wait a min...you working in defense. and your coworkers pushing exotic cars?
Do you yall mind posting pics of your cribs or the typical housing for Americans living there? I'm curious what housing looks like outside of those big ass million dollar condos we see on tv.
Basically whatever. For example if you get in a car wreck with a Qatari it's your fault. You know why? Because if you were not in this country they would not have had that wreck
The guys pushing exotics are Qatar Air Force officers. The officers are Qatari's and bank. Back in 2011 they got a 120% alone
"Military personnel will see a hike of 120 percent, effectively retroactively as of Sept. 1 in accordance with Emiri decree, QNA reports"

It's really just a basic apartment, the only difference is they have them little bidet/butt sprayers attached to every toilet.
On another note I do know people in the defense industry pushing some clean whips. Aston Martin Vantage, 911, GTR, M5, Camaro ZL1. Things alone those lines. Don't know anybody pushing a lambo or nothing.
The defense industry pays when you are with the rite company in the rite location. Only thing is the everything is based on defense spending basically.

How do they feel about the whole Syria situation, the Russians and other middle easterners
That’s not my business and I don’t care to know so I don’t ask or talk about that stuff around them
Living all depends on your company and what you can afford if your company is not picking up the bill 100%. I had an apartment on top of a 5 star hotel for a few months and I just moved to another hotel recently. Not as nice as the one I just left but it’s good enough for me. My previous place had to much stuff going on in it (clubs, lounges, etc.. Gets old after a while). I do miss my clear view of the Persian Gulf though.

How hard is it to have casual sex out there? Do you have to be super discreet about it? Can you get in trouble if you get caught? Are you and a woman allowed to show any affection in public?
Nah sex is about the same as at home If you can pull back home then you can pull them here . I'm not hurting by any means. I just wouldn't start kissing a female in mall or anything. Like 90% of the people here are foreigners so stuff is going down. I don't know if you would get in trouble but I wouldn't do it out of respect for their culture.

nope, and nope again
No and no but it would be very beneficial if you wanted to work for a local company out here. I know and American out here that got a minor in Arabic while in college and he does pretty good out here.
