For the ignorants, they haven't really seen the future plan for Qatar. Qatar 2022 bid is not a show off, it is to prove to the world that this country is capable of doing wonders. Ever been towards the construction area in Lusail, seen their master plan? Read about the metro and Qatar-Bahrain causeway plans. The inter-country trains and worlds longest mall (ok..thats a show off). Anyways, there are places you can go for recreation. Sports stadiums exists everywhere. I personally find Qatar as entertaining coz a country is not made up of malls or entertainment parks, it is made up of people. People you and I interact with on daily basis. As for investing money abroad, it reflects on the Qatar economy, which is strong and steady! Every country has it's flaws, but that's not this country's weakness!
