I have 21 days left in Qatar, and I want to say thank you for a wonderful experience. I have been here for almost three years all together. I have experienced a wonderful world of excitement, entertainment, kindness, and warmth. This country, and the people that live here have been so wonderful.

As an American, we are often misinformed by our media as to what kind of life to expect in the Middle East region. I am proud to say the influence they had on me was minimal, as I was certain not everything you see on television is true. I flew here with the expectations of nothing less than a budding country with a bright future. And that's exactly what I discovered. It has been such a joy to see how far this country has come in the 9+ years I have known it. (Brief stay in 2002). I look forward to booking my tickets in 2022 to see where the next 11 years will take Qatar.

Thank you to everyone that showed me how to love this country. Best of wishes in your future. May all your days be filled with joy.

Nice one phishtime69. It's nice to hear positive feedback on Qatar. There are always plenty of people who post negative. I would be very unhappy to leave the place, but you have been here longer than me.

Good luck, and who knows you may even be back before 2022 ;)

I have a lot of items to sell before I get out of here. I am going to shamelessly self promote on here now. Please check the big item I am trying to unload. I also have a 47Inch Samsung going pretty cheap. PM if you're interested: http://qatarliving.com/node/1639146

It's an unfortunate way of the world. I never said I agree with it. I am VERY passionate about the condition of this world. I also want to feed my kid.

Appreciate the kind words from everyone.

@Nic--I understand the environmental impact of the development in this area of the world. I also notice the economic impact as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_inflation_rate
