The story on the rents being HIGH and getting higher is very true.
There was an artical in the paper here in Qatar about the rent increase and some expats are sending their families back home ( thier place of origin) because the rents in Qatar are geting out of hand. The blame is put on the Asia games but a blind man can see that it is just greed from the landlords and a way for them to take advantage of the expats.
The compassionate leave here is something like three days I think, if they can spare you the time but as we all know 3 days when you are living in the middle east is hard for you to get home and grieve and get back to work.
