203 Rachel C, Orange, Australia

Rachel ruled the photographers of Doha. Now it's just the world

193 Peter C, Punchbowl, Australia

Pete lives in Little Middle East and recently helped me learn some software

180 Di G, Marrickville, Australia

Di is from Brisbane. Bless

137 Sara J, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Sara was also in Doha, and now she kicks ass in Dubai.

129 Ingrid K, Doha, Qatar

Ingrid is a friend from Doha. Except she's still there. I don't think she could find her passport or something

120 Wojciech, Ultimo, Australia

Wojciech teaches back at old UTS, where we met, through Gut

104 Siobhan G, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Another luscious Norwegian card for for this parched desert inhabitant. Siobhan and I worked together in Qatar, and after a while in Sydney she raced back to the dust.

101 Caela H, Hope Island, Australia

Caela is an old workmate who sailed away to live in Queensland.

097 Jo R, East St Kilda, Australia

I met Jo through Sophie T on a summer's day 10? years ago? I have chosen this 'beach scene' from Qatar as Jo has water for blood.

095 Anna B, Athens, Greece

Anna was in Qatar working on the Asian Games when I was, but returned home early for some kind of very worthwhile job in an NGO, putting the rest of us to shame. Mykonos is not quite Athens, but I thought she might be interested in this vintage card, and would be able to tell me if it still looks like this

073 Chris P, La Louviere, Belgium

Chris is Canadian, but we met worked together in Doha, where this attractive postcard was bought. She works in Belgium now, enroute to Macau. Tough.
