High Tea

We went to high tea at the Ritz Carlton before we left the country. This would have to be one of the top hotels in Qatar. Absolutely stunning. I was told I had to dress up and look presentable for it. Ow how the other half live. As Julia said…I was born to this. While I was there I watched this group of woman who were meeting for afternoon tea. They were English and of several generations. Some were English Muslims and some were not. It was fascinating watching them greet each other. The common European greeting here is a kiss on each cheek whereas local customs see greetings with three kisses on the one cheek. It was fun watching as people joined the group and greeted each other. They were almost banging heads as the Muslim woman were trying to kiss the other woman on the one cheek while they were trying to change sides. It was lucky there were no blood noses
