New to Doha

Hello everyone,

 I just moved here and I am trying to figure out what to do.  I have been here almost two weeks, and I do not want to suffer like I did last Friday.  Any suggestions on what to do in the area on Fridays?  If it helps, I live in the Al Saad area and hope to have a car in the next week or two.

 Also, any suggestions on a gym?  I was a member of Gold's back home, and have been considering it here.  If there is anyone that is interested in a workout partner, drop me a line.  I am not a muscle head, but I appreicate the motivation.

 I look forward to learning more about Doha.

 Regards,

Trunner32

I will do some exploring tomorrow. Good news is I have my car now so I can really get out and about.

One of my office mates is taking me to a UK bar tonight, so that should be fun.
