So, seeing the activity in terms of posts on this thread, im convinced there IS actually life out there in the blazing heat (yes, thats blazing even when the sun gos down (at least for me seeing as its winter back home)), and here I am aiming for my 100 points (is it now 200 ???) which will earn me the right to head out clasping a bowling ball to a shindig in the desert .. though I might have got that last bit wrong, must be heatsroke, I did venture outside today without my firesuit on for 5 mins :)
Heres my thoughts / experience on Doha nightlife so far:
It MUST exist, i think its all a matter of breaking into a circle of mates, in which case you can be on teh far side of the moon and still have a blast (uuuhh, .. as long as they serve moonSHINE on the dark side of the moon) :)
The trick seems to be the above, step one. Now Ive had an absolute blast in some of teh spots mentioned in the previous posts, but have to admit that although theyve been entertaining (propositioned by ABBA clones in Sheraton, alomst blown off the 20somethingth story in a freak gust at Skybar (and im not a small person), almost set alight at Pearls trying to convince the barlady that flame was essential for a particular shooter (seems alcohol and matches are illegal as a combination here ?? .... and this list goes on and on) none of the above has resulted in a circle of mates eager to go for round 2.
Now I'm the first to admit that going overboard is not necessarily the way to attract a second invite, (particularly here where its more likely to attract the removal of a body part), but are there any unconventional spots on the Doha radar screen ?
