... did see some today in the souq. Some of the shopkeepers are still Qataris and there were some men and women in the souqs shopping for various items. I was in one shop looking at the beads. The men all carry the prayer beads and some can be beautiful. Learned that they can laser amber beads to make them darker. Or you can find some that are around 150 years old to get that darker color as they have absorbed skin oils to change the color. A man ...

neil dibiase thought that it would be great to experience Qatar for a few days. he planned for us to stay for about three days. luckily we changed our plans.<br><br>we stopped over in Doha, Qatar on our way from Bangkok to Istanbul . When we landed the pilot told us the weather. and i quote: "The current weather in Doha is dusty, 43 ...

... is a good size with lots of cupboard space. It has a small fridge, oven, dishwasher, microwave, and clothes washer. There are two bathrooms. One full (including bidet) and one half with a toilet, &#8220;bidet wand&#8221; sink and shower coming out of the wall so that the whole bathroom essentially becomes a shower. All floors are beige tile, all walls are painted beige and there are wall air conditioners in the bedrooms and living room. It&#8217;s fine for me but ...

... only to have all of us get sick as dogs. It was just a great group. After our group dinner, despite being as tired as can be, we all went to Tom and Jerry's, a cool climber bar, to see Nisha off because she was leaving early the next morning. She called little Arjun and Vickrim and they joined us, playing a little pool for the first time. The bar is really cool because it features signed t-shirts and messages from so many ...

... to Mecca. John and I have never been in an Islamic country so before venturing down for breakfast at 0800 I wrap my head in my hijab (scarf), John puts on pants and we're off to breakfast. We walk in the hotel dining room and there is a variety of people here. Some from the middle east, some from Europe and Asia....none of them dressed for the Islamic protocol. It's kinda weird, I feel awkward so I finish my food and go up stairs to change. I ...

... just brown. The buildings, the ground, the sky, its all just sand floating around, not quite the loveliest city we've been to, but it was nice to be able to check out a new area of the world for free which wasn't in our itinerary. Since we only had a few hours and there wasn't too much to do here, we headed to one of the malls which was actually quite lovely inside. I can't remember ...

... Francis was one of the only girls at the club who wasn't "working" that night; indeed several guys thought she was one of those girls too. But we still had fun, and Matt even frightened a few people by once again trying to dance - it was scary let me tell you! Doha is an interesting place, albeit very expensive. There is a lot of money to be made here for those who are interested. Thanks to big bro Chris for the hotel help - you're the best! Until next time, ciao amigos

... to let me use his cell phone to call the US...I later learned that irrational thinking and anxiety was one of the side effects of the duo-cotecxin malaria treatment (from China and not available in the US, btw...in case you're debating whether to get treated in the US or abroad). So getting to the Entebbe airport, I had a patchwork of 5 flights over the next three days to look forward to. I was not thrilled, particularly for the ...

... two days..... Yes, you are right.. my bag did not arrive. So, I am now standing in the airport, wearing formal dress as I was doing office the whole day and did not have chance to change to some more comfy outfit, without anything except my documents and money. I lodged a report at the L &amp; F, and got the reference number and their contact details. We found the limusine outside the airport and arrived at the hotel at 3:30 AM. The road to the hotel was wide ...
