Am confused cos your profile says you joined QL over a year ago! I think those of us who arrived in the summer are homesick because it's too hot to go outside and we're feeling cooped-up because we're used to an outdoor life. We arrived just three months ago and I miss going on hikes, playing sport on the beach, cycling along the country lanes, etc. but I tell myself that when Qatar weather is cooler there'll be loads of things to do outside too... Also, the money here isn't great - I left a beautiful home behind and wasn't expecting the rent to be so extortionate here...(most companies have NOT increased their rent allowance by 300% in the past two years to keep apace with the local rates!!).
