No there isn't any Target or WalMart or anything like that. There are not really any American chain stores. ( Can't speak for Canadian stores as I have never been to Canada) There are a few UK department stores. We have the souqs and French grocery stores. Nothing here is like it is in America or Canada. You will have to search and search for the things you need.

There's no Ikea in Doha. They've been playing with plans of opening one up for years. Closest is in Dubai. I just came from there today. They will ship your purchases to Doha, but you have to go there in person and buy the stuff. Delivery time is 5-7 days. The price is 3.7 Dirham per kg, but a minimum fee of 300 Dihram. Worth it, if you buy a lot. Supposedly there's a catch my friends told me about AFTER I got back from Dubai (I'm currently looking for new friends;)). The weight price they quote is not just regular kg's, but kg in terms of volume. In essence they said you can expect to pay twice of what they've quoted you. But, I guess I'll know the exact answer to that in 5-7 days, when my goods arrive.

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough...
