New Blog Discovery: Andy in Oman

May 3rd, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

I discovered this new blog today and it’s so awesome I had to share it with all of you guys, it’s written by a Canadian English teacher working at Ibri’s College of Applied Sciences. Ibri is one of the bigger deserted Omani towns near the UAE boarders, and it basically has nothing other than this college… but yeah, anyway, there is this blogger called Andy who has been writing about his experience of Omani culture, his activities with various Christian societies in Oman, and the way he spends his time with staff colleagues going to Al Ain or Muscat every weekend to watch a movie and have a decent meal. The blog is awesome, here are my favourite posts:

  • Arablish – Quotes from Omani students’ first day English essay. Unbelievably hilarious!
  • Omani Hospitaliy – pictures of a visit to the house of an Omani family.
  • Baptisim in Oman – I had never known people get baptised in Oman. (Yes, I’m ignorant.)

And many many more, check out Andy in Oman via this link.

    We kinda had a sports field day today at work laughing about that post, it's amazing! I think that the coolest thing about it is that it is genuine!
