I am in Qatar for work-related meetings. This is my second day and still no luggage. I had to go cloth shopping. Traveled half way around the world to go to a mall 🙁
Tony Hey and I went swimming to the sea today, just outside the Sheraton Doha hotel. It was fantastic. Swimming in December 🙂
This place is interesting; it’s like a city-wide construction site. Apparently there are 400 skyscrapers under construction, with work continuing throughout the night (as I can hear from my room). The Education City they are building looks impressive, from an infrastructure point of view. I do hope it’s successful academically and commercially. The Qatar Foundation has lots of plans.
Now, don’t ask me about how I feel about the way money is spent on projects like “The Pearl” instead of making life better for millions of people in underdeveloped countries.

So Savas, how do you feel about the way money is spent on projects like “The Pearl” instead of making life better for millions of people in underdeveloped countries.

I was about to ask him the same question!
