for expatriates, what can we do during ramadan? its my first ramadan experience in qatar so please give some suggestions
Buy a GPS and check-out http://www.geocaching.com. Pack a bag lunch and check out the beauty of this country. Get out of town and enjoy the desert.
Or wait for just before sunset and enjoy the roads with no traffic. See how fast you can make it through Ramada junction.
Or invite other QLer expats in for a potluck.
*whatever*....
whateverv you say luv....i'm bored of this one.......move on......
God its getting tiring hearing if you dont like it, take your package elsewhere and leave...
well...i guess am not the one who needs to grow up...am not the one whining here...n btw expatriates doesnt mean non muslims..u r an expat if u r temporarily here n the country n culture isnt ur own.
anniek,luv,grow up hun......the post was meant for expats...meaning non muslims....
lol...guys complaining bout fasting in ramadan is just like u guys have choosen to go to a beach in LA during summers n sitting there u r complaining bout how ppl are dressed up in swimsuits there n u make fun of them when they swim n do water sports...
if having a gum means hell lot to u during the day then i guess u should set ur priorities straight n forget bout the kinda package u r getting here n move to a place where you can have all the gum u can chew....lolzzz
sorry Alexa...its a hard truth to admit to lol everyone else can suffer with halitosis till the sun goes down but not me!!lol
yes, going to the loo to have a sip of water is absolute joy and not being allowed to chew chewing gum is horrific! I've learnt how to do it discreetly after a few ramadans experience!
I lose weight during Ramadan...because I cant eat at work and i dont like eating in the evening!
I hate having to lock myself into loo to have a sandwich...
I take the travel kettle into my office and we barricade the door and have a look out etc etc
'otherwise you shall be deported'!
britexpat lol.....why are you always picking on me?? :O
hubby looking for a new partner to spend money on :0)
mmmmm, something that doesn't appeal to me really.....its just making the day into night and vice versa....what would be more meaningful is if it was not allowed to eat or drink at anytime over the month...now that would be something quite spiritual......
You can't teach experience
Yes and we sit in a circle on a spartan floor covering with our Muslim friends. We slowly eat dates, savouring each mouthful whilst sipping a dainty cup of tea...talking in hushed tones....and admire their devout beliefs for having fasted since sunrise....their sole sustanance reciting surahs from the Quran...
Get real.... its like a bloody rugby scrum when the scran is on the table.... and thats just for kick off.... and they only woke up an hour before - then P A R T Y or get taken to the hospital by a crane ....cos so over stuffed.
Lol Oryx...Ramadan is a perfect excuse to spend time with friends at their place and talk about curtains and carpets and make cocktails.....mmmmmm
Its the Lords way of helping you detox your body and prepare for the next twelve months of boozing...
So accept it and enjoy Ramadan with the locals...
We may not be Muslim but it doesn't mean that we nod our heads and say OH YES to such writing.
Come on we know full well what folk do at Ramadan... and it doesn't always strictly follow Anniek's homework essay.
If yer know what i mean gal!
lol Oryx she certainly does lol although I don't believe it could have been my sarcasm and humour.....two traits which I don't have lol
Get scared witless by even worse driving than ever....
enjoy a peaceful walk on the Corniche at sunset!
be creative with your socialising as the bars are shut..
Hey Super shall we invite Anniek for the last party b4 Ramadan outing? - sounds like a right 'barrel' of laughs!
For 50K and 8 hours a week, I'll bend over backwards and fill any positions that may be required..
ramadan is the perfect timing for diet...

woes of parents looking for British curricullum school for their 5 and 11years..Well no doubt there is DESS but I know they have a long wait list...but there are other schools aswell why don't you try there. How about Doha Academy Mamoura and luckily they have opened a new branch in west bay from KG to grade 6....well as and when they will be extending the classes accordingly but if you want atleast you can enroll your child and not retuen back to UK. Well I tell you with personal experience I have friends and neighbours who will vouch for words..they are Briton themselves so first hand advice. Their children love it here and hopefully they too will make Qatar their home.

supernurse am just expressing my opinion just like everyone else ...why are u being so touchy...am not pointing anyone in particular..am sorry if it was all your sarcasm n humour that got offended...just chill n try to come up with something more witty..
Will it be just a management job, or will she be rquired to fill other "positions" ??
Don't fall for it Spicey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
told ya earlier thex but i guess i am simply unaffordable......
Life is what you make of it.......so quit B******G about it.
anniek, don't read it then....other people are obviously enjoying the sarcasm and humour so let them do what they like.....
Spice how much then ??? :D
--------
a coisa mais importante na vida é SHEESHA- "Sheesha man"
and yes ppl...all the sarcasm n humour isnt really appreciated when it comes to religion n culture...u guys should save ur wit for some other topic:)
Well said..
I have heard that things ease up during Ramadan and nights are fun..
So, as a non Muslim, its perhaps better to chill and enjoy the 30 days..
anniek...get over yourself, this is called light hearted banter and stop the lecture 'its a muslim country and we all should respect the culture and traditions here coz we all choose to come here knowing the muslim culture ..nobody forced us to'
We are all aware of that,cheers
thex- sorry babe that is way below market price........lol
Life is what you make of it.......so quit B******G about it.
theres a lot that can be done during ramadan. if u are a muslim u wont even get to know how ur day will pass ..praying ..reciting the holy quran and preparing for iftar. if u r a non muslim u can come back home early spend time with ur family n friends. have some gettogethers at home since ull have most of the day free. u can shop n tend to some of ur pending chores. and usually nobody goes out to socialize and eat out before sunset anyways so i guess i wont make much of a difference.its a muslim country and we all should respect the culture and traditions here coz we all choose to come here knowing the muslim culture ..nobody forced us to.
Don't cry for me Argentina :(

Harsha, during Ramadan, people get more hungry than they were ever, its like they never saw food in their lives. For more info visit your local mosque lol.

dont hold your breath hold something else of yours and walk around the street and get stoned :D
[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
who they?
harsha, don't hold your breath.. usually they gain weight during the ramadan, coz you will have to eat for entire night in order not to get hungry during the day...and eating at night leads you directly to gaining weight.. so better like gypsy said, go to Corniche and watch the grass growing..much healthier: fresh breeze from the Gulf, and not too heavy stomach.
yeah right, im excited to upcoming vacation after ramadan.
.
Seriouly Moshimoshi there isn't much to do. You can go to some Iftar tents, but those get kinda dull after awhile.

Grass not allowed to eat or drink during Ramadan either, so it will not be growing much (unless it does what appears to be the norm during Ramadan, and gorges it self over night resulting in big fat grass come the end of the month).
The Corniche has some nice grass. You can watch it grow.
