why life is slow in Qatar than Dubai?

but I also don't hate it. Until it's there and the function is there, it will remain. Law created it so only law can abolished it.

Now if you still can not comprehend that, I don't know what will. You are a deranged person!

oooh touchy about his beloved POEA. Maybe the POEA mafia will arrange a hit to take me out....

Oh come on guyz, its still early in the morning to have argruments and for your kind information its a 'weekend' so chillax and enjoy !

so BACK OFF!

but you're far too far to reality. Get a life! POEA is NOT the one preparing anybody to go out to work. Straightened your facts before you post as the s*** on you keeps coming out!

Moza you talk common sense so that will be over Flors head.

Dubai is a City and Doha is a Village.

In terms of Infrastructure it is still 10 to 15 years behind Abu Dhabi and Dubai and as for Leisure for families it is very limited, especially in the summer months.

Hope the situation will improve with time and when the weather cools off a bit, then you can visit the Zoo, parks and the Corniche with your family.

Sorry Flor you post in a public forum it means what you write can be seen by all and they have a right to comment on it if you wish. I would have hoped you understood that by now. Maybe the POEA did not properly prepare you for your overseas assignments once you had paid their bribes....

oh Flor, you don't care, my heart bleeds!! What a muppet!

you think? And I am not commenting on you but to Moza. So mind your own business.

I think sarcasism is lost on you Flor

how stupid you are to even think that it's my company. You're lost. HAhahahahhah!. Get a life!

See there is the problem, how dare I talk about the POEA.......sorry to talk badly about your company

no connection to the topic. uLOL!

or whatever BUT accusing it for something you can not prove, that's wrong Moza. And NOT knowing how the system works, you have no rights to accused it wildly. Make yourself real and complain formally and maybe, some may believe you. If not, better shut your mouth. All dirts are coming out of it! You can not even reveal your true nationality and you dare talk about POEA? You're a real s***!

You will learn salman that the opposite of what Flor says is normally nearer the truth than what he rights. Plus he is an apologist for the human rights violating POEA

I'm not saying this because I'm a Qatari or anything, but Qatar plays it smart here. Whatever is build slow could be ruined slower, however, whatever is build fast could be ruined faster.

I'm not saying these words out of nowhere. Dubai built it city in less than 10 years making it a world destination. Do you remember what happened in 2009-2010 ? How many people lost their jobs?

I would not go furthermore, I guess you get my point now.

Kind Regards,

Moza now i got it that why you were hitting Flor all the time. He really deserves it. Deep Sh** lolzzz

deeper in s***! At least you make me laugh! uLOL!

Maybe that is why the Filipina have to work as prostitutes in their own country to service foreigners because they are not protected by the POEA. POEA members overseas never get abused, expand the remit of the POEA to help Filipinas in their home country!

and you are an i****. POEA is not in-charge of tourists. uLOL!

only if they are registered with the POEA....

guys as i mentioned above if you need leisure why not visit my country. you can take prostitutes as much as your money can..........

Flor i know what you meant to say. Thanks for your F** information buddy.

F** = Foo???? or Fud???

this is not a F** place.

Go back to Dubai and plenty of F** places there.

Forgot to mention that the only good thing here compared to UAE is the fuel price. Which is a loooot cheaper.

But you won't feel the difference as THERE IS NO F** PLACE TO go to.

No Moza ALLHAMDULILAH i am not into rubbish stuff.

Ya Nomad good point we dont have Dubailiving but there are thousand of other forums to discuss this sort of stuff in Dubai and unfortunately Qatar has only one :-P but still good to have it.

Life in Doha is so slow that someone had to create QatarLiving to alleviate boredom.

They dont have DubaiLiving in UAE do they salman?

Well, I guess b'cause Doha is still developing, we can see the roads and public transportation not well establish here, need to wait years for having that such in here, or better grab your bag and spent 2-7 days vacation in dubai/abudabi, have fun there and come back here for getting the another journey fund =)) ^_^v

I was teasing you Salman but you didn't see it, however I find it strange that I should have ask for more info. What should I have done, ask if you like prostitutes?

You really are a simpleton Flor, DUH really is work the priority!!! We are not in Doha for the lovely landscape and scenary!!

Moza i was not protesting, guess this portal / forum is to ask questions and discussions but sorry to say i didnt like you attitude.

You jumped to some conclusion yourself without asking for any further info.

These forums are getting strange for me and i see people are against each other. I think i should not post any further discussions coz instead of helping, people are more of offensive then helpful.

when did I say, don't go for leisure? I said, the priority here is to WORK! Can you understand that? Leisure is not a priority here as the climate is unfriendly. Now if you work and work and earn much money, easy to fly-out for a good and nice break.

What's your problem?

oooh, don't be so touchy. I'm starting to feel you protest too much....

Raven I am beggining to suspect that Flor works as a technical assistant, secretary here and has a lot of time on his hands. He professes to know about project management and some engineering aspects, but spends his time on here showing off how wise he is. Maybe we are the fools for engaging with him.

another stupid unintelligent answer from Flor, people need a balance in life Flor which means some leisure time with things to do.....you really are becoming a joke!!

Moza- i never mentioned about such dirt which is spitting from your mouth. I am a family man with kids and never mentioned such standard.

But certainly your comments are showing state of your mind.

Shame

I wonder if they will improve the standard of prostitution in Qatar as the quality and variety is poor compared to Dubai..... maybe that is what he misses.

it just a matter of what is the priority? Bury yourself to work and you can relax once in a while or go out of the country if you need a long break. Then go back again and work.

Padre, everyone needs leisure time for relaxation after a hectic day at work - right ?

I thought you came here to work? I didn't know you come here for pleasure? Tsk tsk tsk! As someoe said above, you know where the airport is! Lol!

Yup thats what i am talking about. Thanks for supporting my verdict CCIE 27.

Doha requires more entertainment and amusement places for public. Offcourse safety first.

Life here is slower than a dying slug.

I've been here for around a month, and it is still terribly boring.

-All standards here are wayyyyyy lower than Abu Dhabi's or Dubai's.

-They charge you 4000 QAR for a shitty 1 bedroom with no AC! You have to get ur own AC!!!!! WTF

-Had to do a membership to get into a pub!!!!!

-There are around 2 million people living here,with three small shopping malls,and around 100 parking place!!!

-When u ask people what do they like about Doha, they almost always reply: It's a safe country. Which is pretty true; but you won't ever ever hear this answer from someone living in ABu Dhabi or Dubai; Although they are also extremely safe cities. I wonder why?

But hey,the jobs here are amazing; which will make our stay here a lot easier.

Naah, tats cos the government thinks in the welfare of both - their country and their people ! No wonder, we have many things for entertainment and shopping in DXB !

but here, we have to live with Corniche and some beaches which is very WELL dis-organized ! :( and for the Malls....No Commments ! :(

bcoz life is fast in dubai than qatar :D

We have to live with what is available, Rizks. If we can afford it, we go elsewhere to satisfy our needs.

Many unwanted things are not available in Qatar- LP, but wat to do yaani ? :(

I don't think that the Internet is the property of Qatar (yet).

That's not the point, Rizks. IT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN QATAR!

LP, you can order it ONLINE from QATAR ! :)

"Whatever u want, is available in QATAR." is just not true. I tried to get 8 GB RAM modules in Qatar. Impossible. I tried to get the SkyStar 2 HD PCIe DVB card in Qatar. Impossible. If you have specific needs, you won't find anything in Qatar that is suitable. If you look for common rubbish, you'll get everything here!

YAZLEB:-

Great One

They must know, what was DUBAI and now What is it......??

ha ha missing the pace of life in dubai.......sounds like u need to chillax a bit & take each day as it comes. I first went to dubai when i was 16 ( im 42 now ) back then, there wasnt even a proper road from dubai to abu dhabi fully!! life was soooo slow in dubai then, give it 10 years & qatar will be like dubai ;-)

In the meantime buy urself a day pass at the weekends for the ritz carlton, or the grand hyatt & mix with the westerners & socialise a bit. as for malls atm i go to the plaza mall or landmark, join a gym or read some books or do a study course in something that u always wanted to learn but never had time to do ...........enjoy!

GUYS! Sorrry for be LATE

SAM:-

I don't knwo! why people first move to QATAR then Missing their lives in DUBAI. I use to visit DUBAI every month.. There is nothing special then QATAR. Whatever u want, is available in QATAR, just it depends on u, whether u want to keep sitted in ur home and things will come to u by themselves or go around and have some FUN...

U'lll find things will make u HAPPY and FUN

GUYS! Stop comparing Qatar wid DUBAI......

for me is work work work and work..............lol........

try to enjoy somehow as it will take time for adjustment..........

Everybody knew that first will be boring and the end u will love the place.

cheers :-)

Thanks for lovely words people.

Its good to hear enthusiastic words, it shows qatar has some potential and offcourse i am open for criticism.

@ Qatarisun i was not off job, infact got a better offer. After all qatar is booming.

@ Tazteen Thanks ya i got to have good and true friends.

@ Flanostu yeah i know where is airport and looking forward to see the new one also.

Looking forward for more.

Regards

Sam

If only it was that easy.. The lure of the Sun, Sand, Sangria, Sity sentre and Spondoolies is so strong :O(

You know where the airport is.

why to correct? she just turned 26 :) she was born here..

..... 26 years in Qatar, I think you need to correct this figure !!

here we go again.. why do you expect one country to be exactly like anoter one? I hope Qatar will never be like Dubai.. Qatar goes its own way, and no need to make it like something else.. And there are a lot of things to do in Qatar. You just don't know, because you are only few days here. And I am sure you don't have too many friends. THAT'S why it's "dizzy" for you ..

There is everything here: Malls, Water parks, beaches, restaurants etc..... All you need is friends.

On the other hand, why did you leave Dubai then? I guess no job, eh! So? Be greatful you got a job..

You gotta experience Dubai to understand what salmantarik is trying to say.

Well all i know is that Qatar is a peaceful country... I am living here from 26 yrs and i dont think that life in Qatar is slow... you are new here so it will take some time to get use to it .. :) try making new and true friends.. people here are so nice..

Have a nice and jolly life

@ Moza ya thats some what true

@ Polly well i am not gardening guy but i guess i need to note down the stuff i am missing lolzzz anyways thanks for reminding me the stuff.

Keep posting

thanks and regard,

sam

sam , may be there are things that you want to do and havent found the time bofore -- gardening / keyboard .. ior something else .... is there ?

It's not so bad here, after a while you will find Dubai too brash and fake.

Thanks guys for your comments.

@ Rudi - Thanks for your suggestions . looking forward for more tips.

@ Flexi - slow and steady wins the race only in books :-P

@ Moza i cant go back now anyways i have to get used to this life.

Regards

Sam

Call your friends next Thursday eve at your place , cook food & have a heartful gossip among other things....!

Go to Philippines for such fun requirements.

Why don't you go back to Dubai if Doha is too boring for you?

Because slow and steady wins the race. That's the reason you are here. Or not?

If we came from metropolitan city,,we are freeze here at Doha even we are in the summertime..

If you like football(EURO 2012). go to Holiday Villa or Ramada Hotel...

During weekend after the closure of City Center Mall and Villagio. Cinema at Landmark also closed. We have Royal Plaza, The Mall. Its very small shopping mall.

U can try go to Lagoona Mall at Zig Zag Tower and nearby Porto Arabia inside The Pearl Qatar. For beaches at Doha, we have KATARA or Sealine. Also u can try AQUA World. NIGHT ENTERTAIMENT you will almost not get it here. Have Fun!

As you said you've only been here a few days,give it time!

everything will go into places.

explore your spiritual side !
