Thanks!
Monitoring the splash was interesting.... But yeah, fairly clean. Plus they had a faucet with a bucket sitting there. Just in case. *My toes are a result of my pedicure in Dubai last week. :)

That's a lot of firsts for you
Hello Pookie Thanks for the blog post. Although I'm sure it was difficult on the platform at times, it sounds like you learned a lot and I bet you will be able to apply what you learned later in your career. The Ventucky crowd is very proud of our little Pokerbot. Cheers, Romsa

Traffic
Have you been to Sumatra? Sumatra has the worst traffic I have seen in any of the 40 something countries I have been to. I like the idea of the food in Doha, at least from what you describe. I haven't been there yet, except for some stop overs at the airport on my way to Thailand. Must read more blogs about Doha and decide where it should be on my growing list of places to hopefully manage to get to in this lifetime. Though, maybe I should put the bad traffic ones at the bottom of the list, so I don't shorten my lifetime before making significant progress with getting to the places on my list. :)

Traffic and Doha
Yes, I keep hearing about how much worse traffic is in other places, specifically India, Turkey, Lebanon etc. What I really don't like here is the attitude. It's not just about traffic, crazy streets and little traffic structure - it's this mentality of "I am willing to kill you just so I can get to the mall a minute earlier" that is upsetting. As for visiting, right now there is very little to see, but in the next few years, there should be a lot more to make a full visit somewhat worthwhile. The population has grown so fast here that accommodations are short; hotel prices are VERY expensive. So, I'd recommend doing a long layover at the airport and take a few hours to visit either the Museum of Islamic Art or the Souq Waqif where they have ethnic restaurants from all over the middle east - these are pretty much the only tourist destinations at the moment. And they are worth it!

Great photos!
Thanks for sharing the wonderful photos, buttercup. It sounds like driving is always an adventure there. It seems like it would be fair to say if you can drive there, you can drive anywhere. I really appreciate the update. We miss you, pookie.

Wow!
Good rant! It's good to get it out. Just keep yourself safe and don't let those idiots kill you. Your food pix are great, not that I could eat any of them....but at least your getting out and trying stuff! Sounds exciting!! :)

It takes a lot for me to lose my cool but being in crazy traffic like you described would have me in tears without a doubt.

Daily routine
Yes! The crazy thing is this is a daily occurrence, it just got me yesterday for some reason. Every now and then it happens - it just still shocks me that people behave like this. Plus, almost getting killed probably had something to do with my tears... :)
