I absolutely embrace Qatar. It's such a great experience to meet people from so many different walks of life with so many stories to tell. I'm not sure why there are hate mongers out there. Why stay if you hate it? I know, I know, some have to fulfill their contracts, but only to "reup" again? I would venture to guess that they are here simply for the money. I'm here for it all. You never know what adventure the day might bring. It's a funny world out there, and I find it quite refreshing. I've just been here a little under two years, but feel like my tolerance and understanding of other people has increased tenfold. I hope I continue to stay in my little bubble on this side of the world. :)
