Qatar is NOT some backward desert country (for those of you that might assume it would be.) It is one of the most desired vacation spots in the Middle East, and one of the fastest growing commercial construction locations as well.
Assuming (and HOPING!) that your work won't put you in harm's way (ever/very often/at all?), you're entering what's probably one of themost sought-after jobs in that entire part of the globe right now. Well done, Chain!
As for their Internet access: Your timing is spot on, what with the bidding war to rewire the entire country within the next 18 months or so!
Maybe you should start your own sub-board in these forums so you won't have to check all over the place when you can chat with us (such as it is in board-posts!)?
Anyway, with just a
little hesitation I'll say Well Done and Good Luck, Chain!
