My Middle Eastern Adventure: Yeah that is one pink bunny rabbit!

So this last week has been pretty busy, 6am starts and 12 hour days just what you want in 40+ degree heat! But it has been fun non the less. Been giving presentations to all the local schools and telling them about how they can come sailing and all the fun stuff they can do with us at RSA. It was a bit daunting at first talking to a whole school but when 90+ pupils say good morning Mr Alex you just cant help but smile!

Souq Waqif

In terms of everything else its going great I feel like I have finally settled down fully, and am really getting into the way of Doha life (ordering everything for delivery at your door!) Although that is getting slightly on the boring side, so this evening I went to the souq waqif with Justin for a wonder round and that is where my title comes from. We wondered around the maze of buildings and corridors before coming across this:

Pet Ailse

A whole section of the Souq handed over to pets of all types and sizes, (for those of you easily offended by stuff with animals skip this section) We were looking for some monster fish (preferably meat eating) to go in the guys flat and we did come across some monsters but non with big enough teeth to scare Simon, However we did come across alot of other cool things like:

Fish in a wine glass

Teenage Ninja Terapins...on a beach

Some amazingly well trained birds!

And getting back to the whole title rabbit thing:

Yes you are seeing right those are pink and purple bunny rabbits, and rabbits in dress's not exactly the nicest thing I've ever seen but I bet they sell better than the plain ones sitting next to the them! I was pretty shocked but then again people get away with worse things here than dying a rabbit pink! There were so many cool parrots and other birds but they are just far to noisy to be worth having in a house. After not finding a killer fish we headed back through the maze and to a place called Tanjine which is a Moroccan restaurant and was really really nice! sitting outside in the lovely warm evening was just exactly how you want to eat food! Unfortunately they didn't have any camel left so I will just have to leave that for another day, I did have an amazing mountain of couscous and lamb! So now feeling stuffed to the brim and content with not sitting at home eating in all evening I'm ready for bed! Without further rambling I will leave you with some more pictures of the Souq and a really cool building that I think is the Qatar Cultural Centre (really amazing building) Goodnight.
