  4. I remember going there with you on one of my first visits to Doha. It was definitely a bit of “down home” Doha – I wonder what will happen to it now!

  5. Thank you, Ansam, I am so relieved when someone else finds the same things funny that I do.

    3baid – and there isn’t even a palm on the island – how bizarre!

    Glad it grew on you, Ansam. πŸ™‚
