Default How many more Malls

In Doha??

Hubby has found four for me already, and am exhausted thinking about walking round them all!!
Malt, he found the Hyatt and thought it was fab, Landmark too.
Now he is searching for some cheapie sunglasses but can only find expensive ones (he says) lol
Bet he is looking at designer ones.

20 days to go Malt/Novita & I will be out there joining him.
Eldest has just passed his driving test today, hello Independance, goodbye my car.

Can I be the person to coin the phrase Doha Donna?

As that place evolves, and there are more mall-hoppers, you'll need to have something to call them!!

All I know, its a beggar of a job getting to any of the malls at the moment. What the heck were they thinking this week? They pulled up another roundabout on the way to hyatt. It used to take me the length of one 'James' song to get there from my house........now I have to take the opposite direction, turn back, go round.........etc etc etc.......just to go get a starbucks!

whats the world coming to? us expat wives have hard enough lives already!
