honestly,it all defends in what country u came from, and novita77 got a point there....at first culture shock....then you'll try to hop in the crowd....then look for your friends to be and your material need....then discover what qatar is like....then.....in the middle....you'll feel like saying i.... i wish or i miss....then qatar's environment will actually transform you in a different mode or even attitude both environment n workplace....totally different.....anyway for me its not a nice place to work and even live boring lah....just counting the months until my contract ends.......sorry sweetahlic for the negative point but its my perspective view in being here in qatar....but still it's worth trying...good luck
