| Inside the Compound (aka Gated Community) Top left is our "street". We love the individual look of each townhouse...yes that would be the different numbers on the door! To the right is the palace known as the DAM Oasis - #40. Bottom left is our spacious garage with our trusty steed. |
| Da Foyer... As you enter the grand foyer, on your left will be the visitors dunny / crapper / washroom / laundry etc. You will notice all the modern appliances. For example, the outlet for the dryer (white hose below) is taped to the wall. When we dry clothes; first turn on the dryer, then just conveniently turn on the fan in the wall above the hose, and viola, dry clothed! However the fluff and crap from the clothes do circulate around the whole bathroom, leaving a fine layer of dust on everything It then eventually finds it's way outside to where it then proceeds to land on the car. A perfect system really. |
| First Stop... Upon arrival you shall be requested to lodge your footwear, hats and other bits and pieces you have bought into the holding area below. Please do not throw them haphazardly on the ground, as the anally retentive host (DB) has provided you with your own individual pigeon hole for this purpose. This allows you to roam freely and unabated throughout the rest of the residence without having to live in fear of DB cleaning up behind you. |
| Da Living Room... Having passed the immigration process and been stripped of all illegal substances (eg. anything that can spill, stain or drop crumbs on the new couch), you will then be greeted by the marketing department and made welcome. PS - If you have managed to smuggle anything into the area, Agent Walker is trained to spring into action and squirt you with his water pistol. Don't be deceived by his laid back posture, he is quicker than something that is really quick! |
| Da Dinning Area... The feeding area has been immaculately outfitted with all the essentials needed for entertaining. A table and chairs. Please note that if you have managed to come this far with any illegal substances (see Da Living Room blurb), they may be consumed here due to the easy clean tile feature on the floor. |
| Da Kitchen... It is here in the sustenance preparation area that you can really view the full nesting capabilities of the DAM Family and of the Marketing and Protocol Department in full swing. Not a lot of common sense is always used when building things in Qatar. For example, find the microwave in the above photo and you will notice it has been fitted wonderfully into the cupboard area. However when you try to open the door to the right of it, the microwave manages to act as a door stop, and access to said cupboard it restricted thus the solution, remove door! |
| Da Upper Level... Proceeding to the upper level via the intricately embossed gold hand rail and tile stair case you notice not a lot. Just lots of stairs. |

| Da Upper Veggie TV Viewing Area... You now have access to the sleeping and preening area's of the DAM Family. Here you will notice a secondary DVD - Power Ranger viewing area. We have mentioned that the weather can be a little hot (see Home Page - "How DAM Hot Is It?" link), notice the moonlight cascading in the French doors. |
