Qatar Logic

So theres a huge accomodation crisis happening here in Doha, too many people not enough houses for them. I was lucky to have Jess here already who managed to score us the last apartment in the DAGOC 2 apartment building, others in my starter group had to stay in a hotel for nearly 10weeks. Although a really nice hotel, with cleaners everyday, fresh sheets etc.. there was nowhere for them to cook. Basically eating out every meal of the day! Anyway they finally found a finished apartment building for them all to move into. Enrica an Italian girl I work with got the keys for her apartment on the 6th floor of a 7 story building. So they take the lift up to what they thought was their floor only to find all the apartment numbers where too high so they head down to the 5th floor only to find they are all too low! They've installed an elevator for 6 floors in a 7 story building so they have to take the lift up to the 6th and walk down!! Only in Qatar!!!
