My stay in Qatar has come to an end. It was a series of ups and downs just a microcosm of life I guess.
I went to Africa and found the love of my life if anyone wants to know. I have decided to follow the Oil dropping to the next major Middle Eastern black gold mine. Where were we ….yes Qatar for all its optimism and futuristic construction and love of entertainment and ambitious future its still sits squarely in the heart of the Middle East. It’s too hot and Islam will always be at the center stage of this land and its culture. You adapt or just don’t come here. If your American get used to the British invasion, there everywhere and there not the most flexible characters you’ve ever met. That’s all I will say because I don’t want to generalize because I have meet some cool Brits also. But they got there share of narrow minded greedy assholes. Maybe it’s the American swagger that bothers them. But they like to hate on us sometimes. So like Sun Zui says when at peace prepare for war…When at war prepare for peace..The Arabs are your least of your concerns because they don’t hide anything they come straight at you with their intentions because this is their land. Phillipino’s have helped me plenty here in Qatar because they speak excellent English and they have huge numbers in the Middle East its always strength in numbers. So make friends with phillipino’s that have been around for a while. Indians pull lots of strings also their numbers are huge in Qatar but that is a much tougher network to crack for various cultural reasons. Language being one of the main factors. Oh yeah, my Arab friends are the best. I find myself listening closely when a Arab friend of mine from Qatar or Lebanon or Egypt decides to depart some wisdom on me because there opinion is one that is sometimes given to us by the media and not coming from the people themselves. So that has been such a good dialogue. Well who know what the future brings..If it brings you to Qatar I hope that my experience here has done some good for someone somewhere. The ball keeps bouncing and and every year a new champion is crowned. This years champion was Spain…the runner up New2Qatar. Peace from the Middle East.
