Visited the souq today. There weren't too many people there. I think most of Doha works on an afternoon and evening type of schedule but there were some women coming into the souq as I was arriving. They were locals and dressed from head to toe in the black abbaya that they wear which included a total face covering except the eyes. Three women squealed and rushed at each other in a display of happiness and recognition and started chattering away to each other. Ok, I don't think I have ever l...

My driver was regalling me today with all the benefits associated with living in an oil rich nation. Petrol here for the car is running around $0.76/gallon (crunched the numbers 3 times from what he told me and that's what I got. But I was using 4 liters roughly to a gallon and I think it's more like 4 1/2 or 5 liters to a gallon). There isn't any tax on the cars they buy and no tax on the petrol. As a result of this development, most Qataris have a car if they are old enough to drive. There...

This morning I had my driver take me to the Qatar Falcon Center. From the guidebook, it sounded like a place where men came to look at falcons and possibly purchase them. From the actual experience it was a whole heck of a lot better!
Walking into the courtyard there were signs: "hospital. staff only" on all doors except one which said "client entrance." i was thinking there is no way I can act like I want to buy a bird but we walked in to see. One falcon was sitting on a rail in the wai...
As with most Middle Eastern countries, there aren't a whole lot of women out and about. Then again, it's possible I just haven't been where the women are. The most women I have seen here was at an expat mall and only 3 women there were locals, the rest, expats. But even if I go where there are a lot of people, most will be men. And I have discovered that I am reluctant to begin any casual conversations with the men from Muslim countries. By nature and practice, I am fairly shy anyway and hav...

... 3 so far but that's 100% so far. These areas (taxi, hotel, shop, restaurant) are the most common tourist hits so foreign worker full contact means that tourists are meeting expats, not locals. In Oman, I did have a tour service arranged before I got there and my guide and driver there was an Omani so ...

... cousin (Vatche) to come and bail us out. He also had a Land Cruiser but an older model. He came to pull us out but ended up getting stuck as well in the midst of his efforts. So we had to focus on getting him out. We got him out but every time he tried to get Sebouh's truck out he would get stuck. The sand was so soft that I couldn't push the trucks without taking my flip flops off first and walking bare foot. After a few back and forth of this ...

... could locate the new premises. The next thing was about the money. I had USD in mu wallet, but had to pay 4000 DZD for the ticket change. Strange thing is Algeria is that they do not use credit cards, I could not change the USD notes in a nearby bank. So we drove some kilometers to get a black market and got the changes. On the way to the Airport, there are many check-posts, only god knows why. I never seen the police searches any body in these check posts. The check posts ...

... able to make it to the airport in plenty of time. Or so I thought. Would you believe that my flight was moved FORWARD by a half an hour? I didn't even think that was possible! Besides departing early, I had a problem at the check-in counter which took a full thirty minutes to resolve. It seems that my reservation had been automatically canceled by the airline because I had multiple reservations. When I made the original booking, I had made some changes and apparently ...

... despair or relief under the pressure of nature's mighty force. After a while, as the damage became apparent, there was nothing more to try and salvage and we could only put out faces into the wind and feel it's blast or run for shelter. We faced the wind in all its fury. It stirred us all...equally, into a state of elation and we shouted and screamed and jumped around like children on the wall ...

... I will have enough time once I get to my hotel in Doha to finish up this weeks homework. Here's to hoping! I've got about an hour left to wait before I can go check in...It seems like I've been doing a lot of waiting lately! I had to take a taxi from Terminal 4, a small terminal that I arrived at, to Terminal 1, one of the main terminals at Dubai International. To give an idea of how large the airport grounds are, it took about 10 ...
