Friends in Doha???

Whats really cool when you have been here a long time many of your friends return and its double fun, this just happened to us, two families returned with even more kids. With Internet we keep in touch with everyone its great. Our friendships here turn out closer than elsewhere in the world given they become like family. Many ladies I consider as my sisters and their children call me Aunti,its great. Most people think they won't be here long and then end up here for 10+ years.

not true for me, friends are friends

You can't teach experience...

i have a Tahoe :)

Take care, Vegas!

been here in doha for 7 years and i have yet to meet,go out and socialise.no social life or circle to speak of.hope to make new friends here.

My post was about someone I care about not me...

But then I got on a rant cause I was pissed off about getting run over by land Crusier...

You can't teach experience...

tallg...lol...Vegas confused himself....lol

Tallg !!! you beat me to it !!!

Now that is something I wish doesn't happen to me when I go grocery shopping etc... on the contrary, when I'm flying on work, that is a welcome sight... ;-) lol...

Adressing the original topic of the post (not the others that followed!?) - I've met some really good friends during my time in Doha, many who have left but I keep in touch with regularly, and many who I will keep in touch with when I leave.

If you have the attitude that there's no point making friends cos we all move on, then perhaps that will hold you back from making friends.

And the plus side of becoming friends with ex-pats is that they all move away to different countries, so you can have lots of holidays with free accommodation and tour guides!

baldrick ... talking about bumping into old friends ...

I can remember my friend's face when she and her husband seeing you sitting in our veranda.

This is my 8th years in Qatar, have make alot of friends during 10 yrs as a trailing spouse. It is sad when I see friend going , but we always keeping in touch that means everytime we travel anywhere in the world we always have someone to visit.

wtf ???

Vegas...I wish you had talked about running into old girlfriends....now thats completely different thing ;-)

I guess that my point behind all this...

You can't teach experience...

You can't teach experience...

I have many friends here. I've been around the Gulf region for 17+ years and keep bumping into the same old faces. My gardening supervisor from my last post in Khobar just arrived in town a couple of weeks back!

And I have respect for all here...

Anyway...I am equal human being here...

All I know

You can't teach experience...
