3 odd things I saw:
-A man in a car next to ours waved one of us off as we were to take a picture—no animosity just a warning
-There are cranes everywhere
-Much more exiting architecture than I am used to—huge cement branches, glass-windowed pearls with conference rooms inside, sails, latices…
3 odd things I heard:
-When our student activities guide came here 3 (or 6) years ago, there were 4 towers in downtown Doha—now there are over 60
-My first animals! Birds in the inter-eaves of the mall we visited. I think they had chicks.
-A pleasantly dry wind around Doha all day—not an aggressive, just a warming/cooling wind
3 odd things I thought/felt:
-I felt less intrusive than usual for not carrying a camera
-I started to feel oddly exposed not wearing a head-dress—some men were staring at us/me in the mall. It was probably because we were talking loudly.
-So happy to be in the sun again
