Hiya. I'm due to arrive in Qatar to take up English teacher post in Dukhan Eng School. I have a million questions, but firstly, can anyone tell me if it's possible to get broadband at home? Thanks :)

I actually am a bit of a party animal on the quiet! Bringing my twins with me though and they're 6... which leads me to my next point (ha).

Does anyone know anything about childcare/ nannies/ baby sitters over there? Do people usually employ maids? Cheers. This is so helpful!

I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I'm here

Than a whole truck load when I'm gone

Hello Fran ! Dukhan is too far from the capital.. it is industrial city mostly occupied by professionals working oil and gas industry. Yes.. you will get broadband in your home... waiting to welcome you in Qatar...
