So I received a call the other day from a friend of mine letting me know that he was getting married (in 3 days) and he invited me to his wedding. That you receive short notice is standard for a Qatari man's wedding, typically you find out a week or less in advance. If you want more information on how Qatari men's weddings work, click on the "Qatari Wedding" tag on the bottom of this post.
So off I went, here's some pictures that a colleague and I took. I didn't ask the groom if I could post his picture on the blog so there are no pictures of him:
The groom is sword dancing in the following picture, he's in the crowd, wearing a black bisht.
And here's dinner . . .
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 . . .
