I know that you have mentioned before that you are from the Middle East (or your family is; can't remember which); are you originally from Qatar? When I was in the Navy, I spent some time there as well as in the UAE.
Hope you have a nice (and safe) trip. Look forward to enjoying your posts when you return. | | |

| Well This is my first chance to post since i arrived, its 4 pm here so its about 4am for you guys, upon arrival there was a sand storm in Qatar, so ZEE German captain (which we couldn't understand for jack said we had to circle for a while cause SAND was on the runway. We were supposed to make 2 stops 1 in Bahrain to unload some people & the 2nd in Qatar, but ended up Landing in Ad Damman to wait out the strom for an hour and a half, then Since the storm was still strong in Bahrain they flew automatcially to Qatar.
They really built this place up in since the last time i've been here (14 years), they are trying to make it look like Dubai, And they are rich enough to do so.
They driving is horrible, They have round abouts everywhere, and nobody likes to let you in plus No blinkers are ever used. They have maids in every house hold and they range in prices, Indians, indonisians are the cheapest and Philopinos are the most. They cost about 5-700 hundred Reyals a month which in Dollars is $250. it may sound Like Hardcore cheap labor but to them $700 reyals is like 2000 in there countries, and its there government that makes this possible. Minimum wage is looking Great from this point of view. I thought you guys might think that is intresting, when i found out how it worked i was amazed cause when i was younger i had no idea thats how it was.
Everyone here Wears Those outfits that You see the Saudi's wearing that George Bush befriends. when are cousins take me and my brother out The people love to stare, and I feel I dont get treated as in equal even though Im Palestinian. But I suppose when They come to America wearing their cloths they will be treated even worse. I haven't had any problems cause we always flash a lil Stack of money to let them know we are loaded but We always get Eyed from every corner. I havent had a chance to take Pictures but I have lots of Videos, Of buildings, Stores, Round-a-Bouts, The Mall with the Ice skating inside, the Gulf sea, My Uncle and dad playing cards and Fighting(They are doing it RIGHT NOW, Screaming like mad men in Arabic, Amercians would think an attack is coming.) and much more. We have reserved 4 chalets On a Private beach, and plan to Ride horses and Dune buggies. I got a lot more to say But the Maid is ready to Clean the Area and we are gonna go smoke Shisha (In Amercia HOOKAH with flavored tobacco) I'll get many pictures but in the mean time someone please Post info on how to upload photos from my cpu to the Site so when i get it Ill post them Quick.
Peace from the Middle East  (I've never Drank so much Tea in my life than i have in these past 5 days) | |

| Oh yes, Twango. I actually use Twango instead of Photobucket. Twango's site runs so much smoother, Gee, I wonder why  | |

| Dude - that's awesome. Thanks for the update! Very interesting stuff. I can't wait to see the photos and videos. Keep in mind that you can upload videos to Twango too so we can check those out too.
Hope you're having fun and thanks for checking in!  | |
