I am so thankful for the efforts that amnesia and Qatari have put into their websites - they make such a difference to expats coming into a truly foreign country.

Quick note on amnesia's willingness to respond to emails & forum posts with the answer vs. "this has been discussed - please search the forum". The latter has been one of my personal pet peeves for a long time. . .it is so much more welcoming to either give the answer or, at a minimum, to say "you'll find some good info in this thread [link] - might want to search the forums for others as well". Thanks, amnesia, for going the extra mile.
