Observation of the Last Week in Qatar

The traffic in Doha is shocking, lots of very bad Indian drivers

Virtually no Qatari's seen doing anything, a few driving, that is all people seem to do at night is drive around the ring roads and pipping their horns constantly

Not a great deal to do here, probably all the expats just get together and house parties

very sandy

Chaos seems to reign in the plant, probably no-one will take a decision in fear of it being not 100% perfect so may get fired from their cushy well paid job

never see women anywhere, only a few Philipino's in the hotels working and a few expat older women in the supermarkets

cable TV is terrible with loads of Arabic speaking shows so bad as to make me cry

lots of indian food places that are really good and amazingly cheap, full meal and an alcohol free drink for $3

the favourite colour of the cars is white, very boring but must be something to do with the amount of sun they get out here.

millions of little indian guys working on the roads and everywhere, they must be the cheap worker of choice

life could be very boring here if you live in the wrong place and dont have a group of friends to mix with.

close to the far east so great holiday jumping off point for Oz and thailand
