Thanks for those of you who have commented, very encouraging. Especially Ram, your answer seemed very heartfelt. And also I guess thanks to those of you have have refrained from commenting in a negative way.
Looking forward to endless sunshine, I hate the cold, although I love winter fashion.
The last time I lived away from NZ was Dublin, Ireland. Like every expat does I guess, I moaned constantly about the things I didn't like. People were rude, buses never stopped, no-one could understand my kiwi accent, I wasn't used to living within a class system, the endless vomit on the streets drove me nuts, the marmite was a funny consistancy and weetbix was called weeta-bix (weird). Then I moved back to NZ and found myself missing things, the diversity of nationalities, the dry Irish humour, Pat the window cleaning man who always made me laugh and actually said "top of the morning", amazing live music from street buskers to regular pub gigs.....
I really wished I'd taken more notice of these experiences at the time rather than just focussing on saving euros for my "real travel", so I'm hoping not to make the same mistake twice, sometimes its good to point out the seemingly obvious.
P.S no offence to any Irish folk reading this, I love you guys!
Don't any Qatari Locals have nice things to say??
