Been too busy to write. More weddings. Monsoon is officially over but the mountains are still green. We had some rain this week, but only in the mountains. Salalah is crammed with police officers and army officers this week as His Majesty is conducting the 2010 Oman Council Meeting in Salalah this morning. Two hours from now..
The Oman Council (Shura Council + State Council people) will discuss current issues in Oman. His Majesty will give his annual speech. Since it's his 40th year as Sultan, people are expecting a different speech this year. I took the day off work to watch Oman TV and hear what he'll say. Omanis are expecting big 'news' in this speech. However, I'm pretty sure if he had big news, he'd save it for 40th National Day on November 18th. We'll wait and see..

I hope you post all the details.
ReplyDeleteman did he say anything special yet?
ReplyDeleteplease do post if there's anything special he's said: "Any Big News"
ReplyDelete... did he say anything about further Omanization? Was at the fish market this morning and all of a sudden there was a lot of noise, confusion & guys running away. Turns out the police were searching for non-Omani who were working there. One guy told me that if you're not Omani you're not allowed to work there any more. Do you know if this is true?
