Helgen var også mye som andre helger; trente, lå ved bassenget, shoppet, laget nydelig mat og klippet håret til Nigel.
Det er litt av et styr når vi skal ut for å handle på det lokale vinmonopolet (Qatar Distribution Company). Først, så man man ha gyldig id-kort for å slippe inn i butikken. Kortet varer kun et år av gangen. Nigel fikk sitt nye kort i dag. Selvsagt må man ha et "no objection letter" fra arbeidsgiver først. Så kan man shoppe så mye man nesten vil. Men, ikke mer enn for 10% av månedslønnen. Det sistnevnte er ikke noe problem for oss.

Denne kamelen ville helst sikkert ha blitt anbefalt tannregulering om han hadde vært menneske.
This camel would most likely have had tooth braces if he was human.

This week we got to train 2 times and the weekend was filled with the normal stuff; train, hang out by the pool, shop, cut Nigel's hair, wash the car, and make good food.
During the week Rønnaug and a few of the Norwegian colleagues went to see an artist after worh. We visited a Dutch painter named; Linda Nijenbandring de Boer. Great art, but I didn't buy anything. We have enough pictures stored way in Norway from before.
It is quite an ordeal to shop liquor here in Qatar. There is one shop and it is called Qatar Distribution Company. You have to get a special ID card to shop here. And before you get this you have to provide a "non-objection letter" from the employer. Then, you can almost shop as much as you want. But, not more than 10% of your monthly salary. Not that this is a problem for us. We got a chance to stock up again today.
