Life shots

Time for some more pictures to try to help those of you across the many ponds get a sense of life here in Doha.  

What's this, you ask?  A picture of sour cream, finally back on the
shelves after a mysterious and almost devastatingly long
absence, of course.  Random shortages happens a lot here,
so when you find something you've been missing, you will
often take a picture to share with all your friends.  I mean,
it's Sour Freaking CREAM!

And these are camels.  I still can't get over seeing camels!

Remember when I mentioned the rain?  Well, one of my
least favorite quirks about construction here is the endless
fascination with polished marble, which is hazardous enough when
coated with the ever-present layer of fine dust but positively
life-threatening when it rains! 

Another shopping shot: lamb brains, anyone?  No?  But they're
from Australia and everything!

This might only be meaningful to those of us living here, but we recognize the uniform
(or some variation thereof) every single immigrant worker who lives here 
wears every day, even in the middle of summer, at the hottest part 
of the day (which is representative of the entire gamut of human rights 
questions here)...only this isn't a worker, it's the construction 
site equivalent of a scarecrow, meant to demonstrate (I think)
proper safety attire...or possibly to scare people away from the entrance!

What's this, snow? Oh no, just a bunch of soap suds outside of our Honda Dealership.
Because it rained a lot and there's a soap factory next door.  What's wrong with that?!
