Tag: Qatar

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.

I just wanted to give a short update from a the beach here in Doha, where I spent my weekend (or Friday at least) with @danblah and @KateGardiner.

I've realised that I'll probably lag behind a few days with my blogging on this topic. It's too many impressions to take in and process to actually realise what I'm doing! Just saying :)

Wow, it was a while ago I wrote on this blog. But expect the posts coming more often now, with reason being the announcement I want to make -- I'm leaving my day job in Sweden for a year to move down to Qatar, Doha to work for Al Jazeera!
