Weekend Recap: We're Going to Sinaw, We're going to Sinaw

On the weekend, OPNO and friends drove to Sinaw from the road in Bid Bid. And we only took one wrong turn, which was the fault of some old Omani dude in a petrol station we asked directions from. He said to turn at the next petrol station. He meaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant, the next petrol station AFTER the next petrol station.

Thank you nice Sharqiyah family who drove as all the way to the real road!

All the way there, Princess and OPNO were chanting, "We're going to Sinaw, we're going to sinaw" and MOP was singing Dhofari traditional songs, about pearls, "Da da dana" or something, and not-so-traditional songs from Salalah, about a young Dhofari lad at the Univeristy begging the security guard to let him in to see a girl, because he was a changed man, although not related to the girl.

Radio does not work once you hit the mountains.

Well, it was a nice trip, lots of driving. We left late though, so really, it is better to leave at 6 or 7 am from Muscat on the Nizwa road to get to the traditional souq in Sinaw if you want to see it for what it is. 9 am until 11 am is the best time to see Souq Sinaw.

Thankfully, we still checked out the going price on camels for meat and for riding. (We are poor folks, and racing camels, we do not need).

Though MOP told us a funny story about "racing camels" from back in the days when he worked with the Beduoin.

We mainly went to check out the Beduoin culture, and to see some real knives and khanjars. We also checked the prices on some antique rifles, cuz MOP wants one. OPNO REEEEAAALLLY wanted to buy some Sharqiyah traditional dresses but we came to late for that.

We did buy a decent box of tomatoes though, for only 1 rial, lol, and checked out a Mandoos tv cabinet which was totally cool for one of the rooms in one the OPNO girl's places.

After the Souq sinaw closed, and the most sensitive OPNO had petted her fair share of camels and goats, getting excited everytime she saw a Toyato pick up with two camels haunched in the back yelling at them "Hi sweeties!!!!!!" to the chagrin of MOP, the group headed to Nizwa by way of Adam, haunted by sign advertised Adam's horse racetrack, where they explored the Niwa souq there and had lunch in a grand coffee shop. (The red one) acroos from the mountain that kind of looks like a dragon sleeping or a stegasaurus (sorry, my directions SUCK without pictures). Perfect meal, for only three rials et al. Yummy.

For all ya'll who have never seen the most famous fort (I don't know why, I don't love it all that much though it has some great cannons) (maybe cuz there are ALWAYS busloads of tourists here so shopping for a decent price is hard): Nizwa fort, open Saturday to Thursday, from 9 am until 4pm, and Fridays, 8:00 am until 11:00 am.

They also explored an Islamic book shop, looking for a book explaining Ibadhi fiqh, and bought some Salat lecture cassette tapes in the Ibadhi madhab. This is a religious thing. If you're not Islamically inclined, ignore.

After that, they THOUGHT of driving through Izki, but decided to save that for another day, and headed back to Muscat on the Nizwa road way.

OPNOs practiced their reading of Arabic under the tutelage of MOP who was aghast that the girls could not read "Fanja" since they knew all the letters, and at home they watched four movies, two of which were terrible, picked by MOP, and one that was okay, picked by Princess, and one that was excellent, of course, picked by OPNO. ;p take THAT MOP.

JOKE: What is the difference between an Omani Wife and an expat wife?

My husband and I were joking on this, after a weekend of fighting over nothings.

What is the difference for an Omani man, of being married to an expat wife, as opposed to an Omani wife, from his tribe?

Difference #1

Husband says to the Omani wife, "Come here, habibti, I want to show you something."

Oman wife comes.

Omani Husband says to the Expat wife, "Come here, Honey, I want to show you something."

Expat wife [okay, it's a defensive OPNO] screams, "You can't make me!"

Difference #2

Husband says, during an expedition shopping for household goods in the Souq, "I really think this one is nice."

Omani wife, puts it in the basket, and they buy it.

Husband says, during an expedition shopping for household good in the Souq, "I really think this one is nice, and you said wanted soft and warm and not too expensive."

Expat wife [looks at Husband like he's an idtiot]. "And I also said NOT UGLY. Nothing THAT ugly is going on my bed." [They leave with nothing].

Hehehe.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

The year we have all been wating for is finally here, yay.

Cheap Prom Dresses

Every girl gets excited by the time that their school announces that the prom night is just a couple of months away. Unfortunately, not everyone has enough money to buy for the most elegant looking prom dresses that are available in most couture shops. However, this should not be a reason to stop you from getting that dress for this memorable event. There are now cheap prom dresses that are not just cost-effective, but very glamorous at the same time.

In today's rough economy, young ladies are being forced to work within a budget when it comes time to buy a prom dress, new shoes and a pretty shawl. The steep prices being charged at the fancy boutiques in local malls and shopping centers are simply too high to afford for most girls your age. Perhaps you are interested in buying a knock-off dress that looks exactly like what Paris Hilton and other Hollywood celebs are wearing on the red carpets. You can fulfill that dream of yours by going online and searching under cheap prom dresses.

This means that not only will you be able to afford the exact dress you have had your eye on but you also will be able to pick up those new shoes, stockings, shawl, purse and any accessories you need such as earrings or a new necklace to match your dress. There are dozens and dozens of online retailers that specialize in nothing but formal attire. This means that the prices are kept low because each of these retailers must directly compete with one another for your business.

You can always look for economical dress on the Internet. You have a wider choice since hundreds of websites are offering this kind of service and the competition is actually tight especially as the prom season comes. Aside from the inexpensive price, there are some websites that still offer discounts as well especially if you buy it a couple of months before the prom night. The best thing about the cheap prom dresses is that it is unlikely that you will see the same design on boutiques near you.
