I was going to be new to Qatar.
I posted here earlier. My Husband was going to work for the biggest guys here.
As a Female, White, Oxford Educated Lawyer, knew it was going to be difficult.
Came on here (QL) for help. All I saw was racism and angry, horrible people.
If this is Qatar, forget it.
We, as a couple have decided to not come to Qatar because of what we saw here.
We have now decided to go to Saudi.
Internet is not what you see and what you get..Anyway I am sure you will have lovely time with racist free country like Saudi.. You will have the freedom of expression you will allowed to drink and allowed to drive also..
Enjoy Saudi..
it's your decisions so we all respect it!
Hey I Love Tea don't care to what they wrote to you; you are free to said what you want and to go where you like. Many people really are frustrated to stay long time at the same place and would change but can't so the result is those bad feedback to you. I never been in Saudi but several colleagues are very happy there. Best wishes.

alexa that'd just be teasing right!?
bite me.....no better still, blow me.
is an oxford educated lawyer?really now?
Let's see, you are not only confused about where you live, but your profile says Interests:I am quite boring really. I love going to the gym and swimming. and your post says By Ilovetea on Tue, 21/04/2009 - 9:46pm How do you make friends in Qatar if you don't work or have kids? By the way, hate gyms, coffee mornings and I can't sew.
Maybe a few years in KSA will help sort out who you really are. ;-)

at least Qatar is safe from one less illiterate :)
Thank God for QL
Oh, I didn't read your earlier post before I've posted mine about SaudiLiving.com. You're the original patent owner..:)
Salam
nice joke.
Well, there is no SaudiLiving.com, so you’ll never find out about Saudi as much as new comers -real-time- did about life in Qatar from QL, before or even after arrival.
Good Luck
Salam
i agree with trio, alhamdllah
--------------------------------------
Thanks Qatar!!
Isn’t there plenty of racism where you and I live? At least we have the liberty to quit QL anytime, that’s an advantage. Also QL provides a good database, for new comers, in various areas.
In addition, I’ve been lucky enough to have met some lovely QLers and generally would never base my judgment, about a whole country, on a website.
Lastly, I’m also educated and here in Qatar on a post in one of the big 5 firms.I find life manageable here (but I'm Arab, so I'm not really estranged), and lots of people (whom I thought would never fit here) are not only able to adapt, but not want to leave. This country is safer than other places.

Except that she hasn't brit, she's simply sh!t stirring to get a reaction.
DON'T FEED THE TROLLS!
Hrrrrrrrrrrrrrmph ..............Hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmph..
I am sorry, but I must at this point stand up for my British compatriot..
She has decided after careful thought to forego the pleasurable life in Qatar for one in Saudi Arabia. She is entitled to that choice and we should all support her..
hmmmm...and you already concluded that Qatar only consist of people here in Qatar Living?.. :/

ok enough people she gets the point, lets not waste any more comments on her. :)

The title of the post...hmmm Sorry I dont know Oxford English!
To who ever it may concern,
If you think Qatar is not good.. Its a Mirror Image of your self.. No Country is good unless its people think it is.. So if your here to say Qatar is not good.. May be you deserve a place as good as your charachter-Any country.
Qatar over the last few years has transformed into a more outgoing muslim country..
Oxford educated and Impatient/Impulsive..Qatar living understands your need to move out..Cheers..

If you are an Oxfor Ed Lawyer then you should be good at critical thinking
You base life decisions on a website with posts by people you have never met???
You want to 'endear' yourself to QL and say you hate Doha...
Enjoy Saudi...
.
.duH......
.
.Qatar only accepts Harvard educated lawyer..
.so get lost:(
.that's all......
.
Sorry to disagree, but I spent a few years in Saudi and had a great time..
Sorry to disagree, but I spent a few years in Saudi and had a great time..
... and we love it. And yet, the majority of us are actually pretty ok with being here... otherwise we'd certainly be hauling our asses home.
Saudi.... I had to laugh out loud at that one! Good luck babe.
Stick with those rose coloured glasses dear.... Cuz its the ONLY thing thats going to save you and your sanity from being stuck in an unrelenting, sexist and miserable sand box!
I think I'll stick with the racist, demoralizing, sexist, nutjobs on this site.... they're much more fun!
Brin
you sound like a really level-headed, modest, salt-of-the-earth type. But hey-ho if we can't persuade you to stay then . . .
Good luck; I have friends (US, European and Aussie)working there and everytime they really enjoyed there.
Angelo
I wasn't aware Oxford would just let anyone in...mind boggling! :&
I wonder when (capital F) Female, (capital W) White Oxford (capital E) Educated (capital L) Lawyers decided to stop using style guides and started to write like idiots.
If only you were telling the truth and you actually were going to Saudi.
.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
[img_assist|nid=50852|title=hmm|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
I see Ilovetea hasn't returned to reply. Have the Mods removed her?
Saudi is definitely better.. None of these know it all QL types to bother you..
first impression is never the best. People here are quiet warm. Do not make haste you will love to stay here. Good luck to u wherever u plan to stay.
Woman i wont be hiring your sorry arse as my lawyer anytime soon. Who is to say you wont leave me hanging in court half way coz the other lawyer said some mean and hurtful things :p
Further more I think your Oxford Lawyer degree was pulled outta your bum, as you tend to forget what you say when thus making you look like a complete idiot.
So it is the final decision of this court, that you will spend the rest of your natural days in Saudi, being locked behind 4 walls, wearing a abaya when ever u want to go outside, without the possibility of parole :)Good luck

Used to live and work in Saudi..Its a great place. You'll enjoy it..
By the way, you can still access QL from there and kep us updated..
Then dont worry
You have us
so do join us on QL every single hour.
and you will love Qatar.
And if you want to go to KSA
then there is a Taxi waiting at Salwa Border for you just to drop you at the other side of border any time.
Weird.

Ouch, did Saudi, if you are looking for tolerence then you are barking up the wrong tree, lol especially as an educated women.
Hope you enjoy living on a compound and never leaving it.
To be honest if you are going to chat on the internets then you really need to have some thick skin anyway, you are always going to get the assholes, the haters, the ones who think you are someone else. It's normal. Ignorance is bliss with such things.
I personally don't give a rats ass about who does or doesn't like me, worst case scenario. "oh no someone doesn't like me".
Would you cry like this in a court room? Seems like for an educated lawer you are very sensitive.

Enjoy KSA!!!!!!!

Ok! have fun in Saudi...
I'm sure you would see just as "racist" a forum from Saudi people, IF they were allowed to voice their opinions lol.
sounds good .. babye
--------------------------------------
Thanks Qatar!!
I'm just wondering ;-)
SL (Saudi Living) forum sound to you & to your husband?
As an Oxford educated lawyer shouldn't you:
a) realise that an internet forum is not representative of a country
b) have a profile that doesn't directly contradict your first forum post?
"Hi, my name is Lucy and new to Doha. Here with my husband and I am hating it. Not got a job yet and live in a Villa that is miles away from anybody. No kids, so can't even do the school Mum, thing I hear so much about.
I hope this can help me to endear myself to Doha; at the moment I hate it."
if you consider some online forum a representation of the whole country then maybe Oxford isn't what it used to be.
