Tranquil Oman
January 14th, 2008
I’m back in Oman for a couple of days, staying at the Grand Hyatt in Muscat. I arrived last night from a frozen, grey Scotland to a warm, balmy 25 degrees here in the Gulf. I sometimes feel like I come to places like this for a brief ’shot’ of sunshine to help me get through the long Scottish winter.
It may be a naive outsider’s view but Oman always seems to be a calm and tranquil place compared to some parts of the Gulf. As is the case everywhere I go in this region, the people I meet are all friendly and polite, and exceedingly helpful in any way that they can. But the Omanis add to that by smiling a lot - that makes life so much more pleasant all round, even when I’m here to work!
