Where I live

Sometimes I'm surprised by how much this country has become home. Most recently it happened when I came across a promotional video created for the FIFA 2022 World Cup bid. Throughout the video I saw places and activities that we've visited, observed, and participated in. But it was more than just a sense of familiarity that I felt; there was also a slight twinge of national pride (oddly enough).



Then I watched this video and got a little emotional.



There's something about Qatar. Sure, there are things I do not identify with or understand, there are features of life here I would like to change, and there are aspects of my original home that I would like to add. But for now, at least, this place is home...and I'm glad!
