New Home etc..

The New Digs

I knew going into my interview with ASD that the school would provide rent free accomodation. We just weren't too sure what to expect. We were really pleased when the school forwarded pictures. This gave us piece of mind. The villa we are being given is 5 bedroom and a 5 minute walk from the school. There is no furnace and no ducting. There are wall air conditioners mounted through out the villa. The furniture is nice and the beds include 1 king , 1 queen and two doubles. We purchased egg carton foam as the matressses over ther are apparently quite hard.


this little hut is.... wait for it ....
The maid's quarters! Lenore
Insists we fill it!
We were also able to buy a new vehicle from a family that was heading back to the US. Infact we purchased a TV, vacuum cleaner, blender... This is a good thing to do as all the voltage outlets over there run on 210 V and you need a transformer to run any N. Amer appliances.

The local mall is pretty cool its called the Villagio


Yes that is a canal with gondolas, I'm not sure if the gondoliers are Venetian or not... but it wouldn't surprise me if they were.
Doha Scenery...



You can Golf... If you can afford it
Natural Sand traps I believe...
