Dune Bashing
Thanks to Bala's friend!!! We almost that we had no life other than work here. Slogging our butt off in this hot place. No retreat, no reward no nothing. The only solace was you get Indian food and you should not complain because that will keep you alive
I was to take KT from another resource and had arranged for the same knowing that well my weekend is stashed, if not in office , but in hotel apartment.But there are only a few things here in doha that work with you while all others are always against you. At the last moment it turned out the KT guy packed to office, leaving me in apartment.So we braced reality and we were planning what to do next, when Bala's friend called. He has been in Doha for more than two years now and we figured if thats the case he would have a car( mind you , not having a car in doha is like a disability). So after some calls , he pulled over. With him we had the first dose ob>f fun in doha
Villagio: Though we had heard a lot about this mall, it's designed only for tourists. The whole mall is designed like a Italian village/street with all the lights and sound ambience. If you listen intently you can also hear birds chirping. There is a canal and some boats to ferry you across. All these days i had seen such images in movie studios but seeing in real is a treat. Apart from the ambience and AC :-) there is nothing much of value here. The food courts are expensive and suck.
Dune Bashing:We took a trip to sealine along the desert to get a real feel of what desert is.Qatar boasts of some impressive sand dunes, reaching heights of nearly 50 metres.So we set off and boy what fun it was, you can spend a thrilling afternoon racing up sand dunes and navigating your way down the other side.. Though our car was not a quad, we were so tempted to get that going.. but it was real fun...
