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... :)

Once again, awesome pictures
Hello Pookie Those are great photos. I'm quite jealous of your roadtrip. Do the goats ever run across the roads?

Travel
That's a good point Steve. It is just hard to adjust to. And yes, I think Istanbul and Muscat are my next two weekend trips when I get back from the US.

I would imagine that kindness in that culture could be construed as weakness. Yeah, you should definitely check out Istanbul, and travel more while you're there.

Man, you have been busy!
Hello Buttercup Wow, what a week. You had a lot going on. Can't wait to see you in March. Send more updates when you can. I should be able to pick you up from the airport, so we can talk about that in late Feb. Cheers.

Cool apartments!
Thanks for the pictures, buttercup. The apartments look awesome. Great place to hold a poker tournament. And thanks for sharing pictures of the shopping area. I bet the people watching is great. Hope all is well. You are still missed at the VPT and the TPT.

Great pictures!
Hello Pookie Thanks for being awesome. These pictures are great. I have to admit, I am super jealous of the cool things you get to see (the dunes and car graveyard look really, really interesting). I miss you and hope this finds you well. I'm looking forward to seeing you whenever I get to see you (soon, I hope). Cheers, Romsa

I know you say those pictures don't do the terminal justice, but to my eye, that is one gorgeous terminal! Those elevators are amazing!

Happy New Year!!
I stayed in on New Year's Eve too! Didn't feel like a big fuss, was quite nice to be home with the dogs! I'm loving the Qatar landscapes, very otherworldly! Super happy you're enjoying your work so much!!

Wow
I guess people here just don't decorate their cars for 4th of July. But imagine if they did. With all they hillbillies there'd be a ton of crazy cars distracting people from driving safely.

Pretty beach!
Hello Buttercup Thanks for sharing the pictures of your trip. The ocean looks beautiful. Did you go in the water? Was it cold? How long did it take you to get there? I hope all is well in your world.

Amazing
Looks like an east coast beach town...well, until you see the very Arabic features of it. But good weekend getaway nonetheless. I'm with you on the buying cold weather gear...I definitely need to do some serious shopping to get back to Ventucky life cause it's cold!! But my blood will thicken, and I'll get used to it. :)

I was an engineer on a long term assignment, first in Dubai and then in Qatar. During this time, I took advantage of my nice paycheck and proximity to other places to start seeing the world. After three years, I decided to take a much earned break and traveled for a year. After working about two years in New York State, I am on my way back to Dubai.... full info
