Farhan and I invited all the residents in our compound to an Arabic get-together in our clubhouse. “You can ask about everything related to Qatar, the culture, heritage and our way of life. You can ask me about the things you don’t like asking others. I hope you feel comfortable asking me.” This way Farhan opened the event with a smile on his face and a very comforting tone.

 

We drank Arabic coffee and served dates to welcome our guests. Later on we ate Arabic food with our fingers from big plates sitting on the floor.

 

We heard about life, death, religion, traditions, development, children, men and women in Qatar. It was a very interesting and informative afternoon.
