darude! ...From your statement I see a great opportunity to open a mobile shop!
Somebody in the forum was looking for business idea about a shop
in the main high street.
May be they hijack this idea?
what do you say darude!
Sinned:
Thanks for you info..More than the info, the picture is very captivating.

Hi Mak ...Actually we have many mobile shops and am not sure what DaRuDe is referring to. However, there does seem to be a local preference for Nokia. I have had Nokias, a Moto, several Samsungs, a Siemans, an LG (which I hated), and several Sony Ericsons. I currently am on my 2nd Imate and am pretty happy with it.
When are you arriving in Doha? Hope you'll enjoy yourself.

Mak1, I still contend you ...Mak1, I still contend you have a very big choice.
Darude, BenQ bought Siemens mobile phones a couple of years ago which is probably why you can't find them anymore.

Hi PM ...Thanks for your greetings!
I am most likely to land in qatar by the 4th week of August.
Our visa is still being processed.
I have just paid the school fees (Pretty High!) for my son.
Hope everything goes well.
PM said
Insha'Allah all will go smoothly ...at least you will avoid that prolonged heat exposure!
The private schools seem to be pretty good -- even outstanding, in terms of teh education they provide. AT least that is what I have noticed among my own uni students.
Feel free to send a pm if there is any way I can help.
e46M3 said
But the fees are sky-high. ...But the fees are sky-high.
Mak1 said
Yep!..e46M3 ...You are correct.
School fees are very high in comparison with the pay structures.
Intially we were happy that there is NO Tax.
But afte seeing the school fee I feel that this is one form of tax.
Thank god, that I am getting accomodation provided by the employer.
Otherwise..the stealth tax will be around 50% of the salary!
