We have now landed in Doha, Qatar. The trip here took about five hours and we have still got five more hours to fly until we reach our final destination Kolkata, India. Already we can se big cultural differences.

To start with, there are about 95% men at this airport. The most of them are immigrants from Bangladesh ore Pakistan who have come there to earn money to support their families at home. Every time you turn your head arround you se annother type of traditional clothes. You have so many different cultures here just as we have got at home. But obviesly they have not seen too meny Europeans here cause every one who pases us cant seem to stop staire but they are all very polite and they all seem to mean well.  

the temperature here is about 30 and ofcourse we enjoy the heat. Though there have already been a mosquito on my hand. Those I have not missed and seem to have forgotten about.
