probably an obvious statement, but worth making nevertheless.

In terms of countries close by and based on my recent experiences, Dubai definitely has the best expat scene with Bahrain a close (but not too close) second.

Lets hope we get a few more nightspots in Doha to cater for brit and other european expats - whatever happened to the planned opening of a Trader Vics? the one in Bahrain is a pretty cool place and full of european expats!
