It is always nice to walk around the Katara . Last night even the weather was nicer than usually . Not so hot and humid as we were walking among the buildings with a bag collecting sweets and nuts .
As we arrived to the first station of gift collecting there was a big pushing crowd made up of adults rather than kids . I was shocked to see that wealthy looking people were ready to go so low for obtaining some free nuts and sweets .
The organizers were scared themselves and they escaped back to a building behind them and locked the doors .
I think only kids should be allowed to go for the gifts and they should have waited in lines for their turn . It is clear like sun that people around here should be trained on how to form lines and wait in lines .
So it was a suitable occasion to train my kids about it . We did not join the pushing crowd . We walked on and soon we found another gift collecting point with a few kids only . After they got their gifts and they wished to have a look at them and taste them .
So we sat at the Karak &Chapati restaurant and we were relaxing .We were served fast . That was something new there .
After that I wished to see the exhibitions around us : we saw calligpraphy inspired paintings /antique Qu'ran exhibition and photo exhibition of the Qatar Photographic Society .
Unexpected , we got a box of sweets there and a free professional quality photo of our kids with Garangao baskets .That was so nice of them ! We did not even have to push in a crowd as only few people came into see the exhibition .
A lots of pretty traditional Qatari / other Arab folk costumes that the kids were wearing made this event more colorful . The dunes by the Katara were enlightened by star and crescent shaped lights .
All in all it was a nice experience ...
