Welcome to Doha. I came over from London and just entered my fifth week here. I pretty much have the same impressions as you. It's not a bad place.
I have been asking around my office (Qatar Airways) about anyone playing football and so far had no joy. I would like to play for fun and am in no way competetive but it would be nice to play some, especially before the summer weather kicks in.
In terms of going out, Rydges seems to be a good place to go, especially at the weekends. Beer seems to be expensive but never tasted better :-) Have not had a chance to explore Doha yet. There is also supposed to be a desert party this Friday, apparently very famous but dunno where exactly. (Somewhere in the desert I guess judging by the title)
Please let me know about footy developments as i would love to join you guys and might even be able to get a few people from here at QA.
