What are Parking Lots for?
I'm a bit confused today because I always thought that parking lots were for parking cars, or at the most skate boarding, but today I found out that they are also for sunbathing in while wearing a bikini. Or at least that's what the girl laying out in the parking lot next to Lulu Center thought.
I mean, I'm sorry, I'm usually the first person to say do what you want, but laying out in your bikini in a busy parking lot with labourers and women in hijab and abaya walking by you DURING RAMADAN is the most disrespectful thing I have ever witnessed in Qatar.
Is there anyone here who thinks that was in anyway appropriate?
Probably yeah, I couldn't be bothered to read the thread lest I have to read all the tedious posts from Darude, so apologies if you already said that. I just remembered this thread and the conversation I had about it with a colleague.
Wait aviduser, are you actually saying that what I said was true??

The person involved was NOT FROM AL JAZEERA ENGLISH
I think there was some people thinking she might have been because it was near our accommodation.
Well she was spotted by someone from work and its a small place and she was NOT from here.
We know MUCH better than to do that sort of thing.
That is some funny crap....
Jauntie...who's your drug dealer man..That stuff seems to be workin off the hook.
I decided to believe the spyware, because my puter worked a lot better after I cleared it of Gulf Times as one of my 'favourites'!
I never noticed that. hmm
I once knew a bloke, retired early as a lawyer - was a bit of a lush - and during the winter during the hours when the pubs were closed he used to go to the public library, where it was warm, to read, and in the summer he hung around the local Iceland store until the pub opened again lol
Even better would be to write to the spyware co. instead of the paper ;D
The outside temp during August reaches 50C...
haha.. Ladies check this out...Gypsy watchya think now?

A ‘chilling’ experience
Dear Sir,
One comes across many strange sights in town nowadays but none so strange as the one I saw yesterday.
In a supermarket, browsing along the fridges I came across a Western woman sitting with her rear end into the fridge. How unhygienic. Yoghurt anyone? No thanks, I’ll pass.

m searching archives...gime 10
since I had never done a 'letter to the editor' before I didn't know what to expect.
guess I do now ;D
I wasn't looking for the article! Just saying that since I downloaded new spyware it picked up Gulf Times as riddled with ad and spy stuff even a little virus! so I stopped opening it on line.
I even wrote to them about it! No reply though :P
Hold on both you technologically challenged ladies..How come you are on internet? M lookin for it
I didn't realise until I got a spyware thing.
Reported in Gulf Times.. Do a google on it.. Saw it in "letters to editor"/op section....
My all time fav. still remains the report of a Brit lady with her posterior in a frozen section of a supermarket....Beats all
am just out to say that am following this discussion and keeping quiet just enjoying the match of the field.

The little *clique* wants to know why Gypsy aka Doha Girl (I don’t want to play on QL anymore and am going to start my own site) would lie? Hello people! *ATTENTION*, which you have all given her. Alexa and Corn follow you around like lost little puppies, sticking up for you any chance they get. For you to believe such a story makes you just as pathetic as she is- next thing you know- you’ll be bowing down for the royal princess and flapping those lips just like her.
Its in Gyspy nature to make up lies- one minute she knows heaps of staff at aljazeera- then for the record doesn’t. Well which is it?--- Keep those lips flapping and endless ravings going as you’re highly amusing and keep so many of us entertained. If your like this in your 20’s will be exciting to see that mouth at 50-LMAO-Will be like Owens ma on throw mamma off the train-LMOA------Make sure you make regular visits on here!!!!!!
I am bored DG, what’s your excuse?
Now attack------ get that mouth going gypsy and friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait for this :D :D :p :p

It's a response. we're not in some 'yo mama' battle... are we?
People? Is there someone else on the forum peddling this BS about having seen some bird in a bikini sun-worshipping in a parking lot?
Just so you know though, I believed it all... till you said you came back later and found her gone. I don't believe she was gone at all... you probably drove back to the wrong parking lot.
LMAO!
Accusing people of flying off the handle is really the only comback you have isn't it.
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
There's nothing wrong with posting something funny. In fact, so long as you're not causing offence, there's nothing wrong even with posting absolute rubbish and showing off your creative side. In primary school we used to call it composition. Great fun! In even the mundane scheme of things though, I'm sure nobody really cares whether you really saw something or not,... me included.
I just don't believe your story. And in these my idle moments, I've decided to say so. Watching your feathers fly is unexpected, if amusing in a distant but vaguely compelling kind of way. Of course, feel free to ignore me.
If I'm pathetic in saying I don't believe you, what's your verdict on you for responding??
How dare you Azzy! I never hijack :P
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
Imagine my shock as a mother when I saw my daughter. I left a thin, little girl of 14 and when I came back after a year, my daughter is wearing slim fit shirt that emphasized her breast (which I think was too big for her age of 15 at that time) and shows off her belly button. And the pants she wears shows her undies when she bends or moves....
Iam to go home next year on her 17th birthday...just hope and praying she won't get those tatooes and body piercing that teeners are crazy about...
Sorry, gypsy...diudn't mean to hijack the thread..:-P
lol I like them too Azzy, but I don't think there is anything "feminist" about them.
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
because I see women so confident about themselves and their bodies. Just wish I had their confidence...hehehehe
Ya Alexa I forgot about my fan club :P
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
I really don't see a girl sunbathing in a parking lot as progress. If it is, I think it's the wrong kind. Kind of like thinking miniskirts are the epitomy of feminism.

Come on, PM...let's look for some topic for others to get hopping and popping...weeeeeeheheeeheee
and the Fridays when I can see women and men in their abayas and toubs along corniche...
Nowadays, all I see is constructions and demolitions of old landmarks of the old Doha :-(
I also gave mine. I just said that I don't believe Gypsy would make up stories like that. If you think it's silly/ludicrous...so be it.
I also believe and agree with you that Qatar is going thru fast changes. Though I do like and miss the Qatar I knew when I came here 2 and a half years ago.
Thank you PM, that means a lot considering you have every right to doubt me to. Thanks :)
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
I was reading the last page and I thought the guys (boys)were taunting her story. I didn't know about you or Gypsy having a discussion somewhere here.
Maybe, I should go back and read the first page to the last....now I'm lost :-(
hope there's a hunk of a guy this time...whehehehehe
Don't worry about it Azzy, there just some sad people who don't know when to let go of a grudge.
Well just look up near that wall next time you're there, although she'd have to be one gusty broad to do it again.:P
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
Knowing Gypsy for quite a while and I know she won't post something that's CR*P...
If she says so, then it is...why would she make up stories?
Sad thing....I was in that area that time you said it happened but I didn't get the chance to see that "naughty mermaid out of water"...lol
You guys are really quite pathetic. I saw something funny and I posted it. Surely you have someone else to hound and get your jollies off of.
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
... with a grain of truth?
I'm not exactly sure why people wouldn't believe me? What would be the point of posting this if it wasn't true?
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
..well now you said that, I definitely believe you cos you've totally dispelled any doubts I might have had. The story is suddenly not only plausible, but imminently likely!
I go to these little midde of nowhere beaches. Never seen a local there, or a labourer, would run if I saw either.
The officer was at the roundabout, more then 20 feet away and was directing traffic. When we drove by again 20 minutes later she was gone. For all I know he did see her and arrest her.
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
..but a bikini-clad woman just lying there in a parking lot(!!), sunbathing (!!) feet away from an awake, visually unimpared officer of the law (!!)... during Ramadan??!!
N'ukka please!
wait ,wait, wait you will see a lot of new things in our lovely Qatar
No, seriously... I don't believe this story for a second.
A woman in a bikini in the middle of Ramadan sunbathing in a parking lot?
A policeman 'just 20 feet away', sees a semi-naked woman sunbathing and does nothing??
Raaabbish!
Wanna get laid? Crawl up a chicken's bum and wait.
Ballzizm.
namabiru, speaking of stereotypes, don't you think your comment above about a police person and a camel is a bit of a stereotype?
_______________________________________________________
Love is the answer...
Yeah, Oryx, you hit the nail on the head with the 'tarnishes all Western ladies' bit. One silly bint who had no brains where she came from comes and acts stupid, then it's easy to create general sweeping stereotypes regarding *all* the other similar-looking women.
It's Japan, all over again. Japanese do A, so it must be that people in all other countries do B. *rolls eyes*
this was in some family picnic area on a friday... like going to Al Bidda park on the corniche.
I have only been to a hotel beach in swim wear.
I go to the beach in Al Khor in my bikini all the time.
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
That is near where I live! We have loads of building... why on earth someone would want to do that and the disrespect it shows... it also so tarnishes all us western ladies...
i hope she gets prosecuted.
One morning a student of mine came in upset because her picnic at al khor beach had been ruined... a western couple had turned up and the girl had a bikini on and all the labourers started coming to the beach etc etc.
Sorry it is our business... we live here, a lot of us respect where we live and we dont like others giving us a bad name.
Certain things are 'everyone's business' because we are a community.
If I saw a woman getting hit in the street - I would not 'mind my own business'.
some practices are not socially acceptable.
Yes, yes you do. That's part of the new Qatar Crackdown on Dodgy Expats Law which was recently passed. So naturally it will be enforced spottily, and only when the policeperson in question is having a bad day, or his camel lost at the big race over the weekend, or something like that.
Can't a person say anything nowadays ? So whatever I say I have to have photos, complete documentary, exact time of incidence, and even finger prints ?? geez!
Ladies pleae dont take pain in looking out for her again........I am sure half of Doha is looking for her by now.........these media people!!!Now they r gonna give a name to her and for that u would have to read their magazine.Right Gypsy:D
lol! true true jauntie!
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
who said they were interested in her face?
Actually if I had taken a photo I wouldn't have posted it. Writing about is one thing, actually showing the girls face is another.
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
gotta love it.
Oh and Alexa? I can't tell you how relieved I am that it was only mud and not the (don't let QTel ban us) that you expected to hit the fan!
So do let us know if the chick turns up again. This time take a photo. It's just a bit inconceivable to me, to do something like that. If you wouldn't do that back home (I sure wouldn't), why would you possibly go somewhere else and act like that?
I'm the old-fashioned one, though, who feels kids shouldn't be permitted to emit high-pitched shrieks for their sheer enjoyment in public venues. So perhaps I'm just behind on the fads.
There she goes with her crazy imagination again! Gypsy u really need help! It's all in ur head *cucko cucko*
But Corne, the world is round!!!! and I swear there are such things as bikinis! lol.
Yes Alexa, they have gone blah blah blah ;)
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
Ah yes sarcasm...music to my ears...continue ladies!
Seriously Gypsy u need to stop making things up...next thing u'll be telling us the Earth is round!!
Well don't expect me to toss any. I "made the story up" I've done my part. :P
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
what is it you think you will be wading through in the forum that you will need your wellies????
Usually that stuff just hits the fan, doesn't stay on the ground long enough to wade through it :D
Careful Alexa, people will think you're making that up. :P There are no such things as women, parking lots or bikinis. I made it all up.
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
Seriously though why would Gypsy make up a story like that ? She gets enough attention without making up stories :P Besides the story is too crazy to be made up!
I agree with you...but I admit that sunbathing, on a bikini in a parking lot is way too weird even for me...surely she could have gone to a more appropiate place.
Oh wait a second...there are not many appropiate places in Doha where a girl can lay on a bikini and sunbath...
Sad, this would never have happened if they never closed the Palm tree island.
Hope the Qatari authorities learn their lesson...this is, reopen the PTI or all western blonde (and brunette) women in Doha will end up laying half naked in parking lots under the sun.
The very fact that people think that I would make up a story about a girl sunbathing in a parking lot proves how absolutely outrageous it is. Cheers Renee for proving my point. :D
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
We are not oblivious to the truth Renee. I personally think Gypsy is full of it but she's amusing. let her rant! i don't believe she saw a girl in a bikini in the parking but she managed to make a thread of 3 pages over it and good for her!
and rather arousing! :P

Thanks Renee & i am agree with both of u.
Quite right!
Judge not! that you be not judged!
Just stating the truth which so many are oblivious to.
Judge not! that you be not judged!
she thrives attention-and lucky for her has her little *clique* on QL sticking up for her. One minute the thread is funny the next serious, well which is it? Your full of sh&*, making up stories just to get attention is really sad. I guess you have your little *clique* who believes this nonsense, so that make you feel special :D-what man wants a loud mouth woman who never knows when to zip it-like a nagging old woman who goes on and on, it's like verbal diarrhea.
Doha Girl- Qatar Living is boring and I'm going to start my own site. Then she complains about others complaining about QL. Well which is it? Then she goes to us in Qatar blah blah, we deny her entry and all of a sudden blah blah is crap even though she tried to join the site. That marriage thread- no wonder why your so paranoid- who in their wildest dreams would want to marry a smart ass, know it all, (deleted by mods - stop calling other poster names will you????) like you. You never know when to keep that trap shut. I'm sure you will respond to this, we are waiting in anticipation. You really do need to get a life, bringing up old threads *been there done that* proves it.
Before you throw in our faces how bored we are in blah blah, who is the one brings up old threads and complains how boring QL has been lately.
what ever she was doing i think this non of your business :), get a life :P
I always live by the rule of "Worry about yourself." Who was she hurting by laying out in the sun? Was she a danger from the construction site? That's her problem. Will people get offended, yes, but only because they choose to be. Not everyone in the world is of the same religion. Why can't people go about their lives and worship the way they want, without expecting everyone to adhere to their "rules"? Why don't the U.S. force everyone to practice Christianity? After all that's what it was founded on.
it seems that the area around Lulu will become the red light district. That is good news for the bachelors and the landlords of the buildings around that area.
It's not about her looking good, it's that something interesting happened to u and not the rest of them :P
Meh, she wasn't very good looking Corne, no one should be jealous. :P
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
LOL u guys are hilarious. I think everyone's just jealous cause Gypsy got to see the bikini girl and u didn't :P
But seriously I bet if any of us saw that, we would post on QL right away! I mean it's not everyday something that interesting happens.And yes it is interesting cause it's funny and stupid :P
Camera phone !!!!!!!! A picture would've given us like 10 pages of mindless posts out here also a chance to show us what we missed :P
Somehow u have all the luck for catching all the stupidity we get out here... :)
Oh and for the record, I don't actually know many people from AJ, and I defintely don't have anything against them. :P
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
Thank you Alexa, I thought it was funny to, that's why I posted it. Some people just can't remove those sticks from their nether regions.
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
Exactly, if this girl isn't from AJ and just happened to be sunbathing in front of the AJ apartments were many single girls live, then there is a really good possibilty that she could get the innocent girls in that building in a lot of trouble. Especially, if like DG says, they're are already rumours that they are sunbathing topless on the roof.
And this is more then just cultural sensitivity, what she was doing was technically illegal, she could have been arrested or even worse attacked by a man in the area.
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
You don't even know for a fact that she was from Al Jazeera or from those buildings. Your a troublemaker.
I'm out of this thread, prefer the *chit chat* on QL...shame on me for not wanting to "think" on QL..hehehe..cya
'Our freedom is but a light that breaks through from another world'
I hope someone does take this to the Al Jazeera management Hummer, what she was doing was dangerous, inappropriate and disrespectful. If she wants to behave like that she probably shouldn't be here.
Qalove, I posted this cause I thought it was shocking and funny, I honestly don't know how she thought it was appropriate. My morals or what have you aren't offended, my pride as a blonde Western woman was, this girl is an idiot and deserves to be told so.
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
And I am recommending whoever thinks she was from Al Jazeera he/she can straight go to Al Jazeera and complain. There they will let you know everything!
Even they will suggest you (If she is from Al Jazeera) you must have seen her face! So, they will be happy to take you inside for showing them her picture from the staff profiles!
Your first comment is wrong. Plenty of them live in apartments. In fact the majority of them do. Don't know where you got that info from.
'Our freedom is but a light that breaks through from another world'
As I know:
1. Al Jazeera TV. is not providing Apartments for their western staff! If they are going to do so, they will give them a villa or a portion of a villa in Al Jazeera Compounds!
2.Consuming that there is a western living in Aljazeera apartments, there is also a security guard who keeps watching around always! If they see it they are going to kick that person out of the TV!
So! I am going to say she might be one of the thousands of Europeans or Westerns living in that area!
Have you had a falling out with people from the AJE buildings? Why else would you want to cause trouble for the single females there?
No, AJE doesn't just employ the Brits and Aussies, and NO they are not all single in those buildings.
All it will take Gypsy dear is for ONE senior member of AJE to read this, which will cause controversy around the building making life more difficult for the female staff. Or is this your aim?? It may be funny for you, but potentially many females (who already have a hard enough time here)will be subjected to more grief- and here I was thinking that you knew first hand how hard it is for single women living in Qatar.
Oh and the thought that you know people in those buildings makes me feel ill!! It's all in good humor right??
'Our freedom is but a light that breaks through from another world'
My Islamic values wouldn't be offended if I saw this girl and I don't think yours should, gypsy. Are you so totally qatarized that a sight of a girl in a bikini sends you into a frenzy? And so you would have stopped the car and told her what? Obviously, sunbathing in a bikini in the parking is not very smart, but first of all I don't believe for a moment that you actually saw what you say you saw, and second even if she was there, that was frankly none of your business, you not being a law enforcement of any kind. And I don't see why you are still going on about it. Get a life.
Szafer....uh, ya. Wrong thread I think.
qalove, I've seen girls (including myself) in bikinis before of course, however I've been living in this country for 2 years now and my coworker for 12, and neither of us have ever seen such a blatent disrespect for the values of this country. Not only that, but she was doing this next to a construction site, which means she was putting herself in a lot of danger.
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
What I don't get is why Gypsy got all worked up about it. Gypsy, are you local? Are you fasting? Haven't you ever seen a girl in a swimsuit? What's it to you? I would understand if some of the Muslim people here got offended, but you? Really, there is no need for you to get so shocked and take offense.
well someone has to make this place a lot interesting

Look around u, there are at least two very popular animals among us, just take an example of a dog/Cat vs Goat/sheep, lets talk about Dog/Cat First: these animals are the most beloved animals by human on our planet; 96% off the population Don't eat Dogs/Cats instead 50% raise them and take good care of them. Their Birth ratio is much higher than a Goat/Sheep, they even live longer than Sheep/Goat, in the other hand, 80% of our population eat Goat/Sheep, 19% raise or care about them, but their numbers are growing everyday, whereas, despite of all love and care, dog/cat won't grow like Goat/Sheep, dog only Gather, when they need to attack their opponents, despite of their brutal and deadly act against their opponents, human love them very much, and ignore their Nature to Kill... Goat/Sheep always lives together in a CLAN under Leadership, they even jump from one end to the other after their Leader, there will be lot i can add here the reason of this example is that this is the way of differentiating between Right & Wrong, Good & Bad, Halal & Haram, Halal things, Right things, and Good things always Lives Togather & Longer, Never stays apart, eventhough u kill them, their number grows, higher everyday, Haram is Haram, we haven't seen their Clan, it dosen't matter how u take care and preserve them, U can not succeed ever, to have them sit down on one ground, eventhough all of the universe make one Coalision Force under One Flag, when they have fillfilled their stomatch after brutally snatching their opponents, they will disburse again, till further ATTACK.

I stored these informations; and went to my neighbour's house, where, infront of an Idol a lady was telling my friend to worship Bhagwan, and explaining him about the religion, i stored those Informatin as well, during my school i visited Churches and other sacrad places of different religions, where i found almost similar teachings, till to date I am storing all the Informations of other belivers and non belivers of faith from this universe. trying to find common ground and their solutions, the only reason I'm still associated with my childhood believes because, whenever i'm in trouble and any question rises from anyfaith/beliver my believe answers them all,... up to the extent to the satisfation of the Questoner, Since the Questioner is Satisfied from the answers given by my faith, therefore, I'm still satisfied with my Believes, and found no ground to swith.
not in her sound mind. And yes it is very INAPPROPRIATE!
Cheers!

Well it sure was a jaw dropping scene to have gotten Gypsy in that state.
Alrite, I mite have done a little boo boo here, we actually ended up inquiring at Hypermarket instead of the "Center". I just re-read Gypsy's lines. Wifey would kick my arse, when she gets back from the flight. :(

Yeah entertaining indeed! We managed like 3 pages in matter of half few hours, that too on a Thursday evening.
You've gotta give full marks to her though for being so creative/innovative.
Wifey thought we were freaked out to imagine such a thing, let alone ask the Lulu guys if it did happen. LOL

She was in the big parking lot next to LuLu Center, nearer to the apartments behind the Grand Regency. :P You wouldn't actually have been able to see her from Lulu, she was closer to the Regency.

Oh c'mon Gypsy! You've been saying a lot lately that QL is boring and there's nothing to spicy to talk in here. Maybe thats one reason why.
I was at the Lulu few hours back and a friend of mine knows head of security at there. He says there's no report of such an incident happening today or ever. My friend and I had a tough time keeping a straight face while asking this to the head of security LOL

Imablue I know lots of AJ people who live in those apartments. All the singles live there.
Frog, who stuck the stick up your butt? This is a forum, I'm starting conversations, not paradeing around in a bikini. Just because you can't start a decent topic doesn't mean you have to be jealous of mine.

No wonder Bahrain is imposing rules to kick out the expats in 6 year rotation basis

oh, it's appropriate!!!
SS, must have been someone from Preston then!!! :) I don't know the difference between all the northern accents but having lived in London for several years when my brother was receiving medical treatment there I know the difference between northern and southern accents.

thanks for the response, I was not trying to needle, but genuinely trying to get to the truth.
Like you, I believe that life is too short for us NOT to say what we think when we are put in positions like this.
If we don't speak out, then we are effectively supporting the behaviour that we see (as Cardinal Richelue said some 300 years ago, I believe).
SS
no you're right Silversurfer, shouldn't have written it that way...was not self-editing what I was thinking as I was typing! Have now edited that part...

North of England = Scouse, Manc, Bratfod, Leets, Geordie, Berwick, Cumbria, Lancashire, etc, etc?
Are you able to tell the diff. b/w the very many accents we have in UK??
In Preston, we go t' bloody supermarket in't bikini an' think nowt of it!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, bajesus, I'm not one to lose my cool in public so I very politely asked her to consider my point of view. Did get a little round of applause from a few bystanders nearby after I asked her to do this.
Thing is, I have lived in western countries and was always careful to live within the cultural norms there. Pity she did not feel the same way. Hopefully I gave her something to think about. You can't win em all, eh, but you can try! _______________________________________________________

I wasn't the one who mentioned that "I'm not one to throw my position and status around".
Valid question, I hope.
Anyway, whatchadoin' here - you should be planning your Barnes & Noble list!!
Silversurfer, the one I spoke to in the supermarket had a British north of England accent. And she had brown hair, not blonde!______________________________________________________
Love is the answer...
Imablue, you are right, of course.
However a friend of mine who lives in one of these aforementioned apartments was the one who told me there had been complaints due to topless sunbathing on the rooftop there. I made that assumption that she also lives there.
We should be thankful for small mercies at least...I don't think she was topless in the parking lot :)_______________________________________________________
Love is the answer...
DG, do you have position and status? What is it, please?
DG, at last, can we throw some light on where the bikini blonde bombshell bather was from?
What was your take on her accent?
I admire you, I envy you!!
You have generated the best post in QL since the Q 'sheik' tried to pull weight on the Rome to London flight in Biz. Class, many moons ago.
If ONLY you had got a photo!!
lol '' got the biggest mouthful of abuse back. Lovely..... Was that the end of the story? incredible ??

Gypsy, do have connections at AJ and will pass this on.

Well Frog, if I had seen it I would definitely have had a polite but firm conversation with the clueless one. Or if I had been feeling mean would have called the police to have her arrested for nudity (bikini wearing in parking lots here is classed as nudity)...:)
Point to note...a week or so ago I was in a supermarket and a woman was sniffing the oranges in the produce section wearing more or less a bikini. I did have a polite word about cultural awareness and got the biggest mouthful of abuse back. Lovely!_______________________________________________________
Love is the answer...
I'm sorry but if you were enough aware culturallly u would have never posted such topics '' God's supposed religion'' , '' Does God exist'' and '' Is Marriage importnat'' . Questioning the fundamentals of our culture is a bit shocking and provoking too .

DG do you have any connections at AJ, maybe you could give a call and have them educate their employees on cultural awareness. hmmm?

I'm now curious about one thing :) Diamon what would u have done in such a case? stay passive or ........ I don't think Love is the answer to such a thing :d
[img_assist|nid=38314|title=Crazy Frog|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=180|height=179]

I had heard that there were sunbathers on the roof of those AJ apartments but didn't realise that they had graduated to the parking lot.
That would be a zero on the cultural awareness then.
Anyway, who in their right mind would find it that a good place to sunbathe...a parking lot???
_______________________________________________________

Roof is one thing. Parking lot is entirely another. I'm sorry I wouldn't do that in Canada, much less here in the ME during RAMADAN!!!

I wish I had one, then I would act like a Qatari LOL. I have all the ingredients for that except the Landcruiser and the accent :D

I don't know. I honestly would like to hear peoples opinions on what I should have done, had I been in a position to stop and say something to her. I mean, What was she thinking???
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
Do you??
Just a Question... a stupid one : Do you have a Landcruiser ? :D

I would have parked over her. Maybe then she'd take the hint!!
went temporarily insane and thought she was on a beach on the Algarve!! lol

Why was she not led away with three policemen's helmets covering her sensitive regions?
Could she not have been fined QR 300 for causing a traffic accident?
Or was this OBL at work again, with his contacts in Al-Jazeera?
One day, the truth will come out.
Bajesus what would u have done ?

I would have caused a major scene. Who does she think she is?
Maybe Jeremy Beadle has hit the big Q??
Think the lady is going sort of market research on public reaction for such things.
Gypsy topic reminds me of Crepaway slogan "come as you are" LOL
where do you usually go?
I would like to see what you see :D
QL is buzzing tonight! Nothing happenin' downtown?
Yeah - she was reading the Marhaba section on "Do's and Don'ts" :)
well at least she was reading. Was it a 'quality' book? Maybe this hot chick has some redeeming characteristics??!!
That's the craziest thing ever. Just lying on the pavement with a towel? I'm with qatarisun, let's give her the benefit of the doubt and say it was a bet... :)
May be we should get some one to bet with her again! And this time - advertise in QL before so that she gets an audience!
AR.

Amigo, she was lying on a towel, in the middle of the parking lot. Reading a book in her bikini.

i am a big fan of short srirt and open shoulders.. but Qatar has changed me.. you have to respect the place where you live... I noticed lately a lot of girls are wearing extremly short skirt, or their tops are too open... but to be in bikini in the middle of town??? Someone, who hired her, should have explained to her what is appropriate and what is not in this country...
to sun bath in the parking bay
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
challenge her for what?? who can take off more??

darude must have challenged her
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
he was spitting on the car next to him..but one of those big ugly hairball spits...you know, the kind...
Bikini... sunbathing.... gypsey... wat were we saying about cats? ;-)
What's gobbing?
Was she in her car or what? I mean to ask what was she lyin on?
you those parking lots are for you they are for personal . if you wana park should be a good fighter and thats how i use them.

where do you think the girl was from?!
It was seriously the most disrespectful and stupid thing I have ever seen anyone do in this country.
"I fight with love and I laugh with rage, you have to live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change." Ani Difranco
i agree with you gypsy... it's a very disrespectful act especially on this month of Ramadan and to think that this is Middle East... where it is not actually allowed to do such thing in public... if there were some police that time, she might be put into jail...
My friend and I were in the car and we just were so shocked we couldn't believe it. We were in a rush to get somewhere so we never stopped. We went back a bit later, but she was gone. As there was a cop directing traffic not 20 feet away I;m wondering if he didn't arrest her.
