Who lives in a country like this?

Hi,

I am considering a post in Qatar and I thought I'd ask the community about themselves.

I would describe myself as sociable, creative and intelligent. I like martial arts and going to the gym. i like a little tipple, but not too much and obviously love travel and culture. I have lived all over the world and I am a single female.

What kind of people live here?

Yae, I thank thee kind sir, for that information and I would indeed be shameless enough to admit that I'm quite much of a "Tippler" meself I might say! Heres to some "Happy Tippling"...waddlingpenguin...care to join us??? :D

I don't have delicate feelings nor do I see the need for such replies, I am saying that the way you worded 'What kind of people live here?' seemed quite a bizarre question!Maybe you should have thought about how you worded it!

a tipple is a wee drink. Not a p**** up. Just a wee tipple. You would only be drunk on a tipple if you were a shandy light weight.

Thanks, it's nice to see that there are a few level headed people on here. I will consider my package.

For sure, one can find all sorts, all over, but there are ex pat cultures within a country (like Charisma men in Japan)This is why I ask. It's not meant to hurt anyone's delicate feelings, of raise anyone's blood pressure to the point where their head blows off.

So I am gratefull to everyone who is able to give a little insight from their point of view.

Cheers!

One of the things you may not be aware of is that when you live here, you need an exit permit to get out. Even if you just fancy a weekend in Dubai, taking no leave whatsoever, your employer needs to give permission.

Also, if you have friends from SE Asia, those people will find it almost impossible to get visas to visit you here.

and not a "little" one..lol..

what do you mean by "love culture"? if you mean theatres, concerts, exhibitions, shows, etc. it is a huge lack of it in here.. and that's what i miss...

Doha is a multicultural city and u'll find a diversity of nationalities, social backgrounds and religions. I'm sure u'll find people with ur hobbies and the nightlife is alright. However, I think there's a higher percentage of families vs. single people.

Hey Penguin, We forgot to mention to you that this country is full of terrorists, so u better be careful.

But it's too hot for penguins as well, so you gotta be more careful.

Mila, take it easy dear, I'm sure she didn't mean to be mean.

Miss Penguin, welcome in Qatar and QL and enjoy your stay in Loving Qatar, lol

But seriously, normal people live here. Like everywhere else.
