it's not as i expected. I think Beijing is much better. Food are so so expensive. Maybe after a while once get familiar, it would become better.
How do you guys feel?

Hi All

My name is Amit and I have just arrived into Qatar and have been here only a few days and want to know is it difficult to make friends here???

I have worked all over Europe and didnt have a problem but Doha seems to be difficult - but I am sure in time I will feel somewhat different....

If I was permitted to use foul language on here, you would get such a barrage of abuse as you have never experienced.

Get off this thread.

Get off QL (can Qatari kick the lying thieving scamming biotch out of QL?)

Find some other mug

Don't think so but I think she sent this already to one of the boys before I think it might have been Richard.

Its all just a different experience. Life here is not so bad, but the cost can be a problem. Just stay away from expensive hotel bars!

What good is comparing. You made the decision to come here.. Now enjoy it and forget about other places.
