#StrasbourgaimelaFrance
Strasbourg citizen and citizens have reacted to the unthinkable that happened on November 13, 2015.
In this video, they express their feelings, their refusal of hatred and desires for the future of humanity. In speaking with an open heart, they call for everyone not to panic, to preserve the unity and defend diversity.
#StrasbourgaimelaFrance Honors the victims and their relatives. It is also a call to the responsibility of everyone at all levels of society: citizens, political, educational, associative, media ...
Other cities, other places, in France or elsewhere in the world, do not hesitate to take over and continue the initiated movement.
For everyone's safety, for the respect of all, to live together now and in the future!
Insulting Messages -6 months jail
There was an Arab woman who rented a flat somewhere in Qatar . The man who let her the room asked her a day to leave . Then for revenge this woman started to send him insulting messages on WhatsApp . The man made a complaint at the police and the investigation found her guilty.
She has to pay for what she had made .Six months jail and 20 .000 rial fine .
I still wonder how someone can be so stupid to use the electric devices for such purposes . One can be easily tracked down . I thought that every little child knows that .
On the other hand this case illustrates how important is to find a good affordable accommodation in this city and how difficult it is !

Escaping the city - Wakra beach
When one is fed up with the city can escape within ten-fifteen minutes from Doha to find oneself close to mother nature .The small town Wakra got a shore with shallow water - not suitable for swimming at all - but locals call it a beach .
It has got a small mangrove forest and one can watch birds happily singing in the bushes . The other day I was so lucky - it was low tide and a small patch of land was filled with white birds . Gulls - I guess . From time to time they flew up and down in waves and the wonderful sight of the vibrant white wings enchanted me for some seconds .I wish I knew more about those birds and the reason they got together that day !
They were far and I could not focus on them with my simple camera .
However this miracle made my day !

Quick Lunch at Le Notre - French cafe
The wonderful November weather was so inviting . The terrace of the Le Notre French Cafe was a perfect spot for an urban outdoor lunch .
Le Notre French Cafe
It is located on the busy Suhaim bin Hamad street - but it is well fenced and somehow one feels protected . The valet parking is free . The waiter at the terrace was quick to take our order and we got the sandwiches within ten minutes .
I had consulted their menu online but it was completely different from what I have found on zomato.com . The dishes were unexpected and prices were very high for main courses -around 100 rials . So we decided to take some sandwiches instead a hot meal .( 50 rials )
Mini baguettes with tapenade&butter were served as appetizers .
My sandwich nicoise came with a small bowl of rocca salad and some crisps . The sandwich itself was tasty -some tuna spread &vegetables though it did not come in ciabatta rolls as it was described on the menu but in a simple burger bun .
The mille feuille was a bit too sweet to me and the vanilla filling tasted a bit commercial .
Service was very polite and quick .

Swine flue in Qatar causes yearly 5 -10 deaths
The victims are usually elderly people with weakened immune system and over 80 or 90 years old .Many parents got letter from the school - they informed the parents that there were 3 swine flue cases in a school in Doha -all 3 kids recovered luckily .They ask the parents to teach the kids about sneezing etiquette and keeping them at home in case they have flue like symptoms .
Vaccinations are available in the Health Centers .
(and the sun is shining -it is easy to get ourselves protected by sunbathing in this nice spring-like weather )

Qatar Strongly condemns Paris attack
— MOFA - Qatar (@MofaQatar_EN) November 14, 2015
I do not usually share government's twitter messages .I do it now as some fearmongers spread the false information that we are happy to see the terrorist attack in Paris and we celebrate in the Middle East . Nobody celebrates - every Arab feels that it was made to blacken the name of the Arabs&Muslims .
Please -do not fall for the fearmongers !
