Doha... Qatar

Another 4 days in this little but pleasant Arabic place.  Well, I should probably not say that much, there is plenty of tragic things here too - but all in all pretty well-ordered society if you compare with other places on earth.  Personally, I have a very luxurious stay when I am here.  People are polite, interested and generally very nice. You feel safe. Cannot say I know society - because I do not, it is obvious that down the ladder of pecking order, there are quite a few very unfortunate souls. Nepali, Pakistani, Indian and Filipino, for instance. But do remember that not all of these peoples just mentioned are unfortunate.  For some, this is better than back home. even if the job is not that well paid and the hours too long.

I have been here so often now, that I feel ashamed I know not more than mere three arabic words.

It is hot still - around 38 degrees, but getting cooler by the day.
