You're a female, so obviously, you'll slip the kitchen sink in there somewhere..

just remember that you can buy just about everything here in Qatar.

I would bring the neccessities , plus a small amount of winter clothing and take it from there..

Cheer up..

Some things in life are bad

They can really make you mad

Other things just make you swear and curse.

When you're chewing on life's gristle

Don't grumble, give a whistle

And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...

Always look on the light side of life...

Come on Nefer .......WHISTLE
