sknox40- Im really glad to hear that you are enjoying it here in Qatar. You are absolutley right when it comes to the all the different venues they've got around town, such as the Qatar open, Moto GP, etc as you mentioned above. That is one thing that I truely love about Doha (among quite a few other things). I have met people from all over the world here and it has been fascinating to learn about all the different backgrounds and cultures you have here in Qatar. Keep on enjoyin' life. ;)
