My time in Doha is running out

February 26, 2009

My plan of updating my blog while in Doha as flown out the window. There just doesn’t seem to be any time. I had the opportunity of touring the American university satellite campuses of Doha’s Education City today.

I spent the afternoon networking and discussing connections between Canadian higher education and Doha. I’m presently in between those meetings and dinner. Tonight, I will be having dinner with a Canadian expat who is involved in recruiting Canadian researchers to Qatar.

Following this, I’ll be playing tourist again.

If you are interested, I uploaded photos of my first day in Qatar to Flickr last night:http://www.flickr.com/photos/joeycoleman_ca/sets/72157614434125902/
