84 there in Doha?Colt - Yeah he is, right here in Qatar LivingVillage Chief - Oh Sorry, he's our village idiot, can you send him back?
hkcapricorn76, the very first thing you will need to get used to here is you are not allowed to complain about anything.
You have to see everything here as perfect as paradise. otherwise, you will face endless bashing similar to the above. Where the typical "Go home", "what about your own country" "you are here because you are a begger as well as your entire country".
Some extra-ordinary bashings would be about how bad your English is so you didn't deserve to be here at the first place (Fluency in English is the only Qualification criteria people know here)
To conclude, it's simply take it or leave it approach while as far as I know such forums should be providing some space for moaning and groaning; it's one of the basic benefits of socialisation....!!!!
i am blessed with hi-fi one...din get frm ebay..with u mumbaikars... cabin crew girls( not frm slums)..i love em...:)
the OP have 76 comments so far,theres more to come....i wonder where she is now....
Colt and shez84 you both are kindly requested to 'get a room' at Ramada ! :)
Why don't you check up on eBay and see if they have a "life" for sale?? :-P
consider how shakey the Dubai economy is - they rely on finance and tourism and neither are looking too hot right now. At least Qatar has financial stability behind it and you aren't as worried about losing your job - surely that is the most important thing?
the last time I checked, you asked me what I meant when I said that "the mallu's are something eh?"... so if you were not asking, wtf were you doing sassy?
u are a thunderbolt...not colt...:)
malls changed to mallu?
chill colt...everyone knows to use abusive language..i dnt need your explanation....
You didn't see that, nor will you... it's exclusively for "dah laydies" :-P
I don't owe you an explanation, you're an effin douchebag (if you even know what that means)... oh! Did I get your knickers in a twist with that comment ya freakin panzy? :-))
yes...either she or he is here for shopping purpose only....ufff...lol
lol to coltys Public parts..bloody exhibitionist..:)
mallus are smthn ehhh??....what did u mean??...r u sick insulting same nationality???
Go back to Dubai with your attitude
I don't have a private part, it's all public :-(
i will give you a lungi to cover your private part...slumdog...:)...
where ever did I say I don't like mallu's??? If you actually took the time out to read carefully, you'd know...I love Pajju - who doesn't??? :-P
Lol UKEng !
Thank You, Come again (head shaking)!!! :-P
I think he calling you a Slum Doggie style..:)
Thousand apologies Sir Colt45, (saying with a shakey head)
you calling me a slumdog? :-/Well, if that makes you happy, then ok I'm a slumdog... but at least I'm worth every God damn paisa ;-)
are you guyz talking about some Poori's here ? :(
dnt go to gods own country if u dnt like mallus..they will welcome u by lifting those lungi...have a gr8 time guys...:D
If you dont like it, stay away with it..... I wonder what life style you have in dubai...
It's tap tap tap tapori... not thaporee :-P
wow...slumdog....:)...i like them...:))
Cotly you mean a thaporee style?
Planet Earth... a.k.a. Bombay... they don't make them any better than us ;-)
where are u from colt???? maybe i will find something for u....:)
I know, I've seen it... them jumping in the river with their white lungi's and all that... but I was just talking about them mallu's in different context :-)
Colty you plonker its performed by some Kiwis in Lungis..:)
That vid is hilarious... boy! those mallu's are something eh? :-P
shez84 I was inspired by the youtube video called Land of Lungi, watch it f you get a chance.lol Colty sssh now don't tell Rizks may be he might want to join me too..:)
@ UKENGqatar..enjoy God's own country...you will surely see it why it is called so..:)...btw lungi is becoming a fashion in europe..:)
is being sponsored by his very dear friend Pajju :-)
Look at the positive side. Boring Malls mean less time in Malls, means less spending and more savings.Which means you can save and fly to more exotic places and do your shopping there as well as have a holiday! My next vacation is in Kerala Gods own Country and the land of Lungi..:)
of coz the malls in Doha are not like in DXB.The outlets are less here...but you must get used to it as you were forced to move...welcome to this boring land...:)
How about you? :-P
Sounds to me like you arrived before 4pm... get there around 6 and you can't move there are so many people! Then you have the issue of trying to park (horrendous) and people not looking where they're going and just walking in to you....
Yes.... malls in Qatar suck. Unfortunately there's not a lot of choice! Grin and bear it, or make your own entertainment.
I think she is just in phase of transition. Yes Dubai has the limelight but don't compare too different places on the same scale. There are things here that you would not be able to do Dubai.Consider yourself lucky that they sent you to Qatar and not KSA..:)
better go home because you have no life here.Or better yet, try the public parks, maybe it will suit your taste! Or go to the Corniche and just stroll there, maybe you'll feel better. Good morning to you!
Be grateful that you will have more time on your hand now to spend with your family rather than wasting time in Malls ..window shopping..:)
How about the malls and environment in India?
ooppsss!
NO. IT'S MY KEYBOARD THAT PISSED ME OFF.
did she pissed u off and ur caps on???
she miss her Dubai lifestyle... i cant wait others to comment...katchinggggg!!!
DUBAI IS DUBAI AND QATAR IS QATAR BUT SHE IS INDIAN. MAYBE IT IS BETTER IF SHE STAY IN HER COUNTRY....
YOU ARE FORCED TO "CUM" HERE? DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE MEANING OF CUM? HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU CUM? PERVERT....POOR GIRL....
SHE WANTS TO ABBREVIATE THE WORD INTO SOMETHING? I DON'T THINK SO.HER JOB TITLE IS EDUCATION. SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE FLUENT ABOUT THAT.
hey, most most of us "cum" to shopping malls to shop not to count how many people there are or see how zombie like they are.
but hey, its your lifestyle...
you seem to be a whiner....
lol! too early for that,maybe he wants to abbreviate the word into something....
you will get use to it....as u have said a moron environment.pity you,you were forced to come here as too many people wants to work here in Qatar but hey,its your life.Welcome to the real world...lol!
thats all.
