Since moving to Qatar, we are slowly getting our house and ourselves settled. During the process, however, there have been a few interesting moments. Here are some of them.
1. We arrived to our house with our shipment from South Africa sitting in our living room. With jet-lag on our side, Justin unpacked their entire shipment during the first night. Here was the damage.
2. Our housing complex states that each tenant must care for the back "yard" while the maintenance maintains the common areas. As you can see in the picture, you really can't call this a yard, and it certainly is not worth buying a law mover over. So Justin has resorted to using some good old fashioned bush trimmers!
3. In order to buy a car, we needed to either get a loan from the bank or pay in cash. Unfortunately, the loan process a little more complicated than we had hoped, and we were running out of time to get the car that we wanted. So, Justin and I each went to the ATM and withdrew our first pay checks. Ironically, the ATM maximum cash amount is so large, that this could be done in one single trip! We have never held this much cash in our lives and probably never will.
