You will be bored to death here if you will only stay in your house. Join some clubs, go to gym, jog in corniche, window shopping, collect good movies, enroll in arabic or french class, write blogs, engage urself in some discussions like this one, etc..okies =O)

There are things to do in Doha which of course involve a bit of dosh.

What do you like doing?

Here's a short list of what I do so I don't get bored.

- VCU for community classes (check the VCU qatar website--just Google it)

- Play Squash at the Foundation

- Go to see the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra--the new season is starting soon, will post schedule once I have it

- Go to the Souqs to smoke shisha

- The weather isn't that bad anymore so, I suggest chilling by the corniche

- Watersports; kite surfing in Fuwairit beach, Jet skiing at the intercon, Skimboarding somewhere in the south, Sailing lessons at the intercon--Reggatta website

- Movies at the CC

- Buy movies in this store in Al Sadd (PM Labda06 for the location). All movies are QR10 each!

Okay, that's just the short list. If you want more, I'll write some more... you won't get bored that easily here in Qatar. It's not so bad. :)

I usually pack some sandwiches and tea in a flask. Then, I drive to the Messaied Road and park on the side..

Then while away the hours by counting the Land Cruisers whizzing past.

Try IT!

watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S. its a laughing stock and you will pass your time when you are alone. i am living alone since one year and i have loads of movies and TV series to keep myself entertained and busy. you can do something like that. give a chance yourself to explore your hobbies. atleast think like that you have plenty of time to do what you always wanted to do that one thing which you could not do becoz of lack of time. think positive and be a positive person.. good luck..

Boredom is really a part of life when u are in abroad. eventhough u have friends, time will come that u can't be together because of some reasons.. so just help yourself not to be so bored... u are the only one who can help urself...

You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving!!!
