30th April:
When you have been living in a bit city for almost a decade you become used to the buzz of London, or for me, become a social butterfly....well with so much to do you can't blame me. When you arrive somewhere where it's the complete opposite, all you have is time.
I deceided to explore the area where I was living and so went to the local mall, City Centre. It is Doha's oldest mall and has a mix of stores - you feel like you're in the 80's and then you see a Bo Concept with uber modern furniture...bizarre. Anyway, I took a walk in the breezy evening and then came across some interesting buildings....tell me what you think:
I also found these giant grapes - have you seen anything so big (grapes wise!!):
1st May:
Today was my first day at work. My boss picked me up from the W and drove me to the office. I was surprised how modern it was, clean, white, spacious. I also met the team, nice, friendly people and they all seem pretty welcoming, though not quite Ketchum, but let me give it time!
So this is me in the office and a collegue of mine:
Oh and the food is great, service slow.....my lunch was a fresh piece of grilled salmon....yummy!!
Now back to the hotel, made some chicken and resting before day two! Watch this space.

Dude,
ReplyDeleteNighttime buildings look good and very similar skysraper style skyline to dubai etc.
Office is looking modern and a bit sterile but its usually al about the people so i'm sure you'll liven things up a bit - once you get going...
Hard to judge how monstrous the grapes are given we have no context (rookie error) but will take your word for it...
On the plus side you have made a massive increase in your blog photos in terms of spotting signs of life (yes real people) - given that the first set of photo's seemed to indicate you were the only person in Doha!!
Keep the posts coming my good man...
Well yes, I guess a slight error with the grapes - but you get the gist LOL.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah...there are real people around here - will take more - I am invited to the residents tingle & Mingle so will snap away!
Will update as I get new images!
