I am in my late 20s and will be moving to Doha soon. I was a little worried i was going to be the youngest guy in country allmost. How did they find the social scene? Meeting new people etc and simple things like going to the shops,cinema etc?

Thanks

I am happy to see that certain people make the most of and do like Doha...

For me I like it because it made me appreciate that there is a wonderful world out there, like Dubai and also other places outside the Middle East.
Sometimes we take the world for granted...

They go to the W on a Wednesday, and have meet lots of friends through work. Kim is 21, and Ash is 23 both are having a great time here. If you do come over, P.M. me so that I can arrange an introduction to them both and I am sure that they will be happy to show you around. They often go to the Cinema, and we have pool parties here at our condo. BBq's etc... Obviously it's Ramadan here at the moment so we party in each others houses.I hope this helps.

I did forget to say you will need to be 21 to buy booze, or enter clubs. ( They always ask for I.D.) but I am sure that you will have a great time here. Keep an open mind.

Hi Guys I haven't been around for a few days. I am really ill. I have picked up Amoebic dysentery, apparently we have an outbreak of it in Doha. I was questioned yesterday where I have eaten in the last few weeks. I will put a warning up in a moment on another thread. I have been to hospital and was given painkillers plus fluids. It's very serious, and I am extremely sick at the moment. When I get better I would be happy to meet up with you all.
