    Hi!

    I’m new to Doha, and work at the Education City.
    I’m looking for a Korean food market in Doha.. do you know where I can find one?

    Plus, do all stores close in the afternoon or just the food/restaurant ones?

    Thanks!

    Jason

    “I passed by this the other day and thought it might be handy for anyone searching for Korean food in Qatar.

    Korean Food Center on Murqab Al Jadeed / Al Nasr.

    It’s quite small, and they don’t have a HUUGE selection but it’s great that they have all your usual Korean favourites.”

    thanks novita. You’re always kind to me :)

Freedom of Expression

    Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which the Qatari Government is a signatory of states: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any medias and regardless of any frontiers.

    The Emiri Decision Number 86 of the year 2007 on the establishment of the Doha Free Information Centre marked yet another step towards establishing a State of rights and freedom of speech. The decision stipulated that the Centre be a non-profit organization, headquartered in Doha City, and have the authority to establish other affiliated centres inside and outside Qatar. It is worth mentioning that His Highness the Emir issued a decision in 1998 annulling the ministry of information, giving birth to a new era of freedom of speech where censorship was removed from local media.
