Making the move
So, I took the job in Doha, and will be coming to teach for 12 months. I now have a couple of questions. Mainly anything I should make sure I bring with me (apart from real obvious things), possibly things I may struggle to get in Doha or that may be a lot more expensive? Any general info/advice? and where should i look for meeting people/socialising once i have settled in. Thanks guys, maybe see you soon!
bring along your car and your flat cause, you may be able to find a good car after a while but a flat/aapartments are a bit expensive so bring your flat, lol
I have been shopping for clothes today, as I believe they can be a little more expensive out there? I do not take any medicines really but should I looks to get vaccinations before I make the move? so last minute its unbelievable. By the sounds of it, I can get most things out there, so I am looking forward to making the move.
Prism...thats only old white preys with a pot belly and a villa for himself..loooool
Elaborate else endure an endless debate.
I dont think white preys mind being the prey...:)
Hope someone from your part of the world can help you on this thread or else just run a search, almost all the info would be there.
ok so ?
Outside is not Qatar. In Qatar there is no professional stuff. It's either Made in China or, if it's available, it costs ten times more than in the world market!
coz u can get it from outside :P
That's what I said: you won't get any professional stuff here!
LOL FS
LP we are talking about Ordinary people with ordinary requirements..
You get almost nothing here. I tried to find fretwire for my Adamas guitar. Not available. Ordered it from the US. I tried to get an HD capture card for my PC. Not available, ordered it from Australia. I tried to get an HD satellite receiver PCIexpress card. Not available, ordered it from Germany. If you need professional gear you are fukced in Qatar!
You get almost everything here.. no need to worry.. don’t pack any winter clothes..maybe couple of light jackets.. winter is very mild compared to Uk.
If you are taking some medicines its better to bring it as you may not find the same brand ....same applies for any particular brand of toiletries.
Other than work mates, it takes time to make friends here …be active on QL, you will find like minded people…If its your first time in the Middle east.. please be little cautious about over friendly girls from a particular country…they are just waiting for a white prey..lol
I have tried to catalog my wife's and my experiences of moving here at http://waggingthedog.wordpress.com/category/qatar/
Please let me know if it helps.
You won't get any professional stuff in Qatar whatever it may be.
