In 2006 I moved to Qatar and things are not what many people in North America would expect - it is not like how the Middle East is portrayed in the media. I'm also a fan of skepticism and science so wondered how this works here in Qatar. Since I'm here for a while I figured I'd use the time to get to know this country better and with this blog you can learn along with me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So what posts have been popular recently . . .

Revenge of the Secret Ministry
It looks like the Ministry is monitoring this blog, I tried to drive out this morning only to find construction had blocked all the roads from the apartment building! Well, one 1-lane road was open, but a massive truck decided that would be a great place to stop and slowly offload construction equipment.
It took me going the wrong way down a one-way street and going over two sidewalks to get out of the neighborhood. Better luck next time Ministry! :P
By the way I just got back from West Bay, City Center mall is still closed. No word on when it will reopen but dohanews is reporting that many workers are there trying to get the fire saftey enchancements completed.
