I stopped off in Dubai for a while, looked awesome. Definitely want to go back someday. Enjoy your holiday!
Hope all your traveling is smooth & your holiday is grand. If you see Jesus himself somehow … no high-fives. They didn’t have those back then, he won’t get it.
ok im outta here! Happy Holidays everyone!
Later FunkyBee!
well, i made it here safely, but my concept of time is totally thrown off!
Holy Crap!!
I didn’t know Qatar & NY were only two posts apart.
The weather is beautiful here! We just got back from the mall because my mom forgot her bathingsuit. There was a big Christmas tree in the middle of the big fancy mall, funny for a Muslim country. We also had starbucks.There’s not a whole lot to see in Doha. Its mostly all contruction. This city has so much money they don’t know what to do with it. In the city center there are all these skyscrapers, and none of them are done with construction. Other tidbits, it only costs 8 bucks USD to fill up a tank of gas. If you are caught with drug you will spend 6 years in jail, and if you commit any other crimes they will cut off your hand. Now we’re off to the beach and tommorrow we are headed off for a few days in Oman, a more authentic Arabian Country.
those mother fucks, 8 bucks to fill up the tank, jeebus
better be safe out there funk, or you’ll end up with no hands and in jail
FB have you seen anyone walkin’ around without a hand?
This is fascinating, FB hits the Middle East. Wow.
For some reason, I was thinking along these lines too.
I heard if you roll your eyes at another person they cut off your hand. If you scoff, they cut off your foot.
Needless to say, sarcasm does not exist in the Middle East.
that’s some brutal shit.
i mean, think about it. getting your friggin hand cut off…
dayum!
gives me the willies, it does.
I actually believe in The Code of Hammurabi.
Cutting off hands… YIKES! I mean, YIKES! Hows that for a justice system! Once again, YIKES!
Funky went to the other side of the world to go the mall, LMAO!!!
Hello everyone! Well today was a bit different. I was awoken at 4am by the Call to Prayer at the nearby Mosques. It was kinda freaky, it sounded like ghosts. and it was in surround sound since there are a few around here.
We were supposed to go to Oman, but my sister confused our departure times, so we are heading out tommorrow morning. But anyway today we drove up to the tip of Qatar and then back down the other side back to Doha. Highlights included a boring fishing town, where were told a pearling industry used to take place. A stop at a garden oasis, that was pretty mellow and we saw a kid with a tshirt that said Alcohol Fueled Whoop ass machine that made us all laugh! Then we had a picnic at the beach which we off-roaded to. When we finally made it to the very tip of Qatar it was a bit anticlimactic, but the view was kinda neat. I think we were able to see a Bahrain, an island country where Michael Jackson used to be a citizen. Then we drove back down the west coast of Qatar. On the way we saw another abandoned village (many people left there villages to head for the big city in the 70’s when Qatar struck oil). Then we stopped at a fort built in the early 1900’s, then we saw a camel. You would think there would be lots of old stuff lying around since this particular area was a part of Mesotamia aka The Fertal Crescent, where the dawn of civilization began. but whatever. Tonight we are BBQing at my sister’s place and then we’re going to the Souq (the local marketplace).
So FB are they kindly to Americans? Is the city fairly westernized? Like… I don’t know, movie theaters? I can’t imagine any strip clubs. I mean how strict are they there? Do the women cover themselves up? From the sound of it the country is not too extreme.
I’m all sorts of inquisitive.
You better be taking lots of pictures, Funk!
