ARABIANFAIRY- thank you for your response, it made interesting reading.

Do you have any knowledge of what the consequences would be if we were found to be living together unmarried?

I was glad to hear that I wouldn’t have my legs whipped for not covering up haha

It is a very hard decision to make but I suppose what have I got to loose. I have a job I enjoy but don’t love, we own our own home that is easily rentable, and with facebook I can stay in contact with all my friends.

I hope you don’t think I am being nosy but what sort of things to you get up to in your spare time? Movies, swimming etc? Do you have an active social life compared to when you lived in the states? Do you intend to stay in Qatar for much longer? Sorry if to many questions – just trying to get an insight…..

Ahhh and shopping, my favorite thing in the whole word! What shops do you have, are the prices reasonable?

One last thing where are the majority of expats from?

You’re a star – thanks
