My good experience
Hello,
Would like to share my good experience which reflects how nice people here are.
Last saturday I went to a restaurant in the shopping area opposite to Ramada hotel for dinner. When I left I forgot to bring my bag, which had my diary (very important) & some money. I became aware of it only during mid-night. Felling depressed, I decided to go back to the restaurant, try my luck and see if the bag is found. I don't care if the money is gone, but I wish my diary back. Last night I went back to the restaurant, & the whole bag was found! My diary and money were all there. I felt so grateful.
I would like to thank that restaurant (named like 'Crepees') for this. This is so good. If it happened in HK, it's almost definitely sure that the bag would have disappeared.
Thanks.

Yeah, it's such a relief to go somewhere where people, for the most part, still respect one another's possessions, and theft is abhorred.
Typical American paranoia, but in the usual stock conversation, people asked me why I'd go to a dangerous country (that usual grouping stereotype about all the Middle East being a war zone or a terrorist zone, etc.). I told them that frankly I felt safer in Doha than I did when I had to live in Tucson, AZ for 9 months while finishing school.
Now *that* place was a ghetto-ey drive-by shooting waiting to happen...
Men here gawk at you if you're a woman, which drives me crazy. But at least it's just gawking, that's all. Nothing else. I got the same treatment in Japan, another relatively safe country-- let's staring at the foreigner. And, yeah, it drove me crazy there too.
You have to be careful anywhere you go. I'll lock my car, and I lock my house, and I put valuables and money and such away. But at least I am fairly confident that someone isn't going to run up behind me and try to snatch my handbag in the grocery store (which happened in Tucson once).
But it was still great to hear that you had a good experience with your stuff being returned.
false sense of security ... low crime doesn't mean no crime ...
and yes i do agree Qatar is relatively safe compare to other places.
you can leave car unlocked, villa open, and most likely nothing will desappear...
wen people say good things about others. most of the peple say only their bad experiences! and bad news travels fater than god news
