Re: Moving next week, any last minute advice?

Obviously you wear the tee underneath your shirt/sweater/abaya whatever you choose as your outerwear in November in Qatar, in place of the bra. No one else needs to see. I think you know that Alexa...

Re: For everyone asking about cost of living in Doha

Couldn't stand all that stuff, I got my kicks frightening the locals with my dog and fighting for first off the mark at Decoration roundabout at rush hour. Driving was the best buzz...

Re: For everyone asking about cost of living in Doha

Re: For everyone asking about cost of living in Doha

Re: From Texas to Utah

We used to go to Sandy for the mall/shopping sometimes. Not sure about living there, a bit too far out of town, a bit bland, probably family friendly though I don't know how Mormon it is. I liked...

Re: From Texas to Utah
