September 20 - Post 3





September 20-Post 2

The first picture shows me at the back of the A&M facility. The picture of the Porsche belongs to one of the Qatari students. The third picture is of me in a compound where they house all of the professors. It is pretty nice. The last picture shows the pool inside the professor compound. As you can see, it looks like a resort. Trevor, a fellow graduate student from A&M is on the right.

Update

The first photo is a picture of 1 of the 4 courtyards inside the A&M buiding. The second picture shows the Sheraton Hotel. The third picture is of a building downtown. If you look closely you can see a spherical ball crunched in between the building near the top. The next picture shows the Persian "Maroon" tile they used for the hallways of A&M. The last picture shows some artistic pillars inside the A&M building.

Doha

The top picture is of a living room set up that would be found in a house in Qatar. This was at an art museum. The picture below this is of an outdoor restaurant in a marketplace in Doha. It is a nice restaurant that has seeting on three levels. Below this is an outdoor market place with vendor shops. All three of these photos are in a line shops at an outdoor market call Souq Waqif. The fourth picture is a picture of the A&M building from the couryard view. The last picture is of a mall called the Valagio Mall. They have an indoor river with boats that float the waters offering people rides. It is a normal mall with shops and restaurants like you would find in Dallas or Houston. It has Foot Locker, Gap, Macaroni Grill, Haagen Dazs ice cream, Baskin Robins ice cream, Puma, Lacoste, and a lot of other shops.
