Good Morning Stephan,

It strikes me that 25 people have read your post but no-one has bothered to reply...Pretty much the attitude that I often find here. If, lets say, I am trying to cross the road, drivers will slow down to look at me, but no-one will actually stop and help... Anyway, just got me thinking...

So, I am not the most appropiate person to give you information about this country, since I have been here for only few months and I'm still trying to find my way.

I find that I get plenty of info about Qatar by reading the papers, so you get to know about developments, social interests, etc.

try these websites:

www.gulf-times.com
www.thepeninsulaqatar.com

These have also a classifies seccion where you can see about house prices, second hand car prices and jobs vacancies.

I hope it helps. And I hope someone else can provide more info. Good luck
