BACK HOME
I get home from Doha 2 weeks ago ... i thought it will be nice come back and see all the things that i was missing, now i can´t avoid compare everything with Doha, anyway some things never change and this is a list of 3 things that i love and 3 that i hate in my little town.

LOVEEEEEEE
1.- The weather ... september is so beautiful, is still sunny in the morning just in case if I want go to the beach (but no, I don´t want go I am a capuchino skin girl after 3 months in Doha), 25 degrees at nightime, perfect time.

2.- The food !!! I can eat the dirty meet (as BF sayd) everyday and is so cheap, rice, beans and po** chops just for US$1,00 (i did not try that place i went to the US$2.50 one, which is still cheap and soooooooo good).

3.- The taxi, lots of them, 5 or 6 in my corner everyday waiting for someone to pay only US$1,00 to go somewhere, and yes !!! only US$1,00 (the minimun rate for 10 minutes driving).

HATEEEEEEEE
1.- The politicians, we are in elections time, electing new President in October, the number 10 in the last 5 years, is so frustrating see all the candidates, one worst of the other ... i don´t even know half of the 17 candidates, crazy to see how they make fun of the people´s hope. Arghhhh i am already mad again.

2.- Driving, if we think drive in Qatar is crazy because the traffic, i invited you all to come and drive here, no traffic at all but every road has a big holds (like a volcano´s mouth), so you need 6 eyes and driver skills to don´t kill yourself, i always prefer take a taxi ....

3.- MACHO MACHO attitude, yeah i know ... coming from a latin country i used to deal with this since a was born, but nope i don´t, all woman deserve been treat with respect (maybe same as Doha, lol), here is so hard when the average is 10 woman for 1 man ... and what is the normal excuse :

- It was her fould, she kissed me !!!
- She is not my girlfriend, we just have a son/daughter together
- It was not me, it was my cousin (same face, same body and same car ... RIGHT !!)

And the macho macho comments :

- You have to stay in home, i will go out with the guys (and the girls)
- Why you get drunk, you are a lady !!
- Don´t go out with that top, i can see you boobs, change it or we stay in home !!

I can writte about the macho comments forever, but maybe that will be subject for another post.

From my latin country,

Latingirl
