moving back to qatar ...have lived in doha before - 10 years ago so expecting big changes! what is deal on bringing in dvd/cd re censorship. Things used to blacked out etc and would rather not take chance of customs keeping dvd's, can just put them into storage. are magazines still blacked out?
are there any decent gyms now?
thanks

Shorty ...No more censorship. You can bring in all dvd etc. No more blacking out in magazines. Lots of change since those days. It all started when the Emir Sh. Hamad bin Khalifa took over. You will be so surprised. We have road signs, enforced traffic laws and radar on most junctions. However most newcomers are still complaining about the lack of so many things. But for you it will be a big change. Welcome back.

Aisha ...Good job they weren't in Qatar when there was only "The Centre", "Salaam Studio" and "Blue Saloon", only 4 hotels and no bars.
Then they would complain.

coming back ...Thanks aisha,
Another quick question. Coming from US so need to buy all new elec items again, can you get GHD hair straightners in Doha? Can buy in UK before I come but will leave if can get in Doha at reasonable price.
Surprised at lots of negative comments about living in Qatar, I loved it before but maybe things have changed. Used to be most of socialising done with friends at parties etc and the odd night at doha sheraton. Maybe lot more young singles there now and not much for them to do?
