Hello everyone,

There is always so much Qatar bashing going on that I thought it might be nice to start a thread that asks what people like about Qatar, or what is good about Qatar. Ok Let me start this off

1. If I forget my coffee in the car in the morning going to work, its even hotter when I get back at 3pm.

2. I can speed past the police on the road to Al Khor and they never chase me.

3. Tax Free!!!!

4. Good wages and lots of time off work.

Ok now its your turn!.

Have FUN

rishimba, "LA's fine, but it ain't home." I think that's how Neil Diamond continues in his song. Right?

The winters are very pleasant.

Driving to work is much more exhilarating than playing a racing video game.
