Another happy day…
begins today!
We’ve arrived in Doha, Qatar.
This is the second time that we ‘arrive’ in Doha,
but this time we’ve arrived and we’ll stay here in Doha.
Yes, we’ll stay here for 10 days.
Now you’ll be saying “Wait a minute, what’s Qatar?
What are you doing there?”
What’s going on? But relax, we’ll explain it soon.
I don’t know why, but Mi is always saying
that I make her crazy.
Why?
Wow, what a terrible joke.
Terrible joke.

Portuguese: 
você me deixa louco

English: 
Going through customs was quite relaxed,
it took us about half an hour, right, Mi?
Brazilian citizens need a tourist visa to enter Qatar,
but it is not the same as in the U.S. or Canada,
it's given on arrival.
Visa on arrival.
So they ask you a few questions and
they decide if you can come in or not.
I thought something was beeping.
So did I.
Hi, nice to meet you!
Hello, nice to meet you.
Hello, nice to meet you.
Weather is really hot here in Doha right now,
it’s 37 degrees Celsius outside,
but I’m wearing this jacket ‘cause it was
very cold inside the plane.
37 degrees is a very good weather for
Qatar standards, quite pleasant.
Temperatures may go up to 50 degrees along the week.
Yes, 50 degrees Celsius.
And their first recommendation was for
us to drink a LOT of water.
The camera lenses are all blurred,
my glasses lenses are all blurred too.
Wow, it’s a sauna, guys!
It’s 37 degrees now.

Portuguese: 
olá, prazer em conhecer você

Portuguese: 
obrigada Megan, você não precisa esperar por nós. Eu sei que você tem planos para hoje
você tem certeza?
claro, obrigada
M-I-R-E-L-L-A

English: 
It’s 7 P.M. now and we expected to see
daylight saving hours,
though I think we are on the southern hemisphere.
It’s night already.
Yes, but we are in such a luxury car, feels like if the
driver presses a button a Transformer will show up.
And we’ve never been in such a perfectly made highway.
Thank you.
Thank you, Megan. You don’t have to wait,
I know that you have plans.
You sure?
Yes, yes, definitely.
M-I-R-E-L-LA

English: 
A lucky coincidence, we’ll be staying in the room 1202, which is my lucky number and my birthday, February 12.
What has happened?
Let me explain it from the beginning.
We were in Austria when we were invited
to attend this event.
We flew from Austria to Madrid, and from
Madrid we flew here to Doha.
Here in Doha there are a few dressing rules.
Women can’t show their shoulders, can’t
wear anything that reveals her knees,
and we have some events to attend in which
we’ll need to wear… better clothes.
But we didn’t have any, that’s why we went to Madrid, used our time there to do some shopping,
and a bit hectically, we flew to Doha this morning.
We are so glad to be here attending to this event and
to be able to know a bit of the city in the meanwhile.
We’ll be staying for about ten days.
There’s a lot to see and visit,
and it’s a completely different culture
that we have never had the chance to interact with,
to understand more of it.

English: 
There’s a lot I still have to learn.
A few things were explained to us,
but along the next days we’ll be learning more
and we’ll let you know everything.
We are on the 12th floor, in the city center, where all the hotels, touristic sites and the main buildings are located.
Mi, let’s go out to eat?
Oh, there’s one thing. You were about to
hug me, I’m a bit traumatized.
Here in Doha it is not allowed to walk around holding hands or to show any kind of physical affection in public.
Right when we were leaving the airport,
Romulo came and gave me a kiss on my cheek,
and I was like “No, you mustn’t!”
The instruction we found in the Ministry of Tourism website was “Holding hands can lead to arrest”,
which means that you could be thrown in
jail for holding hands while on the streets.
The first different thing we’ve seen here in
Doha is that to call the elevator…
I’ll call it now.
…you really do use a phone!

Portuguese: 
dar as mãos pode ocasionar em prisão

English: 
“Hi there, may I speak to the elevator, please?”
Someone answered!
It was a joke, but she called and
someone in reception did answer.
Qatar, whose capital is Doha, is a very small country in a tip of the Middle East, we’ll show it you in a map.
But first I have to eat something,
‘cause I’m starving, almost fainting.
We’ve bumped straight into Ipanema,
something is telling me to eat Brazilian food.
We’ve been away for a long while and yes, I do have
the wish of eating a Brazilian barbecue, oh yes.
There are many different restaurants here. In the end
of the hallway there’s a sports restaurant,
there’s also one specialized in chicken wings back there, and there’s the Brazilian one…
- I think we are in the wrong place.
- Ipanema.
Instead of eating inside of the hotel we decided
to come to mall, and the surprise here is:
it’s just like any other mall in Brazil or anywhere,
depends where you’re from.

Portuguese: 
Qual o melhor?
o melhor é esse aqui

English: 
The only difference is that local people are
normally dressed with their traditional clothes,
women wear the burkha while men wear
those long white vests.
And tourists are dressed in ‘regular’ fashion.
We’ve found a restaurant that was introduced
to us by Rafa and Nat from MOTOfilmadores,
they took us out for dinner when we were in London
and we went to this same restaurant,
that we’ve now found here in Doha.
What’s the best one?
The best one is this one.
Ok.
I love hummus, and they have these pepper sauces,
but I’m not sure how hot they are so I’ll put just a little.
The bread is still warm.
Very good.
So, yeah, do not touch here, ok?
They’ve made a mistake, so he’ll switch it,
I wanted the corn on the cob instead of loose,
but the chicken, I think I’ve made a mistake when ordering, this is not what I wanted.

English: 
I thought the cheese would come as a filling,
but it’s melted as to cover the chicken.
It looks pretty good, though.
It’s still very very hot, and we are now
walking around this area in the hotel
where they have the swimming pools,
and here there’s a small jacuzzi.
It's lukewarm.
Lukewarm?
Yes.
Now we are on the hotel bar, and here is
where we have the view of the whole city.
From this corner over here we are able to see
the buildings on the other side as well.
Here’s the bar, people seat over there, there’s music. Alcoholic beverages are extremely expensive here.
You can only have them in five stars hotels,
only for tourists from outside Qatar.

English: 
And they can’t sell it to Muslims,
only to non-Muslim tourists.
We were having dinner in the mall and they don’t
serve alcoholic beverages, it’s forbidden.
Here, a can of beer costs between
$10 to $12 euros. A can of beer!
It’s really expensive. They do it precisely
to discourage people from drinking it.
It's extremely beautiful!
I think I've never seen a view like this.
And this is the hotel where we are staying.
Get ready

English: 
Oh my god!
