Appreciation-Nation: Qatar


(I didn't take these pictures)

It's December 18th, Qatar national day! Here are some things we can appreciate about Qatar:

1- There are countless amounts of 'Only in Qatar'!

2- Everything is always a big deal! including you (you can easily be significant). Events are always a big deal: Doha tribecca film festival, Asian Games, FOOTBALL games! Qatar national day, New restaurants!..etc

3- It's always hot/or good weather compared to the rest of the world.

4- Karak

5- It's Safe & Secure

6- It's a developing country - heaps of opportunities

7- Qatar avoided financial crisis - and GDP rising.. ok i'll say it..i really appreciate the $$$$$!

8- Gas is cheap

9- if you have a land-cruiser you rule the streets of Doha

10- Aspire Park, Corniche, The Pearl, West Bay - kind of nice places to enjoy scenery and to jog

11- You never run out of hot water!

12- The nation and culture pride - Qatar knows how to hold on to its character and values

13- Diversity

14- The skyline view

15- There's just alot of sugar! if you're a sweet-tooth, you're pretty much comfortable!

16- Tennis tournaments

17- You can reach anywhere within half an hour (except with traffic..but with max 1 hour on average)

18- It's very collective - you barely see someone walking alone- always surrounded by friends & family

19- the Calls to Prayer

20- News travel around really fast! So you'll know immediately that Josh Hartnett is in Grand Hyatt before he goes there!

What do you appreciate about Qatar?

Shukran, Appreciated,
