Eid is boring in Qatar

meaningful, nobody need to invite SG. here on ql there are lot of group people can join and meet new friends.

no body will come knocking on your door and ask you out, its the person himself who needs to get active.

i can tell example of myself. when i came here, i use to feel very lonely. no friends and so on. thank god i had my hubi and my lil boy. at least,i was busy taking care of him. with the time, its still gets very boring from staying home every day. i didt have my own car at the time. do you know what i use to say to myself? i use to say, there are so many things to do here but i need to get active.

after,discovering ql website,i joined the mums group, went out 1x with some of the mums from ql for coffee meeting. from there on, started to meet lovely people.

now, my agenda is fully booked!!! every day something new to do , every day meet out with friends ..... and so on! THANKs TO QL!!!!!!!

SG. maybe you need to tell us what kind of activity you are looking for? is there any thing specific you like to do, but cant dont know where or...?

let us know. iam very sure there are lot of qler out here who will be willing to help out.

hmm.. hope i didt expalin too much....

cheers

Why dont you guys invite SG to any of ur functions/party? you just advise him to go out! go out alone and walk in souq or corniche? you guys should atleast wellcome him, remember when you came to Doha u were the same but u got invited and know people, try to help this guy. unfortunately Im not a man to invite him , im single but not available lol...bad luck for him hehe

I dont live with example..Rather I prefer to be an example!

Don`t Love me be my friend

well i agree with SG. I mean in the west when its christmas its fabulous, the decorations, the atmosphere, parties etc, you really feel the occasion. For an islamic country it would be nice to mark the occasion with decorations etc, it pretty bland here. However as most said, fesitve seasons are about spending time with family and friends and marking the occasion. I guess with expat muslims being far away from family and friends makes it a bit difficult to feel eid.

SG you have to get out more...

HE WHO DARES WINS

before i also used to complain abt the same thing that Eids are boring here but now i have made many good friends and now my eid is spent happily though the part that i am away from my parents,relatives and best friends Hurts but its ok coz i have new friends now who are there for me....

Life is a mystery..... you never know whats next.....

i totally agre with you SG

Eid is a bit boring here but it was not like this always

they used to decorate the place like u said the cornish,All the buldings on the street used to be decorated with lights there used to be fireworks and events going on it used to be alot fun but from past 3 years they have stoped doing that just don't know why...

Life is a mystery..... you never know whats next.....

its true, all depends upon yourself... you need to change the style of living and looking toward Qatar...instead of complaining, try to adjust with it... your life will be easy...

single guy ,

good luck

you'd be bored if you do nothing singleguy..

come out of your cage and explore..

cheers,

Putting aside personal attacks and views of whether one should be here or not the question was about why there is no Eid atmosphere here. There is hardly anything that gives you the feel of Eid - no decorations, no public festivities, it just seems like any other day.

you have to enjoy it with ur family , friends...

I enjoy going to the huge majlis, sitting with family, going to some nice semi-parties, then going out with friends, enjoying the night time.

You're only bored if you don't get up and do something.

Although last eid there were no decorations compared to the one before it.

Personally I find it great here and not boring at all. Sounds to me that you are in the Wrong Country.
