which apparently is the trend here. Can't compare with Dubai. It's as if you're not in the mideast when you're there. If there was link by rail to Dubai, it wouldn't be surprising if a few expats will be left here to spend their weekends.

But how come Qatar couldn't, or just wouldn't, hire those PR hot-shots doing a great job in Dubai. Obviously what they got here are faux. What seems to be the problem? Where does the money for PR go...?
