Mandi..I have a two year old kid..so schooling is not a big issue right now..as you said qatar is least attractive which was distinct in my two day stay, coming from canada. I was also surprised how shabby QP HR office was, considering it as muti-billion corp, it has stortage of chairs, no refreshments etc. I was heavily jet lagged when i was in qatar, didnt get to see much, generally the city appeared to be clean. I would however complement this website (QL) which is cool..although some comments reflect the quality of people staying in qatar is not top notch, which one can expect being highest per capita income country.
