Yes, I'm still here. I've lived in a small-ish town and also in the capital. Yes, in small towns, you are more exposed to the culture. That doesn't necessarily mean that you will have local friends. Of course there are exceptions, but generally expats hang out with expats.

I thought you were leaving this year.  Is life in Oman that good? i've got two male co-workers looking to go to the ME and are trying to decide between Oman and the UAE. |

Here's the general consensus regarding the two: (not my own opinion, because I haven't worked in the UAE)
* Oman: lower salaries but still easy to save money; laid-back culture; friendly people and students; not a lot of nightlife/shopping
* UAE, esp. Dubai: more money but lots more ways to blow your money; decent nightlife/shopping; less-friendly locals & students--more attitudes, more arrogance
