An Exchange Student in Qatar



As a foreign exchange student in Qatar I have learned a lot of different things about living in that country. If I lived in Qatar I would have a 94.62% greater possibility of being employed and would spend 58.94% less on health care. However, I would die 2.73 years sooner compared to living in the United States. In Qatar I also would have had a 99.35% better chance of dying if I lived there. While I was there it was fun to see the city of Doha and also to experience all the different customs that they take part in such as their national day. It is celebrated on December 18 and includes a boat show and fireworks. I also got to see the inside of Qatari's Prince's historic mansion. By the end of the trip I learned a lot more things about living in Qatar and also got to take part in some of their traditions.
