Doha Living








The compound we are in is lovely. It's huge, with over 1,100 townhouses and apartments, though it does not feel like the cramped, over-crowded town-living of Trinidad, where neighbors can see inside each others houses or hear through the walls. The townhouses and apartment blocks look like perfect little sandcastles with moulding, and islamic filigree framing the windows and doors.

Our street is quiet and very private. There are many large playgrounds for kids, a nursery, dry-cleaning, a grocery that delivers, our very own mosque, a restaurant, cafe, huge heated pools and lounge areas, beautiful spa and two massive recreation buildings that include squash courts, tennis courts, billiards rooms, sauna, and a five star gym with state-of-the-art equipment and personal trainers. There is no getting bored while Ry is away on a flight; I have wonderful friends on the compound, and a spa and gym when I am not keeping myself busy painting.

And did I mention that the Villagio is right around the corner?

I can live with that. You ?
