Qatar pt.I
So. Where to begin. Well...
We took an airplane to Qatar, obviously. The airplane was pretty cool. We flew Qatar Airways, which is said to be "World's Five Star Airline." We were each given a little bag containing the following: socks, earplugs, a toothbrush with an ITTY BITTY toothpaste, headphones, and a little eye mask. Cuuuute. We also got hot towels and blankets and pillows and a little piece of candy. The food on the flight was quite good. I had an Indian dish for dinner and an omlet for breakfast on the way there and on the way back...wow, I can't remember for the life of me what I had. Anyhow, the flight was 12 hours there and 14 hours back (Jeeettttt streeeeaaaammm).
When we got there we took a short trip to the souq (marketplace) for dinner. We were all totally wired, excited, and hungry. We ate at this restaurant that served various foods (wow, you don't say!?!?!) Truth be told, that first day was pretty much a blur....
Here we are at the restaurant ^
Hmm...then the next day. Oh! We went to the pearl, which is the manmade island in Doha. It's pretty cool, and very chic. There were so many high end designer shops. Lots of Armani stores etc etc. We got drinks at a place called Second Cup, which I believe is a Canadian Starbucks type place. Unfortunately my camera was on the fritz all day, so I didn't get pictures of the pearl. LAME.
But then I got my camera fixed up at the supermarket! Here's the picture that the camera man took of me:
Yup, that's in the supermarket. Looks like a Best Buy, right? They fit in basically every food there, European, American, Asian, and Middle-Eastern. And this supermarket was in the mall.
That same day we spent some time in the mall (not the big one). Here's the food court:
The mall had a huge circus themed food court and children's play area. Also a movie theater. What a mall.
Oh, here's a public toilet:
ooh...what a lot of blogging. I'll work on more qatar later...

Herro There
Well, I've decided that I really should keep up with both of my blogs. I guess if I just keep up with them then ideas will flow out of my mind like crazy flowing things. Two blogs are better than one? Perhaps.
The other day a fellow asked which program I wished to get into. I said commarts because I want to write a graphic novel someday. He replied "get rid of that dream really quick" which kind of hurt my feelings. I mean, he don't know me, ya dig? He suggested that I make a web comic, which I agree would be a good idea. Maybe I'll start one of them things. We'll see.
Oh. So I just remembered that whoever reads this blog is probably partially interested in my trip to Qatar. Let me start another post so that I can talk about that a little...
