Thanks so much for the responses! Hope we can get together for a party or two in the weeks to come.
Sorry, I should have shared a bit more about our situation. I'm Canadian, lived in Dubai 3 years then Shanghai 5 years. I speak Chinese. My wife is (you probably guessed) Chinese. We've been in Canada about 2 months and she is bored out of her mind. I'm worried she's going to feel even more bored in Doha, so I'm desperately trying to find something social for her to do. She wants to study English, so that's part of the answer. I'm not sure where we will eventually be living, but for the first month we'll be near the Pearl. She wants to find the Chinese community in Doha, which I think is cool, but I'm hoping she'll come out of her Asian shell and start living a more international life (which means speaking English).
Anyway, yoga and cooking were great ideas. I will definitely pick up that Marhaba magazine when we arrive and she what's on offer.
Kathy, that would be awesome! You guys can be bored out of your minds together. :) (Just kidding. I'll shoot you our mobile after we get there.)
Colt45, yeah, I'm going to try anything else before I try that, mate! ;)
britexpat lol! When we get there, I won' t have a mate to my name. Suggest a bar and I'll get first round. How's that sound?
Zanzibar, thanks! I will get her set up here. Guess I'll have to monitor that inbox, though. lol!
Rubsty, definitely going to check that out. Thanks!
