Here is the description of Qatar by netizens "ignorant":

√ working in Qatar, you cannot leave the country without the permission of your employer, and it is useless to have a passport, and you will be detained at the airport.

√ entire country is contracted by the Third World, and only 310,000 of the 2.6 million people hold Qatari nationality.

√ prices are comparable to those in the United States

√ drivers (mainly from India and Africa) earn $500 a month, construction workers (mainly from Nepal) $100-200 a month, compared with that, I was sent by an old mentor to get a master's basic salary (that is, if you have a master's degree, this is your minimum wage), almost $4,000 a month, including rent, rental car fees (without any public transportation, either taxi or rent-a-car), there is almost 1,000 knives left a month. It's hard to imagine how the average laborer survives with $200.

The working environment of √ laborers is terrible, except in winter, they are very hot, and the very hot is not the kind of heat in Beijing and Nanjing, but the kind of heat that will be hot when walking on the road and want to vomit.

√ the whole country is undergoing large-scale development, flying sand and rocks everywhere.

Before I went, I thought it was a country of local tyrants, but after I went, I found that in addition to the city center, other places are the feeling of the combination of urban and rural areas in China, and many places have no roads, so Qatari locals drive off-road vehicles, such as Toyota's 4runner and Land Rover.

√I rented the cheapest Corolla, and some roads could only drive as fast as Highway 20, so I was about to be thrown upside down.

√ locals drive very wild, you get in their way will drive behind you and flash headlights and you let you go, countless times I feel like you've hit it. In this way, I also have to speed up, but there are probes in many places, which will film you speeding, and the penalty is very harsh, and I am a migrant worker who does not know where there is a camera, and when I left the country, I found that I was speeding twice, leaving $1,000...
