As requested by Da Boss, here are some pics from Qatar:

Pic 1: The normal look you would have expected from a Middle East country.

Pic 2: The King's (known as Emir) Palace.

Pic 3: The soon to be completed zig zag building.

Sorry for the blur pics, i'm taking it inside a moving car

. Will take more pics soon, whenever my dad is not busy with work and have the chance to go to the city.

From the looks of it, I'm guessing this one is for work???

if not mistaken, they are next to each other, but from the picture's view, i think it is behind the work place, and i din pass by it on the way back home.

but not much difference between the work place and his real home, i guess Qatar is a more "westernized" arab country compared to Saudi Arabia.

i guess there will be several pubs around, coz more than 50% of Qatar's population consists of outsiders, a lot from Philipines and India. and also the building's structure, it looks more modern. besides that, unlike Saudi, Qatar do not make it compulsory women to cover their faces when going out to public.

provided it's not in summer where the temperature can go up to 45 celcius, Qatar is quite a nice country to spend time for vacation. the traffic will drive u crazy, though.
