Anthoworx, you certainly aren't going to do that right??. I mean this is Qatar, there are so many things to do, you can make friends at many places, join a club, go to coffee shops, join volunteer work as an opportunity to make friends,you can actually make friends right here on QL if you have the right strategy,but please dont stay at home and party here (duh!). Even I am somewhat in your kind of situation right now, but whatever happens I make sure that if I'm not partying , ill at least be hanging out or just be out, but NOT AT HOME. These are my suggestions, the rest is up to you. Cheers! and Advanced New Year wishes. :)
