I don't miss the lazy pace, at all. Or maybe it is just the laziness I don't miss.
I love the sweets in the ME, but you can keep the dates!
I seriously miss the food- that is the Lebanese, Indian and Thai food. I also miss the price of the food. But Oman will fill that void, and the sweets.
I seriously miss the news programing in the satellite stations. Any pretense of comprehensive and objective news coverage has long been lost in the US.
Again, I will have that in Oman.
I don't miss the arrogance of too many of the Saudis- especially of the male persuasion. I think I would have started vomiting with the constant preening and head-dress flipping if I had stayed much longer.
And I won't miss being around so many men who are permanently deprived of the company of women. There is a lecherous edge to a lot of the interactions, even on the phone, with men there. And it is just plain sad. |
Yikes. Hopefully, those guys won't start looking at men in 'unwholesome' ways. Take an inflatable doll along if you're gonna get this bad. |

The Kingdom has a lot more of that sort of haram behavior than they would ever want to admit.  |
