Both Sides of the Gun...

Well, I didn't think I'd post something from Doha -- but, my German neighbours have just started a blog based on heir time in Doha, so, I figured I should pull-off 'atleast' one update. I wouldn't want to lose the client-base I've managed to develop over this year...

Their blog is, of course, in German. So, don't be shocked when you read "Die Doha 2006" -- it actually means "The Doha 2006"...

It is odd that the Germans use "die" as "the"... I mean, it really adds more to that stereotype, I m sure...
For all you know, Hitler was just misunderstood. He must've probably just meant "The Jews" -- and everyone thought he actually meant "Die Jews"...

The picture is Hardy (really nice German guy), Rehan (who has also travelled from Dubai), Christian (my villa-mate, and a fairly temperamental German) and myself, of course.
So, Hardy and Chris are two extremes of the German culture, I assume.

Work is great -- the Asian Games, much like any other hallmark event, is really about a lot of organization culture. The people I am working with are great during day-light hours. Once alcohol enters their system though... (fill in the blanks)

I've had too many seminars and venue tours over the past 6 days -- so, I m mostly very dazed. I am sure most people think I am weird by now (something I was hoping they wouldn't discover for at least another 2 weeks)...
I am the youngest on the sponsorship team -- however, perhaps not the most immature =)

Have a browse through the German blog once at least for the photographs though. The feline pictures are of the kittens our office has adopted ever since their mother ditched them. I know one if called "Promo" based on the name of our office -- "Dentsu Promoseven". They've also put up pictures of the basketball venue we've been to. I, unfortunately, can't put up the pictures I've clicked so far -- but, once I am back, they'll be around of course. I've got a few real good pictures on my trip so far though.

So, that's all for now --
