Me and my wife are from Bury in Manchester and we have lived in Qatar since 2010. Thank you for posting such an honest account of your stay so far. We and all UK ex pats have noticed over the last few weeks the negativity of UK news media and we are sick and tired of it. You and a few other KZreadrs and bloggers are spreading the truth of how it is. If you need to go somewhere good for an evening beer, I suggest the Irish Bar in the Sheraton hotel. You will need to wear jeans as shorts not allowed and need your passport to get in. Also if you want a good mixed grill meal, Turkey Central is a famous fast food eat in restaurant. It’s not the cleanest of places but you must try it. If you need any advise of help, please feel free to ask me. Regards Robert and Jean Cassidy from Manchester, Qatar residents since 2010.

If you want to watch a football match, welcome to Qatar, but respect Qatari law that prohibits lgbt symbols, the problem is that LGBT groups force other people to accept them, and other people also have right or have the freedom to reject LGBT too...

Your points are valid ones. Just a couple of things though, Qatar backtracked on its promises to allow messages of support in the grounds. Also its getting ridiculous as to banning training tops and a coloured t shirts.

Really enjoying these video diaries, especially as someone who worked and lived in Qatar and Dubai in 2006-2009. I went to a club match in Doha in 2008 and never would have imagined they could host the World Cup, but it looks like you're all having a good time there. It's amazing that these myths about these places are still around. Even back in 2006 you could go on a beach and wear shorts and so on.
