... has tourists. I've been three times. So I travel and travel and travel to meet locals and learn cultures and see and discover history. More and more there are "regions" of the world that are becoming so very alike that they may lose their identity as a separte people. I hope to arrive before that happens.<br>

... in between as well as any and all luxury cars. There are dealerships for Toyota, Honda, Mazda, GM (including Saab and Opel), Ford, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, and Maserati. I drove by the Rolls Royce dealership that&#8217;s opening soon but maybe there&#8217;s another one that I haven&#8217;t seen yet. There&#8217;s others that I&#8217;ve never heard of and I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s a few I ...

... in our adjustments such as Erika taking Annette to the grocery store with buying tips and Ettieane using this liquor license to keep us stocked up. They also had a nice 15 year old daughter who apparently was not adjusting well over here so they just shipped her back to South Africa to stay with her grandparents. <br><br>They took Hailey to the Souk where she bought ...

... high end hand bags, just like the western high end shoppers seen in the mall as well. Even in their modesty, for the hijab is, at least in part, a display of modesty, the women of Doha in the Villagio are as trendy and "chique" as they come. Some of the women whose faces are exposed wear looser fitting robes with larger openings. When they walk and the slit at the bottom opens up you can see many are wearing designer jeans (or jeans meant to look ...

... home. The weather really good in Qatar. It was usually 33 degress in the day and 22 degress at night, so it was always shorts and T-shirt weather! However, in the summer it can get up to 50 degress, so it was just warming up. I got to see a few shopping malls, which were incredable. The Vilaggio mall had a Venice style river running through it, which you could ride a gondola down. The City mall was ...

... I was flying to Dubai, then on Qatar to Doha. The flight was very nice. There were only four of us in First Class on the B777-300. Unfortunately, this was not the "B777-300ER" just a B777-300, so there were no individual suites or seats. Old fashioned two-by-two. But since there were only four of us, there was nobody seated next to me. Good thing, because I spread my stuff out on a flight...magazines ...

... out to Saudi Arabia - so I guess technically I have now "seen" Saudi Arabia....although I don't think that I can cross it of the list as a place I have visited. Things in India are going well. I have been working with the IAG team on finalising some details on workshops which will need to be conducted in the coming weeks to get things moving, and also getting a bit more involved with procurement - anthing from accommodation ...

... for my purposes, I then proceeded to the so-called "Quiet Room". Ha! It was a semi-dark room with reclining chairs that might have been usable for sleeping - had the room been anywhere near quiet. Not wanting to be the cause of sleeping passengers missing their flights, this room was bombarded with a constant barrage of flight announcements - one after the other - non-stop - until about 2:30 a.m. Unable to sleep in the chairs provided, I pulled my sleeping bag out of ...

More Qatar pics here We got into Qatar at 6am after a red-eye flight from Berlin. Our connecting flight to Johannesberg was in 16 hours. We both didn't get much sleep and so, bleary-eyed, we went off to explore Qatar. Frank went to talk to the Qatar Airlines guy at the counter, and without really even asking, the guy gave us a free hotel and transfer voucher, and also paid for our 24 hour Qatar visa, which saved us $60. We ...
