just a piece of advice crusoe...just be yourself. don't pretend to be someone that you're not. in the end, it will show who you really are. qatar is a nice place but there are days when you're really, really pissed off about these country.
a lot of europeans in here, i guess, so you won't be feeling lonely and bored. loads of extra-curricular activities around especially now that ramadan is almost over. for sure, you'll fit in just fine. have fun---just don't break the rules :-)
welcome to qatar, rob!
