We want Tourism… but we don’t want Tourists. That’s Qatar’s national moto it seems. I simply don’t understand what’s going on in the minds of some people. Let’s look at Chinese nationals. Are you a female? Between the age of 20 and 29? You’re a prostitute! No! Don’t even bother trying to argue with me!

That’s the way the government sees it some would say. It just freaking annoys me the way that people think of solutions in this country! Let’s look at this from the beginning. At one point in time, there were a lot of Chinese prositutes. So they came up with the solution highlighted above.

Is it astroke of genious? I doubt it. Some guy just didn’t want to think things through. The amount of frustrated men in Qatar is unbelievable and it’s because they don’t allow women in. I need to elaborate. If you’re from Europe or the US, you can get into Qatar by just arriving at the airport and paying a visa charge there and then, but if you’re from anywhere else it’s hard… in most cases it’s because the visa official just didn’t feel like allowing someone in and it’s THAT sort of bias which annoys me. If everything if fine, it’s not up to them to place personal feelings into whether they ‘think’ someone looks good enough to allow in.

There are a few points that I want to highlight.

1) Understand our culture and accept our ways. That’s what some (a minor percentage but with some strong influence), would say to foreigners. Alright, our way is to find a woman that we wish to get married to one day. Now if there are no women for the foreigners here, then how can they also get married one day? Now I’m exaggerating a bit, there are women, but it’s currently at 1.7 men for every woman. We’re going to end up being the ONLY Muslim Gay country in the world, and that’s an achievement if we beat Kuwait!

2) They’re here to work not have fun. No they’re not, they’re here to LIVE. They are here to make money and have an opportunity. Believe it or not, Qatar is not considered a country of opportunity. Give people venues to go to, allow people to hook up if they want and who cares what goes on behind closed doors.

3) We’re just trying to make sure the country is clean. Thank you, arigatou gozaimasu, however you’re system is causing a backfire! Target the root. The root are the bad people, and if you want me to be 100% honest, sometimes a bit of corruption is needed to balance out the world. It’s kind of like the subject of Alcohol. If you were a good Muslim and you have the alcohol in front of you, you wouldn’t even be the slightest bit tempted. If you are, then whether it’s in front of you or not, you would still want to try it, which goes against what your core beliefs are.

I don’t really care what people do. I believe that a person’s faith is between him and God and those who judge, have more to hide since they’re trying to divert attention.

Bring in more people, encourage tourism, create ‘expat’ zones if you don’t want to ‘taint’ some people’s lives and we’ll all be happy. Who wants to bet that most Qatari’s go to the expat zone
