Katara, new Culture Village in Doha

Went with 2 colleagues to watch Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra Latin American concert, unfortunately only expensive tickets (QAR 250 and 300) were left, we decided not to watch. Instead we walked around the Katara.
Was surprised since there were events related to AFC Asian Cup. There were Korean Cultural show (dance and music), classical music, kites, big screen for the soccer match.
We saw photo exhibition from a family member of Qatari ruling family showing Qatar desert (I think he took nice pictures, black and white with his Leica camera, but since the object was Qatar desert, the photos were only showing trees in the desert, camels, oryx, and falcons).
We stopped by in a Turkish restaurant to have soup, drink and dessert. Forgot the name of the restaurant, but it was a nice restaurant, cozy decoration and nice taste, but a bit expensive.
