Languages in Qatar

Working along side so many people from practically every country in the world, it is really interesting to get to know a little bit about their languages and cultures. In the office where I am based, we have a white-board and several people write down various sentences from their language, or any other language that they understand. It's a kind of ice-breaker when new people come onboard, which is almost every week. Also we teach each other snippets of languages that we know. All good fun, and you get to know people from all over the world. It's Friday afternoon (another week gone by so quickly), so as usual I spent a couple of hours in the gym this morning, followed by a couple of hours at the pool. I have some Sun tan lotion this visit, so I was able to lay in the Sun and listen to my IPod Touch for an hour or so without getting burned. The tan is comming along nicely now. Been writing some Excel VBA at work this week, to look for duplicate points across all 15 severs, that was quite interesting, and useful, and worked!
