Lol<br />I am a French lady who is falling in love with the Middle East region and has travel a lot in UAE but I've never been in Oman and for sure I will visit your country. I am curious about traditions even if sometimes they are quite strange... I am curious about women life and everyday challenges and when I see all the interesting blogs hold by talentuous women like you, I am proud of you all sisters because I know that the change in every country in the whole world starts when women decide to stop watching their life and start acting. <br />Keep it up and please write a new article about weeding.

It feels easier not to go but at the same time it seems a shame to miss out on such an experience. I have no idea what to wear, no idea what will happen there and really just feel very nervous about the whole thing. How do you think people will react to a random Western girl showing up?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-53463833478518108492010-12-22T23:07:39.057+04:002010-12-22T23:07:39.057+04:00WWFatumerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14659535303408921738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-49410203347838331182010-11-01T05:36:30.034+04:002010-11-01T05:36:30.034+04:00This brought back memories for me - I lived in Sal...This brought back memories for me - I lived in Salalah a few years back ad went to a wedding in the Crowne Plaza.

I couldn't find any without whitening effect. I should mention that I am by nature as white as it gets. Why isn't anybody happy with their looks? Why this obsession with skin colour? In Europe you see so many people who spend hours upon hours in the midday sun turning themselves into some version of a grilled chicken and applying tons of tanning cream when they can't. And here they do the opposite. It must be genetically encoded in every human being to desire what one does not have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-23250048475151431092009-08-30T09:15:26.858+04:002009-08-30T09:15:26.858+04:00Hey Diva!

And the one opportunity I got to visit Salalah I gate-crashed a wedding (a Dhofari friend explained that was perfectly alright to do) and it was the coolest wedding experience EVER! The hairpieces, coloured contacts, OTT make-up (and Dhofaris take OTT to a whole new level) and just the whole vibe. Y'all really know how to party. I even saw a woman who had drawn on another hairline! Respect to all Dhofaris for being original ;)Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532570912337612691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-77958846684362461572009-07-29T23:03:16.431+04:002009-07-29T23:03:16.431+04:00Weddings are hell in Salalah, I've never done ...Weddings are hell in Salalah, I've never done my make-up in the salon... Yet. It's too much!
