Qatar!

So I'm here at Doha, Qatar again. I arrived around Sunday 11 PM Doha time = Monday 3 AM Bangkok time = Saturday 4 PM DC time

All I know is that I am going to be incredibly jet-lagged when I finally get home! I have no idea how I am going to be awake for my summer classes. Oh god physics.. I'll worry about that later. For now, I am concerned that I have a very long time here in Qatar which is cool but exhausting. Waiting is exhausting. You have to wait around constantly at airports. Waiting alone is lonely. Which reminds me..

Everyone in Qatar has been so friendly and nice! I met this cool Persian/Qatarian (is that how you say that?) family really randomly. Ever since I lost my cell phone somewhere between Cambodia and Vietnam, I've been asking around for time a lot (as in, I'm really good at pointing at my wrist). Well, I asked this man in front of me and it led to a conversation which led to other conversations. And then I met his whole family (well, his wife was really quiet and hiding in the cloak so I couldn't really see her face either). His kids (12 year old boy and a 14 year old girl) started feeding me snacks and talked to me about everything. The boy really wanted to talk about soccer and I am proud to say I held up my side of the conversation because I've been following the games as of late! Well, actually. I've been sort of watching the games because I can't understand anything else on television and soccer is one of the only sports I get really into watching. I tried to watch Thai soap operas and I tried to watch game shows but I just can't understand the language enough to enjoy them.

My brain is going dead now. I'm at the first class lounge. It's pretty nice. But some guy keeps talking to me. He has poor flirting skills. His lines are so weak! I have to save all my best lines for Taurz. Soon! Well, I think I'm going to go to sleep.
