Hopes soared and then crashed in Doha on Monday as news that a Walmart has opened here spread throughout the Tweetosphere. @WeirdWeb writes: RT @dohanews Doha, Qatar opens Wal Mart http://is.gd/6uUUh It quickly become known, however, that Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, was not responsible for the new store. On Here, There and Everywhere, the source of the breaking news, commenter adiamondinsunlight said: love it! and love that the Qatari authorities approved the name (when the owner registered for limited liability status)! To which intlexpatr, who reported the news, replied: LOL – you think they really got permission? Back on Twitter, @ExpatCookie mused: do you think they have similar shoppers to the US walmarts? http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/ :) Sure honey, I’ll go get the car for you. That long walk could be detrimental to your health. Probably.
