“Holiday” by KAWS - funky contemporary art at Doha Fire Station
We installed today “Holiday” by #KAWS following KAWS: HE EATS ALONE at the @DohaFireStation. The work represents the artist’s attempt to remind passers by to relax in an increasingly hectic world. I hope you enjoy seeing the work— will be on display until 17 November. #KAWSinDoha pic.twitter.com/CQeXhVlzQs— Al Mayassa Al Thani (@almayassahamad) November 6, 2019

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 !

Salt Spa experience
I was at the salt spa yesterday . I got relaxing foot /shoulder and face massage ! It was so good ! The only problem is that it is too expensive for me to come back! I came with 75 % off coupon .
I expected much less than I got . It was written that the main attraction is the salt room and the relaxation . I expected a little massage only . The foot /shoulder and face massage was nearly an hour .
The staff was welcoming and intelligent . I do not like going to such places because mostly Filipino women work there . They are wearing a thin mask of kindness all the time and behind this mask there is envy and disdain .... they look down at you because you are not as rich as some of the local customers and the envy you because after all you can afford the costly service .
Here I met a very nice Arab masseuse - she was working with great skill and devotion . They have a Thai masseuse as well .
The salt crystals cover only 2- 3 -maximum 4 square meter area but they are near the treatement beds . Telling the truth it was not so much a cave-like pure air feeling here ... the essential oils suppressed that .
The music was also very well selected -some instrumental music with oriental touch .
I think they should provide bath robe for XL sizes as well and they should improve the look of the entrance at the fence ... I got scared when I saw it was a bit shabby looking from outside - luckily inside the spa everything was impeccable .
