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.
