…and I am not sure why… I’ve been trying to get to Kuala Lumpur via a myriad of planes and delays and hotels. My bag is in Minneapolis by some demigod-level event, and my travel agency decided that the best way for me to get to Malaysia was in fact not to fly towards Asia, but to skirt Yemen in a midnight run on Qatar Airlines. I checked on Flickr to see if I had any friends in Qatar. I do not… out of 29,000 contacts, not a single on from Qatar, but it does sound like an interesting place. I’m only there 4 hours to change planes, but that might be enough time to have a quick Arab adventure with my camera… we’ll see!

The photo below is the closest thing I have in my Doha relevancy network.  I’m trying to convince my mom it is safe to go out and take pictures in Qatar, and I promised not to wear my “Bush Rocks Your World” t-shirt.
