Heavy Reading

Good Morning Folks! It's official. I'm moving to Alaska. I can't stand the humidity anymore. I'm packing my bags and won't be back until the rain starts in July. (or now? it started raining this morning! early monsoon? dare I hope?). I've stopped wearing makeup because it melts the moment I step out of the house. If you're planning on visiting Salalah during the monsoon, come during the last week in July. If you're Muslim, come during August and enjoy Ramadhan fasting in the rain. It'll be around 26 Celcius (and around 50 celcius in the rest of the GCC), so fasting will be easier. I'm serious.

. I have to pass on Linoleum Surfer's latest post on FGM in Oman. If you're Dhofari, read this. If you practice FGM, read this. If you're Muslim, read this. READ THIS. Spread the word. The more people talk about it, the better.
. Oh, and they're now selling camel meat at Lulu Hyper. Just thought you should know :)

  3. We always appreciate Salalah more upon return. Once khareef sets in you certainly will too. Bon voyage!
