manyana - if i am not mistaken that is called 'creative cooking"-grins
alex- sorry to hijak yr thread,there is a group of kite surfers that is pretty active but the person that i know has already left qatar , not sure of the rest but they are still around tho,
as for dune bashing/camping well i do organize trips with friends and we do make it twice or 3xs a mth(weather permitting that is). so for now am waiting for the weather to improve some then will start our dune trips/camping (it is so much fun i tell ya)
so hope ya find yr way around and get to make lotsa friends in the process-cheers mate
