Boring DOHA

Back in Doha, Wow how it has changed!!! hope for the better :)

This Dohell has got a posh concrete jungle. That way it has advanced a lot. But if you talk about people.........wallah.......it's a shithole.

Are you nuts?......no doubt I am crazy about you!

"I worked there in the early eighties"

We got a TRUE Qatar-Hero on QL!

My respects!

its changed alot from the eights, its grwing even more, im sure you'll like it when you arrive, but the cost of living is very high

itz nt borin-itz toooooooooo borin

I might as well enjoy Ramadan, have a blessed Ramadan everybody.

then and now???

just more buildings,

roundabouts,

cars, bars,

malls,

"fire in the air" bigger in ras laffan

and ---- population wham!

with all of these..

still BORING...

but as amnesia said... "create your own entertainment"

DOHA will be waitin for you... :-D

but some times i get frustrated, no career advancement, not much outdoors, always locked up inside. atleast if i could change job without the sponsor consent, it would have been a good thing.

The world would not make a racehorse of a donkey

Doha is what you make it.

It is an odd place. You can have a good time if you ignore, sand, dust, heat, rudeness, lack of customer service, overrun by bad drivers who do not give a flying f*** about other road users etc etc.

Or you can appreciate you are earning money, your kids are safe, food is cheaper then Oz or England and your kids can gain a good education.

As I say, it is what you make it.

You are arriving at a bad time, it is hot and it is Ramadam. You will see many changes here since the 80's and most of them good.

Bite the bullet and enjoy. Secretly most of us do.

did you find any difference horse box apart of stinking and polluting new factories . Just want to check whether the Doha was a better place some time back.

how much ever building they raise, it is always sandy and polluted, they have all these polluting factories here, life become a big garbage dumb. But most people stick on because they won't get a job back in India, so no choice. Sweet India lovely India.

Hi and a welcome back to doha for september. I have only been here 2 and half months and have found it to be very boring. To hot to do anything. If it wasnt for my hubby and the few friends I have made since being here I would have certainly left and gone back home.

I wish you well for your return and hope you find it a better place than years ago :)

this place sucks, if not for my boss, I might have moved out. But better than 3rd class places like Muscat, finds consolation in it Uhhhh. May be planning to go back to India, it is much better there. But my brother in law is in US and he is not even inviting us, how rude. May be he knows our true color. Uhhh better than muscat

Thanks Kahel and Chineselover,I will give you an update in a few weeks when I get seettled in,

Cheers

come to china& enjoy

Just like you said horsebox its still the same DOHA, you left behind

I don't know about others, but I am having a lot of fun here! And are plenty of water sports or any other sports to do! I feel like in holiday here, even if I am living in Qatar since 5 years!! Nice country, good people!

@ johnpur your so funny

again just in case users read this thread and don't know that some people are being sarcastic.

Yes Qatar has changed a lot (see the Development and Skyscrapers section on iLoveQatar.net)

And as for boredom, create your own entertainment! There's plenty to do!
