Doha is growing on me :)

I know I'm really behind on the updates!

So sorry to keep you all waiting. I wish i could say my life has been super exciting but it really hasn't. I was in India for three days. Had a blast but came back with a nasty GI infection. I did lose weight though. Albeit not in the healthiest way. I could not keep anything down or in... I actually thought i was going to die. I'll spear you the gross details but i will say that it left me super weak and I am only now regaining my strength.

Doha really is beginning to grow on me. I'm starting to feel more settled. I'm making friends and doing more social stuff. I decided to do one fun thing a week and one event a month. My event for this month was a techno beach party at the Intercontinental hotel. I had a blast. Got drunk off my ass for the first time here in Doha...and was a dancing maniac! I danced so hard my ankles were swollen the next morning. :) Actually i spent the whole weekend recuperating.

I'll be heading to NYC in a lil less than a month and I am really excited to see my friends, family and eat pumpernickel bagels! YES i found bagels here and they taste pretty good but they only make plain and sesame. I'm hoping to buy a dozen pumpernickel bagels and bring them back to Qatar. :)

I'm really scared of the intense heat the summer brings...it's may and it goes up to 108 degrees around noon. I attempted one day to take a 10 minute walk to the cafeteria...the sun is so intense my arms and face started turning red. Now i understand why the Qatari women wear the black abayas and cover their faces with the Shayla. The sun can freaking melt your skin off if your out their long enough...I learned my lesson and now drive to the cafeteria. :) you really do end up driving everywhere esspecially for things that are a short distance/ walk away.

I'm trying to get the slideshow up so i can have pictures but i can't seem to get it working. :( I will hopefully get the pics working soon.
