Hey guys

 

Hows it all going? I'm new to qatar living. Am currently studying in the UK, and due to move out to Qatar hopefully in June, where the job hunt is on.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to meet people in Doha, like socialising etc, I heard the qatar living website has like group events out etc?.

 

 

Thanks

Hello mate, I've been here with wife for about 6 months now (came over from the Midlands). Not a bad place, but can be a bit frustrating and boring at times.

Hello and welcome

 

i've only been here a month the main difference from the uk is:

a) the heat

b) no rain :-)

c) the drivers are crazy

 

apart from that good fun.

Hot?

Wait until you get in the car and it's 56+C and you can't touch the steering wheel or gear lever.
