It's Official!

We are legal residents of Qatar now. We have arrived. This is evidenced by the receipt of our Residency Permits, which you have to have to do almost anything in Qatar. Now we can buy alchohol (well, apply for liquor permit so we can buy it ourselves), have a cell phone contract, apply for a permanent driver's license, register cars. And the process of getting this RP (as we expats call it) was not fun (chest xrays, blood typing, HIV tests, all done with the rest of humanity moving to Qatar.) So it's done! This is a cause for celebration! Pass me the gin.
