even without a car i still manage to go places during weekends thru private transport...most of the time i hit the malls coz it's only during weekends that i get to do some shopping...night outs are only occasional for me though...

Thanks Kurtestinoso for invitation . Most kind of u :-)

where u go fr fishing in doha , at corniche ;-)

Anyways, to thank u all for suggestions , i spent my evening today at salwa road..very windy today evening . Barely manged to walk there.

Specifically , i tried 'Sushi 'at Minto ( opps to jarir) , and spent some time in jarir book store .Minto is a just one month old restuarant fr Japaneese dishes ( though the staff is philipinos, as expected) , and i do like the staff treatment . They were happy to tell me everythig about different sushi dishes . They suggested me the salmon fish ,and some kind of crispy sushi ,whic i tasted and love it. They also suggested a costly soup , ( which i luckily managed to skip -lol)

And at Jarir I got a new book on stock markets , and m planning to devote 2 hrs each day to consume it ..

Thanks 2 all again!!

what would you do on your weekend back home? just do the same... ok, no car, but there are cabs, or in a worst case scenario, there are buses... just do your regular stuff.. if you have any hobby in your life, the weekend is the best time for it...

..GYM, crafting, painting, long (short) walk, reading books, cooking, inviting friends for the lunch/dinner, playing cards, designing your own web pages, moving the furniture in your house, fishing/going for the picnic with your friends..

..i don't know.. there are hundreds things that you can do.. i wish i could have more time on weekends...

playing games on my laptop...wake up noon time Fridays and head for church by 3-3:30pm to hear mass.

Go home, prepare dinner and go to bed early.

I do my chores Saturdays :-)

It's across the Corniche Road from the pearl/clam monument.

I't difficult to keep bachelors out as it's open air.

Did you Google it first?

There's always hoards of bachelors there in the morning - probably because the shops are not open, but the sheesha and coffee shops are all open.

Did you Google it first?

baldrick...

I have heard about this kind of talk that , bachelors are not allowed in souq area ... i wonder why .. but is that true ?

anyways, i prefer to walk on evenings only and go on corniche strech for 1 hr or so walk.

I have a car but on Friday's I often WALK places. You know, one foot in front of the other!

Morning walk - Um Ghuwailina to Sheraton and back. or if I'm feeling lazy, just to Souq Waqif or Dhow Harbour.

Evening walk - Um Ghuwailina to Rugby Club (Doha College) But will get a taxi back due to heavy consumption of beer!

Did you Google it first?
