My Nancy Ajram concert experience in the Mall of Qatar

In a nutshell, I saw the lovely Lebanese singer on the screens on occasion.

  That was my experience, as well as hundreds or thousands of other people who, like me, could not fit into the small arena of the Mall of Qatar.

Zahma is the Arabic word for crowd . It could be heard everywhere: on the metro, in restaurants, and in cafes.

It was a strange idea to invite this extremely popular singer to such a small venue.

Not only was it a small arena, but  the  concert was also free, with no pre-registration required.

In 2018, attended a free concert by another Arabic pop star, Cheb KhalidIt was much better organized event that will always remember fondly.

Enrique Iglesias - Doha Gulf Club - October 21 2022

 


Prices range from QR 350 to QR 1500, with only a few more expensive types of tickets available to those under the age of 21.


This means that a university student here under the age of 21 can only go if she can afford the QR 800 rial ticket.

That is crazy !

I don't know where it took place. It doesn't happen very often here. Was it a wild animal or a pet that someone let loose?

Kindergarten closed after death of 4-year-old student

The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) will close the private kindergarten where Minsa Mariam Jacob, 4, died on September 11, 2022.

When a KG 1 student from Springfield Kindergarten in Al Wakrah died after suffocating in one of the school buses, it shocked the community and made people angry.

When an Indian girl about the same age died in the same way in 2010, many people said the punishments were too light.

Five year old died in school bus in Japan

 

Kawamoto China a little five  year old  was left on the bus at Kawasaki Kindergarten in Makinohara soon before 9 a.m. on Monday. NHK sources said she died before noon. Masuda Tatsuyoshi drove the bus that day. He apologized Wednesday. The girl was located shortly after 2 p.m., laying at the foot of a third-row seat. Her clothing were on a seat near the entryway.

This terrible  thing happened in Japan just week before the tragedy in Qatar.
Now I've read that a device is being tested to make sure that no one gets left behind again.

It's fine—I think of it as an extra thing.  It's not hard. Before getting off the bus, check it three times.


But more importantly, employ those who have a heart for kids!

Tragedy on school bus - 4 year old died in Qatar

It's a horrible death. Perishing in a hot vehicle. It's similar to being cooked alive.

The story is brief. There are two people who have been paid to inspect the school bus.

 A driver  and a   bus  helper   but they  did not do   their  one-minute job !

It is a tragedy that might have been avoided in every way!

Springfield Kindergarten Al Wakrah is an Indian kindergarten .

The employees of the school   transportation didn't discover the young girl until 11:30, when they got back on the bus.
Similar reasons killed another Indian girl in 2009.


When I remember, my gut cramps.My own  child  was  forgotten  on the school bus in 2009 .   She was  noticed  on time by a passer by  .I am so lucky   to  be able   to see her growing up and feel with  other parents for their loss .

 What the stork means for Hungarians


 is the   same  as the robin for the English


for the Indians, the peacock


the  eagle for the yenkies


The Japanese  favor  their cranes


 Austrians    their barn swallow


The white-eared bulbul is that  Qatar likes to follow 

The white-eared bubul is common throughout Qatar. It can be found in almost any habitat. Early in the morning, I discovered them in the Aspire park. There were a great number of birds chirping on the plumeria tree that was located at the base of the hill.

Tracking of an Eagle over a 20 year period

 


 This amazing map shows how a 20-year-old eagle traveled across large areas.

It crossed the countries of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iraq, and Iran from  Sudan and Eritrea. After that, it headed to Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Afganistan. On his list of stops were included Russia, Georgia, and Armenia. Last but not least, it circled back around to Africa via the Arabian peninsula.


  How many things  this bird saw in his entire lifetime ! Deserts , cities , villages . Mountains and lakes, trees and stars, and clear blue skies are what you'll find here. If only there was a way for us to talk to the birds! How many entertaining and informative stories might they tell us !
