In response to the original heading: "Why does making a living in Qatar sound horrible" I regret to say that for most people it probably IS horrible.
Not for you and not for me, and not for those who have time to visit and write on this website, but its horrible for the thousands and thousand of immigrant workers in the construction industry.
Construction workers in the UK dont live like these guys here. In UK a construction worker can afford a house and car and live with his family, ...and shop anywhere he likes on his time off. Here the construction workers are like SLAVES.
Please dont say "they chose to come." They have often been misled about pay and conditions here, and anyway, the choice is slavery here or slavery in Dubai or Kuwait. Thats not a real choice.
Lets pay and treat these people properly. It might take 2% of this year's GDP growth, but you can afford it and you have the opportunity to be a world leader in this area.
