How did you find QatarLiving.com ?

Saddavi's picture

I was looking to adopt a dog and was browsing carelessly when suddenly found Xena's article about adopting dogs which she had posted on Qatar Living.

Later on I joined QL.

I really thank QL for all the nice people and friends I met here.

And what about you? How did you find QatarLiving.com ?

Cornellian said Once upon a time, Corne was ...

Once upon a time, Corne was ridding her horse through the forest when suddenly she saw a small path leading into the depth of the forest. Curiosity got the better of her and she decided to venture into the unknown. Excited yet nervous, she lead her horse on the path and kept going further in...and then suddenly she found it! She was looking all her life for this treasure and somehow the universe has lead her to it. It was then and there that she vowed to keep to protect the treasure with her life. And from then on Corne never left QatarLiving out of her sight, and they lived happily ever after. The End.

I was researching on the subject of Pole dancers and came across this site.

I found the pole dancers in Qatar, one week later and very living, one night in the Ramada hotel.

They had a live DJ contest in the Cube and they had brought some gorgeous female dancers from Dubai. I got the pictures to prove it and the set up in the floor..... Too bad no lap dance.....LOL

qatari's picture

qatari said Over two years ago, there ...

Over two years ago, there was some really fantastic event that happened in Doha
and I missed it. In fact, I didn't even know about it until sometime afterwards.

So I thought to myself, wouldn't it be rockin' if there was a website where friends could post the latest and greatest about life in Qatar
? That way, together, we'd unearth all the gems that life has to offer in Doha.

And thus, Qatar Living found.

The rest is history!

I found QL through googling for such a site. I was active in the expatriates in Saudi Yahoo Group but couldn't find such a group here when I first came here. I was sad.

But then I stumbled upon QL and was overjoyed!

 

Greeker's picture

Greeker said Heard it from a friend.. ...

That there is this website run by an intriguing person called Qatari...who hides behind a Transformers mask...

The first attempt to join in was a disaster. I posted a thread and NONE gave me a reply. I wasnt exactly thrilled. I gave up on it. Months passed and i decided to try again. So i gave my name in as Greeker and later added a green head as signature. Voila, i was in. And that was when i discovered that QL was a fun site.

Have been addicted since. I am yet to meet Qatari, but then well, i am in a long queu of people who would give their right hands to know who Qatari is. Well, i guess i will have to live with the suspense. But well, lemme tell you, the suspense is worth living every moment.

It has been a good journey so far. I met people i would never have met otherwise. I can count the blessings from QL on the fingers of both my arms, legs and still be left with more. Thanks QL. Thanks Q.

How i thank god for the day Q missed those events... Had it not been, well, i wouldnt be talking right here, right now, would i?

Mila's picture

Mila said I found QatarLiving by ...

I found QatarLiving by accident browsing in Google while I am still in my country almost two years ago long before I moved to Doha. Then Novita also informed me about this website and all click together. Very helpfull and resourcefull link for anything about Qatar/Doha and beyond.

I love this website. Thanks Qatari and Ahmad to make this happening. Keep up the good work!!!!

 

jackmohan2007 said qatari ...you are on the spot. ...

qatari ...you are on the spot.

Doha although a small place it is still very easy to miss some very big events.

Maybe because people work long hrs.

Maybe because of less advertisment.

But now with QL not one event, I repeat, Not one event shall be missed.

Not only will the events be informed, talked about and reported but they will also be photographed & uploded for all to enjoy.

I guess thats a pretty stupendous achivement for an Individual to do for his Country.

Yay, Qatari.... as I have said many times before....

 

Ram's picture

Ram said How i joined QL? ...

I was looking around for the oppurtinities and range of salaries of vb.net programmers .. when i found some westerners talking about offers ..

actually the funny thing is they were not concerned about the salary or the offer .. they were concerned if they can bring their dog along with them or not ...

for example i remember one lady was saying "I offered a job and the salary is around 26 Qatari riyals but i don't know shall i accept it or not .. am i able to bring my dog with me"

I was like we r dying here to find better jobs and good salaries and she is concerned about her dog "with all my respect to her dog"

so i signed up to be sarcastic with this lady .. lol .. yeah it's funny .. may be not but that is how i joined QL ...

after that i learned a lot of things .. specially from this website .. started to have friends and meet up with them ..
the most things i learned was:

1- The more i meet people the more i love my dog "May be that's why the lady was concerned about her dog"

2- Friendships "When u r falling may be ur friend won't be able to pull u up but at least he will try not to let u fall down"
This is friendship and thank god i have REAL GENUINE friends from QL

I learned how to love my life and satisfied with what god has gaved me
whenever there is downs there is always ups .. whenever there is sun there is always tomorrow .. whenever there is thirst there is always COCACOLA ... hahaha .. i love the commercial song of COCACOLA ...

baedaebok said Multicultural soup at QL = QL-tolerance ...

It is quite amazing how QL people from all parts of the world can share opinions and chill together. People do come from different countries with a range of different governments and cultural expectations but learn to adapt. Of course there are hiccups when peoples' backgrounds or expectations clash (e.g., my over-the-top post in the illicit relationships thread, discussions about driving, what's appropriate to wear in Doha, what's racist and what's not, or what's important in a job). Nevertheless, I call this willingness to accept others' opinions "QL-tolerance".

If this QL-tolerance could be transferred to more workplaces, then Doha might be a happier place to live and work in.

Found this site when i googled Qatar....Thanks to Ahmed and Qatari for a truly helpful site to newcomers to Qatar. However when i found QL, i found the Queen of QL Novitta who is the most helpful, informative member on QL. No doubt there are many helpful members here but Novitta spends tireless amounts of time and effort in answering people pleas for help, which is a godsend fo people who know nothing about Qatar. She helped me heaps with many questions before i arrived here. THANK YOU NOVI......
