Living in the center of Doha there is always a construction very close to us .Behind us ,next to us buildings were completed .It was not a dream to hear from so close how a building is made . But they were made and for some years there was silence . Then in front of us the old villas were destroyed and a six-story building was erected ....nearly completed when the local authorities caught them . At least I think that is why they stopped . I was always afraid to go out when they were working . No one worker was wearing safety ropes - I was simply afraid that they would fall on us a day .
Since that time when I try to feed my picky eater at lunch time and I am sitting near the window I see Faza Police passing by and checking out the building from their car . My little child who refused the lunch one day got scared from the word "police' - he was hiding under the table in fear they would catch him :)

Going to the Al-Sadd emergency with a sick child is not fun but I am always grateful to see how much child centered they are .Nowadays they employ someone whose job is just to guide the new-comers around . This is very nice . Yet there was one thing I found very strange . CCTV - the Chinese news channel was on at the waiting lounge .In the country of Baraem , Jim channel why on the earth we must watch Chinese news ?

During the recent diplomatic tensions the big and powerful neighbour allegedly threatened Qatar with closing the borders and not supplying the country with their food products anymore .I was thinking about it . No more Al-marai labneh ,laban and cheap custards ?No more Sunbullah paratha ? How can we make do without them ? Will there be shortage of dairy products and poultry ?And if so then which country will happily bring its products here ? Turkey ?France ? Any other idea ?
