He couldnt have even found it on a map... then found himself there.When M arrived in Qatar from London on his newly-minted expat assignment, he didnt expect to be confronted with lifes most existential choices...so immediately.And he dragged his girlfriend-cum-wife too."But I wanted to go to Singapore," she said."We got at least half-way there!"From job offer, to eloping in Las Vegas (because living together out of wedlock is haram), to having a kid - and back again, "TIQ" is a humorous, if not slightly exaggerated, acerbic account of an amateur expats trials and tribulations waaaay out of his depth in a country, frankly, he had never heard of.If youre about to move to Qatar, or if you ever thought you wanted to visit (you KNOW you want to), TIQ will help you frame (and perhaps even answer) some non-trivial questions such as:- What would you choose with your marginal dollar - beer, or bacon?- Is it OK to eat your lunch on the toilet?- Whos that scary voice on the radio every morning? and- Are traffic signs really just...guidelines?If you werent planning on moving to Qatar, or even visiting - the shock, laughs and jaw-droppingly ridiculous happenstances might just even move the needle (albeit slightly).Way back when M got his Hebrew tattoo, his mom, like any good Jewish-American, said, "Well, now youll never be able to go to the Middle East."M just scoffed and said, "Middle East? Me? Never."Whos laughing now?(And by the way: the answer is definitely never bacon.) Author Biography M. Star is an ex-consultant who works in the energy industry *yawn* but secretly has always wanted to be a creative. Living in London with his Finnish wife and three beautiful children, M had always yearned to do something a bit different.An engineer by background, but never practised; classically trained cellist, who rarely performs; accomplished songwriter, to a limited audience and a struggling triathlete, sometimes finishing races; after years of trying, M finally wanted to finish something and to share his account of his incredible Qatari journey.Previous works include-well, almost nothing. He did self-publish a book of poetry and songs in 2016, grandiosely called Thoughts from an Age: From Adolescence to Adulthood. If youre smart, you can read it for free on Kindle. If youre smarter, youll skip it. Details ISBN 1528980336 ISBN-13 9781528980333 Title This Is Qatar: Anecdotes from an Amateur Expat Author M.
