During my now two weeks in Doha I've noticed quite a few small interesting things about the culture here. One thing is that people take their cars everywhere!
The concept of having a bike doesn't exist here, mostly because the gas is cheaper than water (!!!) and it's way too warm to bike. The combination of a crazy traffic situation and a large number of expatriates also result in many choosing to get a private driver, which isn't too expensive here. I've chosen to do so, before getting familiar with the streets and traffic here.
