1 Week in Doha

Bijna 1 week ben ik nu in Doha, Qatar. Bevalt het me? Ja zeker!
Vooraf had ik natuurlijk toch een bepaald beeld van hoe de stad zou zijn, hoe het leven zou zijn en hoe de school zou zijn. Al mijn verwachtingen zijn eigenlijk positief overtroffen!
Tot nu toe heb ik vooral erg vriendelijke mensen ontmoet en de gastvrijheid van de Arabische cultuur is erg hoog. Europeanen staan hier redelijk hoog in aanzien dus worden hier overal ook goed behandeld.

Wat de mensen hier erg graag doen is naar de winkelcentra gaan. Je hebt hier twee grote en moderne shopping malls. Hier gaan de mensen heen om een beetje rond te lopen, eten, vrienden te ontmoeten etc. Het nieuwste winkelcentrum is helemaal gebouwd in Venetiaanse stijl, heel grappig! Alle bekende winkels zijn er natuurlijk ook te vinden. Zoals een Louis Vuitton winkel, een Adidas Store, een Footlocker maar ook de McDonalds, Starbucks en Pizza Hut kun je hier vinden.

Villaggio Shopping Mall

Woensdag hebben we onze stranddag gehad. We hebben een ‘private taxi driver’ die ons overal naar toe kan brengen. Vlak bij ons appartement (Deur uit en de hoek om) zit een mini supermarkt. Hier hebben we de 2e dag gevraagd waar we het makkelijkst een taxi kunnen krijgen. Nou zegt die man, wacht maar even. Hij kijkt even naar buiten en roept een bekende die daar rondliep en vroeg in het Arabisch of hij ons niet even naar het shopping centre kon brengen. Geen probleem, en voor 20 QR (4 euro) waren we met de taxi in het centrum. Terug naar de stranddag. We belden onze taxi driver op, en zeiden dat we graag naar het strand zouden willen. Geen probleem. Na ongeveer 20 minuten rijden waren we al een aardig eindje van het centrum weg en vroegen we ons af waar neemt deze man ons toch mee naar toe! Maar het blijkt dat er in de stad zelf geen strand is. Dus heeft deze man ons meegenomen naar een strandje net buiten de stad. Mooi is dat hij ons praktisch in de zee afzette, omdat je gewoon met je auto het strand op mag rijden! Ruim een half uur rijden was het, dus vroegen we ons af ‘hoeveel moeten we deze man nou geven?’. 50 Riyals hebben we hem geven (10 euro) wat natuurlijk niets is. Het strand was erg rustig, bijna verlaten. Maar in het weekend schijnt het wel erg druk te zijn. We hebben onze voetbal meegenomen naar het strand en daar een beetje gevoetbald tegen een groepje Afrikanen die ook op het strand waren. Heerlijk zeewater overigens! Lekker warm :)

Hmm.. Lekker :)

Na een paar uur op het strand te zijn geweest hebben we onze taxi driver weer gebeld en na een uurtje was hij weer bij het strand. Weer teruggekomen bij het appartement zegt de man ’20 Riyals is ok, because you already gave 50′! Onze mond viel bijna open van verbazing. We hebben hem 30 riyal gegeven en vriendelijk bedankt.

Groeten vanuit Qatar!

Niels
