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 . . .

Reflections of 2015
And with that another year ends. Time to look back on 2015.
On the road, western desert, Qatar
Halloween in Shibuya, Tokyo
Not many places could get away with a window display like this, but you can in the Red Light District of Amsterdam
A quiet moment at the Blue Mosque, Istanbul, Turkey
At the beach enjoying the weather. Vancouver, Canada.
Can you guess which country this is in? No, not Canada. No, not that country you are thinking of either. Antwerp, Belgium.
I made a new friend. At an owl café, Tokyo. (I love owls!)
An auction of vintage goods, Souq Waqif, Doha
Not every trip is about fun and games. Sadly this is just one of many such graveyards in and around Ypres, Belgium.
Chilling in a alleyway bar, Amsterdam
Watching some kite flying, Mudanya, Turkey
Why am I wearing cat ears and saying, “Meow! Meow!”? Because I'm at a Maid café of course! Akihabara, Japan.
Window shopping in Brussels, Belgium
At the new Hamad International Airport in Doha.
Who buys these? Who thought this was a good picture to sell cookies? Naturally this is Japan, specifically Osaka.
At a street concert. Ghent, Belgium
A coffee at Souq Waqif, Doha.
A beautiful light display. Kuwait City, Kuwait.
No, these princesses aren't in Arabia. This is another picture from Halloween in Shibuya, Tokyo.
Come to the light everyone! (snicker). Me wearing an Arabic thobe and gurtra. Doha, Qatar.
Staying out of the sun. Bodrum, Turkey.
A beautiful morning walk. Bruges, Belgium.
At a shisha café. Tokyo.
Happy new year everyone! Here's hoping for a good 2016.
