Doha, Qatar, Day 37
Departure day!!!! I decided to
celebrate my last night with a proper steak and a few pints. Oh, the
luxury:)) It's amazing how, after two weeks of drinking almost
nothing but bottled waster, 3 pints of beers has me feeling like a
ninth grader doing beer bongs in the high school bleachers. The
euphoria of the subsequent buzz was probably not well served given
the strangely sleepless night (and stupid facebook posts) that has followed, but considering I
still feel well enough rested, so worth it!
Despite my glee at leaving this place,
I do have to admit that I feel a shameful sense of missed opportunity
here. Given that this place might as well be on the other side of the
galaxy, there are no doubt photo opportunities here seeped in exotic
tradition beneath the desert sands and Gucci veils I have yet to even sniff. I could survive
cost of living for a little while, but that heat?! From that heat,
there is no compare, and no escape.
No escape that is, until 2:00 pm today
when I board the plane to Guangzhou!!
