I had only ever seen one dog during my 5 years in doha, so I considered it quite fortuitous. I mean what are the chances? Anyway, whilst looking for a clump of grass to wipe my shoe on, or an appropriately sized twig to dislodge the offending mass now making me walk on my heel; I fell into a cunningly placed hole. I think it quite aptly summed up my time in Doha.giasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16846817340446027655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062806278483377538.post-10067442986513708392009-11-05T09:08:35.695+00:002009-11-05T09:08:35.695+00:00Passing taxis are hooting again, with all the peop...Passing taxis are hooting again, with all the people who have left Dubai, they're having to compete for business again.

I enjoyed many a memorable walk during early days in Dubai, past the Paranormal to Satwa, down to the beach, to the Creek and through the DIY souk, to Deira City Centre and more.
