Ohhh so much love in this thread. Isn't it beautiful?!!!
Last week a German woman was driving on the fast line in her 4x4 at about 140kms per hour i could smell the tyre starting to burn, actually i cannot beleive that the car didn't tip over. I was blowing my car horn and so were two really young qataris in their pick up. Both of us were driving alongside her car and singnaling that she should stop. As she stopped, and bare in mind this was in the early hours and it was dark, I got off the car and the two young men jumped off and we started helping the woman. I was interpreting. We explained to her that she put her life and others in danger because she was driving fast on a flat tyre, that she ruined the flat tyre.
I realised afterwards that she was afraid to stop and felt that she would be vulbnarable. I simply told her that in the Gulf a person in a situation like this will always get help especially from Locals. She then thanked me and the two lads and asked if she should give them anything. I said why not, I had no idea she mean't money. They litteraly ran away to thei pick and said: "we hope we made a good impression and what we did was our duty" I explained to the Lady that it is not customary to give money for help in the Gulf gifts instead are approriate.

Qataris are beautiful people.
