Hi, I have just arrived on Sunday from Australia to live and work in Doha. Does anyone have any good tips on where to meet people and some good activities to get involved in?
Thanks, Mimi

There shouldn't have been this male female thing involved in here. It was wrong as done by xacnafein but at the same time, with due respect Mr.maxim! you had been very harsh and I believe you should have shown a little patience and tolerance. I hope you don't mind over my comments. I suggest we all should be careful while commenting here at QL.

To xacnafein: i've some australian friends and i believe they r sensible enough 2 know who 2 meet and who not to. by the way how do u know her inbox wd be getting flooded. it may be u r flooding it with different profiles. how do u know, it was her first mistake in Doha and ur 'welcome to hell' comment. u don't know about Doha as you arrived in this 'hell' just 2 weeks ago. if u fail at sense of humor, then just don't do it but don't make racist remarks 2 please some girl.

Here i see, u r another pervert trying 2 play around with new tactics.

Welcome welcome welcome.

You've definately found the right place to hang (atleast 'virtually').

Spend some time on this site and you'll see all kinds of places to hang.

If you know 1 or 2 people even from work, get to a pub or something and just suss the people out and relax. See the vibes...Qatar socializing is very different!

My first couple of days, I lived at a coffee shop... just wanted to get the feel for people, see reactions, what they did, etc. Plus, got me feeling a little more comfy in surroundings.

Biggest warning: AVOID WHITE LANDCRUISERS!!! ACTUALLY, ANY LANDCRUISERS!!! I won't say anymore.

Welcome again, Qatar is a pretty cool place... keep your mind open and your credit card handy... its fun.
