I am so impressed with your will to participate on this topic. Like QFire said...I was only seeking a rapprochement betwwen two cultures. Today was my partner's birthday.We went to the Marriott. Next to us was a Qatari guy with his partner. Guess what happened? We ended up moving to their table with our food and enjoyed some funny jokes.

See what I mean. There should be a willingness from both parties. At the end of the day, we are both human beings.

I went to join his table without fear that I find in other of my folks. Even all the other hotel staff found it strange how we ended up on the same table. Finally, after exchanging phone numbers, we fought over who should visit his friend first...

We should all make teh effort to integrate with other culture so we learn more about the other culture and they too learn and admire mine too.

Like Aisha Taweela was saying, I find Qataris very nice people, have a sense of humour and the guy made us laugh so much. Had a good time tonight.
