  1. This might be the best (and only) excuse to fast forward through Sex and the City 2 and get an idea of the “exotic aspects”.

  2. Sounds very cool. I’ve been pretty sedentary most of my life but starting to realize there’s usually not a good reason to pass up a chance to go someplace new.

  3. Corporate climes and vibes are everywhere — in almost every nook and cranny across the developed globe. I’ve been hearing for years that there isn’t much in the way of earthy, hand-crafted native culture in the swanky cities of Saudi Arabia, but I’d like to search for it all the same.

  5. I think you’ll find it a wild (if only mildly wild) clash of civilizations, with the obvious pronounced Vegas bent butting up against moderate Muslim culture, which given our perspective may seem practically conservative. As a man, though, you may not notice anything different.

  9. Jeffrey- Qatar is its own country, not a part of Saudi Arabia.

    What a great opportunity – Qatar is evidently an oasis of (relative) liberalism and modernism in the region; it’s why the U.S. based all of its command operations there – you’ll probably recall it as the primary location for much of the documentary “Control Room”.

    Already looking forward to your posts from there.

    Some of the best journalism in 2002-2004 was written from there; go back through some of that stuff, Harper’s, New Yorker, etc. – they painted a picture of a struggle on the edge of Islamic modernity – and its proximity to Saudi Arabia is definitely felt, creeping in the background.

  12. I don’t know about this. I don’t want to see any grainy video footage of a hostaged Wells. Just imagine the groaning.

  14. Hey Jeff, funny coincidence, I’m heading out to Doha in just over a week to do some freelance editing for Al Jazeera English.

    I’ve been there a few times before for a few months at a time, and it’s a pretty unusual place, even for someone like myself who grew up in the Middle East. Should be interesting to hear your impressions.

    It’s a ways away, but I should still be there come the end of October, so Let me know if you have any free evenings for an over-priced, “hotel bars only” beer. (You have to have a long term residence permit to have alcohol in a private residence and there are no bars or pubs that are not attached to an opulent hotel.)

  16. Wells to GK London: Yeah, let’s hoist a few one of the nights that I’m there — 10.26, 10.27, whenever. I’ll write you before then privately. You can also reach me via Facebook.

  19. Joncro, I have indeed worked in the London office, but not for about two years.

    What do you do at Al Jaz? I work in the promos department as an FCP editor and AE op.

  22. I edit news packages, on the Aurora Edit HDR. Oh how I would love and FCP here!

    The designers of the Aurora clearly have nothing but contempt for editors.
