Numbers in Qatar - 8 tonnes of dates
Cool-de-sac or indoor playground in the Pearl
That was a new place for me . It is in the Pearl not far from Novo cinema . This is an entertainment center with restaurant for kids .
It offers soft play areas ,slides ,lego building station , face painting ,computer games ,play stations ,painting . The age group they expect is from tots to 12 year old . However my 10 year old was a bit bored .Most of the kids looked preschoolers . The thing that I liked at this place was the number of hosts and hostesses calling the kids by their names and ready to play with them . We might have been in the middle of a party because every half an hour a dance or game was initiated by the hosts . After all my 10 year old had a good time but not sure he wants to spend his hard earned pocket money here next time .
The entrance fee is 55 rials for unlimited time .That sounds reasonable . But it is trap .The cheapest drink at the restaurant is 10 rials .And the nugget-fries meal for kids is 35 rials and despite the title "gourmet restaurant " it was nothing special -just the usual nugget meal . . You are not allowed to bring your drinks or snacks . If you leave the place you are not allowed to go back .So do not arrive hungry or thirsty here otherwise you will pay a lot for traditional junk food .
I met there someone I had known before and it was so difficult to chat because it was too noisy . The face painters did a great job - real artists work there . The staff is mixed - Europeans and Filipinos .Both were nice and welcoming ,patient with the kids .

What about art ? Exhibition of Contemporary Chinese Art
All that I can say in advance - I feel sorry that I have not visited this exhibition earlier. That would have given me a chance to return and see everything in details . It was huge - the size of the exhibition , the diversity , the visual delights , the spiritual message .
China and art ? I think of ancient clay sculptures ,fine decorated porcelain , ink paintings . China and modern art ? I knew nothing about that - I must admit . Right as I entered I saw a lots of clay sculptures so many that I forgot for a moment that it was contemporary art and believed they were ancient . In fact they were the creature of a Chinese villager who discovered the artist in himself only some years ago . His sculptures featured their everyday life in realistic style . People and animals in the village . Street scenes ,interiors , and abstract shapes .
His art was interesting and exciting . Never let yourself to be labelled ! One can be a villager , a retired farmer and can be an artist at the same time!
The second room was an installation by Xu Bing . An ancient image painted on a scroll was remade in huge size and the painting of the modern artist was enlightened on a transparent wall . At list this was the thing that I thought at first . Then I looked at the other side of the wall and I saw that it was a collage made from junk ! It was so wonderfully made that I could not believe . And the message is great as well - the junk rearranged by a creative spirit can be the most wonderful thing .
The wrinkly and inky effects unique to traditional Chinese painting were made of different materials from the junk . Things like feather ,mud ,plastic bags were turned into a landscape collage . The title was Background story . The artist is Xu Bing .
Then came video games room the Flower - it was about some petals starting their journey from an urban home's balcony to the wild . The video game was directed by J . Chen and originally intended to arouse positive feelings in the gamers .It was a real zen experience .
Then came a room with a short film about street bullying - that was quite depressing -also the photos of a remote village and their traditional celebration in black and white .I always must think about traditional dog and cat eating in China . It was not mentioned that they are eating this food but I had made those association when seeing dogs around the villagers .
The opera room featured strange looking black and white lamps with painted walls and shadows .
It was OK a bit depressing but something that was specific -I mean related to the Chinese culture .
The water tank was of a size of a large room and full of dirty looking water . There was hose in the middle hanging from the ceiling in the shape of a loop . The water hose once in an hour started its crazy dance -it looked like a very long and savage snake splashing the dirty water on the windows . This installation was the work of Sun Yuan & Peng Yu .
When I entered the sakura room ( I named it like that )it was nice to look at the beauty of nature the soothing pink blooms of the trees on large paintings .
Another pinkish abstracts made it feel like heaven .Or under heaven ? It was a three d painting - the colors were applied to the canvas by a pastry bag . They were amazing from far and tasty looking from close . The artist must have been inspired by a fellow cake artist !
And there were six or more rooms to see but I got tired physically and mentally as well ...
That was nearly the last day of the exhibition . When I thought of it after I would notice that I learnt very little of the Chinese culture .

Out of it QR150 can be spent in a restaurant . It will buy a modest lunch with sandwiches and salad .

Aquapark review 2016 July
So here I am again .Ladies day at Aquapark . Prices at QAR 180 per person . Five star hotel price ! Safety lockers extra QAR 30 !
Are the facilities five star as well ?
Sad looking changing rooms .Wet walls ,peeling painting ,very small to change comfortably .
Lockers are better . We get no keys but a waterproof bracelet that opens our lockers ! Wow !
Dress code - they claim that we have to respect the local culture . What does it mean ? No details given -only a note that the management got the right to expel anyone whose swimming attire is not proper . Not very welcoming .Not very professional . They should explain well and kindly what is allowed and what is not.
After reading all that I was scared .I had a one piece swimming suit without leggings .Will I be expelled ? When I entered the park area I saw a lots of women covering up with long sleeved swimming suits with leggings . Then I noticed a few who wore bikinis .I got relived then .
The lagoon pool was the first pool I tried . It was cold - I was shivering when came out .It is a luxury here in summer to be cold . It is good that they care . Hot water can be the source of a lots of kinds of infection . The bar inside the pool did not work . I swam there and had a little chat with an African lifeguard . She informed me that some facilities - bars /restaurants can not work during ladies days as they do not have female staff .
That is sad . The lagoon pool is a place that is shallow at the edges and deep inside .
Some years ago an 8 year old temporarily unattended boy drowned in it as he did not believe his bigger siblings that it was not safe for him .After this tragedy you would suppose that they watch out for it would not repeat . But what I saw was very little kids playing at the edges of the pool - mothers are chatting 20 meters away sometimes yelling at their wards .The lifeguards did not care ,either ... :(
I do not remember any sings either warning for swimmers that the pool is deep in the middle .
After the lagoon pool swimming came the lazy river . This is a bit boring for me -sitting in those donuts and getting around ...my neck hurts after ten minutes ...
The wave pool is my real favorite .It is a real thrill .Jumping up and down in the waves !
It was quite an exercise . It lasts around ten or 15 minutes . I am not sure . But I found it too long and I left before the end . Though I loved it -just I was exhausted .
I was pleasantly surprised that we do not have to pay extra for the huge slides .So I tried one . The smallest one .It was frightening . The speed was too big ! I was afraid of falling out !How much my heart was beating after that ! I decided that no more slides this summer . Or at least no open slides !
The day was nearly over . Remembering their poor quality of food I ate well before arriving . Just the crepe stall was so much tempting that I decided to stand in line . I had to wait for a single crepe for 20 minutes ! It was nice a bit dry .
The Aquapark was not crowded .The age group of the visitors was from totes to 60 - young adults were more than old ones . They have some facilities for disabled customers so one could see some guests in wheelchair as well .People behave usually respectfully. I met only one group of teens who were so loud and so disrespectful that I had to ask them to chat in a lower voice while waiting for that crepe . They were chatting in Hindi ... Very unusual here - Indian women who are residents here are usually well -mannered !.Every nations got spoiled kids I thought ! Then it turned out that they were Hindi speaking Malaysian girls visiting Qatar . Even though they are just humans like anybody else !
They answered in a very rude way to my request and they jumped the line . Luckily the staff was sympathetic with me and served me before them .
All in all - though not a perfect facility but Aquapark is a fun place in Qatar . Ladies day is an expensive but enjoyable occasion to have a carefree afternoon . But please do not think that your kids are safe just because there are lifeguards . If you wish just to relax here then rather leave your kids at home with someone you trust ...

Indian man drowned in the sea at Khor Udeid
It was a tragedy that happened on the first day of Eid . The cheerful picknick by the sea turned into a nightmare when four or five members of the same group was dragged into a whirlpool .Locals pulled them out of the water and everyone was revived but the Indian expatriate , Thomas John .He had been living in Doha for 20 years .He was 45 years old and came from Kuzhikkala, near Kozhencheerry in Kerala’s Pathanamthitta district.

Kosebasi Turkish restaurant -review
I was there on the second day of Eid . It is on the first floor of Gulf Mall . I wished to have some festive Turkish lunch . As I arrived at this place I saw a large menu with photos displayed at their entrance and I could read the prices of individual dishes . I stood there minimum five minutes studying the options ,making plans of having some kebabs and salad . A kind waitress invited me inside the restaurant . She was so polite ! I nearly fell into their trap ! Only when we were seated she informed me that there was only one option that day " Set menu for 100 rials per person " What for they display the menu if they forbid a la carte dinning ? I was quite upset . After some seconds of hesitating I gave up the idea of Turkish lunch . Never again Kosebasi . I am so happy that there is a new law against this practice that customers are forced to buy more dishes than they wish . Next Eid when the law is implemented it will be regarded as a simple crime -a punishable act. Today all that I can tell you about this place is they have unethical way of treating customers !

fasting for the first time
Zuzana , the Czech student in Indonesia is fasting for the first time in her life / though she is not Muslim but she has a lots of friends who are - so she decided to fast with them . She says it was not as difficult as she had thought before - the most difficult part was not drinking .
In Doha also there is an event where non-Muslims fast for one or two days then they gather for a charity dinner .Nice example how people of different religions can show respect to each other .
