Hello Qatar

Brent J
By Brent J

Hey everyone,

 

I just thought id send a quick message to everyone. I have just landed in Qatar (check my profile for some brief info on me!)

Im living in a compound near Decoration roundabout - Samrya Gardens

Im hoping that i get the opportunity to meet some people soon! Its quite intimidating moving over to a new country and knowing no one! Ill be working at the Raslefan site for the next year or 2 as it goes!

 

Feel free to drop me a message in here. I dont know a lot about Doha or where things are as yet so it will be a huge learning curve over the next few months.

Love kicking the footy, having a hit of tennis, having a beer etc so drop me a line!

 

I have to get me a SatNav!!!  I think ill be getting lost quite a bit lol 

regards

Brent
