 Qatar has no real winter—what they call winter feels more like early spring in Europe. Yet, their commitment to sports allowed them to send athletes to the Asian Winter Games 2025 in Harbin. Qatar will compete in curling (men & women), short-track speed skating (men), ski mountaineering (men), and snowboarding (men).

Interesting fact: Despite being a low-lying country, Qatar has passionate climbers, both male and female, who take on international mountaineering challenges. Their dedication extends beyond the desert, reaching icy peaks worldwide.

GREED

The school buildings collapsed and they crushed or buried alive hundreds of children and their teachers .While other buildings remained standing -most of the parents survived the earthquake .Corruption ,greed -say the parents ... an area as big as Spain is mourning in China .They lost their only kid - their little ,spoilt darling -and they only comfort would be to know that he/she did not suffer a lot ..But none of them can be sure of that .

Greed was the main cause for what a little Hungarian village lost many of their schoolers about 15 years ago.It was a foggy day -the school bus took them to the other village -as the small villages do not deserve a school nowadays .The signal at the railway cross was stolen .It was very common to steal signposts and traffic lights to sell them as melted metal ... Greed .

Would the block where we live collapse in case a similar earthquake ?What about the other buildings ?
I know I live in the least corrupt Arab country .But would it be enough to save us ?
