Listening to Amazing Grace in a Chinese restaurant in Doha, Qatar

Well the first 24 hours of employment were somewhat memorable. The night before I decided to plug in the router the was issued to me for home use. I set the router to input of 110 instead of 220. This resulted in converting the power from 220 to 440. For those who do not know, when an electrical appliance is expecting 110 volts and is given 440 it tends to over heat, make sparks and not work anymore. Luckily this was an understandable to the people who supply me with such equipment. Along with the instructions not to do it again.

The first thing that I did at was go to the clinic with Kara. It resembled something close to a several trailer connected by passageways. They took our blood an X-Rayed us here. It was just one of those experiences they made you realize the differences between the US and most of the world.

For lunch we went to The Great Wall Chinese restaurant. Over the speakers we heard them playing some rendition of Amazing Grace. It was a little surreal thinking about where we were but it was nice to listen to. Things are going well but we are still adjusting. Driving is still a challenge. It is definitely a male dominated sport around here. It's been lighter traffic lately and I have picked up on some of the tricks for the roundabouts. So it doesn't seem as insane as it did when we first got here.
