The heat

Arrived safe and sound and was met by our instructor, Diana, at the airport. We went back to our apartment (which is fully air conditioned, I should mention).
Oh my goodness it's hot here! I knew it was hot, but I could not have possibly imagined just how incredibly hot it is. And this is at night! I have yet to experience the heat's full wrath during daylight hours! I'm a little worried.

(l to r) Laura, Lauren, Tanis, Natalia shortly after arriving in Doha around 7 p.m. I was told it was a "cool" night tonight.

 Something called "Mixed Iskander" which is basically a lot of meat, on top of cubes of bread, on top of yoghurt with hot sauce. Quite good.

Oh sure let's walk through a mall at 11 p.m. Why not! Thursday is the start of the weekend here so everything is open late, and by late I mean, open all night. It's too hot for people to shop during the day so they do their shopping at night. Tomorrow we're going to a different, larger mall to buy some groceries and anything else we need. First shift at the hospital is on Sunday.
