Qatar in Winter

Well I am still so shocked by the miserable cold weather that I don't know what to say about it, people are saying they have never known it like this and the LNG plant is having enormous problems because of it, the main gas line into the unit froze and shut everything down, they didn't plan on it being so cold and didn't fit any heaters so they are now suffering. my colleague here is freezing his ass off in his apartment as he doesn't have any sort of heating at all, so he gets up in a morning and has to get into the shower and then try and get dried in his freezing bathroom, I thought we were suffering global warming. I am still talking to folks about getting a job here but any house they offer must have a heating system for the winter, i must put it top of my list, along with fantastic Air conditioning, access to a swimming pool and close to a great shopping mall, i did find out gasoline is very cheap here, about 1 dollar a gallon, i should get a car that has the biggest engine possible, maybe a 6 litre corvette. or the 8 litre Viper, the favourite car here is the 4.5 litre Toyota land cruiser and they try and drive it like a sports car, and all the cars are white nearly, must be something to do with the summer temperatures reaching the high 40's. i wish it was that high now so i can stop complaining about the cold.
