The Roo Story...continued. From nowhere to now-here.
Qatar (Doha/Al Khor) – June-August 2013
A nearly three months trip (longest work trip ever, obviously), most of it during Ramadan. Good colleagues. Interesting experience in many ways (and what convinced me to get an automatic as next car, heh), but I honestly had very little clue about the job. I actually enjoyed the heat, it doesn’t bother me at all to be out walking in ridiculous temperatures.
