On Saturday I went with some colleagues from Doha to Mathaf,
the Modern Art Museum. There was an interesting multi-media student exhibit in
which everything was in black and white.
It only struck me afterwards that
there is a lot of black and white in Doha since the Qatari women dress in black
and then men in white.

One anime drawing at which we paused had “never stop
dreaming” written at the top. What is notable about this drawing is that it was
made by a member of the Al-Thani family, who are the rulers of Qatar. If your
name is Al-Thani you automatically get a large amount of money placed in your
bank account each month even if you are a distant relative of the Emir. Thus,
we were fairly confident that this young girl would never have to stop
fulfilling her dreams!
