Having an Irish bar will put Doha officially on the world map. I knew Russia had arrived when I arrived at the airport in Moscow in 1993 and the first thing I saw was an Irish bar.

I think your Kiwi pal is right, there are a lot of new bars opening here over the next year. Life in Doha is getting better even though we are goint to lose Rydges. Boo Hoo!
