We hope you’ve seen our latest issue, out on stands now, and as promised here’s the lowdown one of our featured bloggers:

Mr. Q of blog.iloveqatar.net

What do you think Doha smells like?
Literally: An old book
Figuratively: Hope

What do you do on a typical day off?
I’m always up for Anything and Everything.

If you had one superpower what would it be?
Freeze things

What’s on your iPod (three current favorites)?
Ke$ha – Tik Tok
Craig David – Insomnia
Chipmunk – Diamond Rings

What’s your favorite restaurant in Doha?
Can’t say, love Butcher Shop and Grill, Chilis, Johnny Rockets, but most of all, home cooking :)

Do you prefer reading print magazines/newspapers or online media?
I prefer online media. Can’t wait to grab an iPad so that it makes life so much easier.

Guilty pleasure (tv show, junk food, etc.)?
Burgers. I love burgers. Did I mention I love burgers? Lucky thing I have a high metabolism.

Top place you want to travel why living in Doha and why?
That’s a very hard question to answer. On a serious note, I’d love to travel to California to see what ti’s all about. It’s one of the few places I haven’t been to. Choosing a country live in? Maybe Cali or Tokyo. I love Japan.

Anything else about you or your blog that you think I should know?
Mr. Q is just a small section of iLoveQatar.net. It’s purpose is to create a fantastic positive community where people can share knowledge and generally, ILQ itself sponsors a variety of different events to encourage culture in Qatar. There has to be an underground scene to inspire new culture. ILQ is also strongly committed towards charitable causes. One cause is called ‘Labour Day’ where we take a percentage of profits from ILQ and pick a random work site and give them cold drinks, shirts, towels and top up a phone with credit so that they can call their families back home and say: “I’m fine.” That’s the least I can do to show my appreciation to the people who work in the hot sun to build my country.
