Well having nothing to spend your money isn't always a bad thing, I earned a relatively low salary for a job in the countryside of Hainan, but was able to save a lot of that cash because there was so little to do there. I'm still not sure what will I will do my masters in and if I will carry on teaching, but those figures for Qatar sound nice. I actually enjoyed Doha when I went there too and could actually swap alcohol related partying for Turkish coffee and shisha.
