Inter Nations is for expats like us that arranges a website and get togethers in cities. It is worth signing up for (basic membership is free) so that you know when there are meetings in local bars and you can get along and make some new friends. Make sure that you take plenty of business cards along!
My wife is very gregarious and we have met loads of people through this organisation in Doha, meeting up at hotels. You pay for your own drinks, but the venues have all been really good.
One meeting was unfortunately at the Lava Lounge where everyone was expected to pay 100 Riyals to get in. Most people refused and went home. We went in and it was the worst get together.
I think that the local organisers have learned their lesson and if it is anything like the meeting at the Kempinski Hotel a few months ago then it would be great.
Well worth signing up for Inter Nations whether you are in Doha or anywhere really so that you get a foot in the door to a new city and get to make new friends too.
