Hi Globeglider,

life here is ok. Though you have to specify your likes and dis-likes. I understand your young and probably looking for opportunities that's why you're considering this job.
Qatar, is a small country in the Middle East.Majority of inhabitants are Muslims.It's a very rich country and aggresively developing into a economic powerhouse. Construction of infrastructures are everywhere.Most of the working people here are expatriates like me.Majority of which are from India,Pakistan, Philippines, Jordan, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Egypt etc. I think every country is represented here.:)
The drawback is super high house rentals, i suggest you include in your package the accomodation.It has the highest inflation rate in the region at almost 15% last fiscal year.Food and basic commodities skyrocketed, some were even 100 percent increase.You're also from a cold weathered country, here, it's in the 40's (degree celcius) during the summer (Mar-Oct) and single digits on the winter months.
I suggest you try Google and do more research in Lonely Planet website.
I hope this helps..if you want more details, just ask specific questions and I will try to help.

God Bless!
