Doha in a nutshell

I have the answer!

When people ask what Doha is like, the answer is, "An airport."
There are people from hundreds of countries, all corners of the world. Very few call this their homeland. There are the same shops you'd find anywhere in the world, none of them selling anything interesting. There is nothing to give a sense of place, of local character. Is this the pinnacle of globalization? Its anywhere and everywhere and nowhere. It is an airport. Possibly Dubai airport.
