how dificult is make friends!!!
Living in diferents places and changing every year is very dificult make friends, the first 6 months always is to adapt us in the new place and almos when we are having good time and making friends we have to move again!!
my fist year living outside of my country was in houston I never like it, big city and very dificult to meet people not easy, them we moved to Grandjuntion-colorado it's a small town beautiful with friendly people and lot of things to do Camping,fishing,ski,4x4,bike,hike and everything not far than 45 minutes I really love the place.
them again we moved to Bakersfield-Ca not really I love but was good, more expensive but with more options for shopping
people are more arrogant but with a nice smile the end of the conversation was good
Now we are in Oman from the local I can't say nothing never was involve with anyone, the expat are ok some are good for party and that it's others are more those who normaly I like good for everything when they are sick,happy, sad and angry.
is very nice when you call yours friends in the middle of the week to ask if they are fine or when your kids are in the hospital hey everything is ok!!!
in two weeks will be in Qatar hope to meet good peoples
disealdog is he not she!!!!!!!really ? DaRuDe, Please tell us who he is aswell. Any hints please.
Looks like this is a fake question to get attention then.
:-( So much for mother's true concern...
"It is better to be hated for what you are than being loved for what you are not."
just start sending friendship pms around and every one will be your friend.
just dont send any friendship pm to dieseldog.we already know him and have meet him :D
sandman69, if u r pointing ur comments towards me, then let me tell u frankly, i m a social animal..Though i m a reserved kinda person a bit but i leave no chance to know who r my neighbours no matter which country they belong to..U can't clap with ur one hand...So when i don't see ne further response from other side, i m happy to be myself..
Thanks all
Iam very continental like every country, keep up my english my husband is in charge and can be a lot of venezuelan but not for that all they will be my friends...you know how it work we never like everybody
when I was in US had very bad thought about the venezuelan I meet a few but all they was very arrogant with a silly posse.
and when I moved to Muscat I have not idea the how many venezuelan are living here and I was scared thinking they was the same too, but lot of them are very friendly and really nice.
but you know!! always you have your own group with same things in common and still intouch with all.
Dios quiera y nos podamos conocer algun dia.
Gracias
To meet people is not hard in here, there are hundreds of venezuelans and other latin people... there is also the expat mum groups and they are fantastic!If you want to keep up English you can also join the numerous groups in the city, and in QL, even the Latino group is very international -but not for housewives indeed. Friends are rather a difficult thing to find but among the 100000 you will meet, one or two will surely be the best friends you can imagine. I know it from experience.
Bienvenida y buena suerte, no tengo hijos y trabajo todo el dia asi que mas no puedo decir :-)
I HATE IT drmana :P
WK, You enjoying daily aroma of fish being cooked or hating it?:-P
"It is better to be hated for what you are than being loved for what you are not."
Why must the people be from your country. Good people come from all parts of the world. Maybe you are sheltering yourself or just being racist.
Been here 1 year, the only thing I know about my neighbour is that he loves fish.
FU,y r u surprised??? It cld be possible that we are living in an area where v hardly get people from our country..
I always thought that Qatar is very good for making friends and having an active social life! I for one,'am never short of invitations but prefer to avoid then due to work pressure etc.
Dieseldog - The expat community is very vibrant here and there is no dearth of things to do if you are positive and love to meet people.

We really have a lot of friends and almos every weekend we are invited for more the two parties same day...but we just can make one a week, also I will have our farewell party on the 7th of april, it was planing for the 8th of april but a friend of my husband have his farewell same day, I have to changed it because his friends and our friends are the same.
I always make good friend it's not dificult for me in some cases...
I like friends to go out one a week for adult party and normaly do 1 or 2 to take my baby with other children and the rest of the week I always making something like designing dress for my girl and for me.
Nothing is Impossiable, You Will Get Some Great Friends, I have Been In Qatar For A While ,Still Out Of Friends, But I Do Interact With My Neighbours Who Are From Holland, And A South African Guy.. So This Is How You Will Make Friends
Aviate, Navigate, Communicate
Its really horrible to stay like this with no frds and no social circle..People seems to enjoy their own life..
You are right Soniya.... people hardly know who their neighbours are here...they don't even have time to smile back when you greet them. I guess I would never get used to life in gulf.
"It is better to be hated for what you are than being loved for what you are not."
I'll keep my finger crossed for u..I've been in doha for last 4yrs and hardly ne frds...
It's a funny place with funny people. Not funny as in haha funny but weird funny. You will get used to them soon.
... You seem to be like I am too. Many people don't accept truths well but I say what I think. I rather know how I stand with people, I don't have time or patience for selfish, ignorant or backstabbing people. I have Latin temper which gives me the drive to be how I am. As I say: take it or leave it.
Good luck and we will welcome you when you arrive :)
qatar is almost same as another countries in few parts, there are lot of nice peoples here in qatar but u need to just find them and judge them... every where u will find good and bad peoples..... so u and ur family is wellcome and hope u will enjoy staying in doha....
thanks my husband and I are really nice persons he always go with the flow and Iam the persons with more actitud but always with respect for who respect me.I give the same what people give to me.
I know have to be diferent but I still learning.
