I’ve been back in Canada for almost 1 year now. We had been living in Qatar for 3 years. I still don’t feel adjusted to Canada, but am grateful to not be in Qatar. I cannot begin to describe how much I loathe that country. I haven’t written much about it since I left. I feel a bit scarred from the experience, in a way. What a horrible place. Human rights do not exist there, racism is blatant and institutionalized, so many people are treated like complete and under shit by cruel and brutal people. Money has completely corrupted the country. I just could go on and on about how horrible the place was, but I barely know where to start, what to focus on, or where to stop. I feel such a complete hatred of the country.
Happy IDAHO! Too bad there is still so much work to be done.

I don’t know if these petitions make much difference. But, this is an issue that I feel is important. I believe Dorje Gurung has been wrongly imprisoned in Qatar.
In this blog post, I barely skim the surface of what is a very complex situation involving expats living in Qatar and the very real dangers that exist there. I highly encourage anyone considering working there to reconsider.
