Appreciative

I had a frustrating day today, but Raji and Asma made everything better. I left work being really appreciative of all the people that have taken me under their wing and have ensured that I enjoy my time in Oman. I have never seen this level of kindness and generosity anywhere else in the world.

Nura has been amazing at making me part of her group of friends. There is nothign better than chitchatting with a bunch of gals after football practice or a night out at the club. Through her I met Ahlam, a fiesty girl with whom I get into pinch fights with. Also, she's the one with whom I ride around town with, windows rolled down, singing Mariah Carey or Beyonce at the top of our lungs. Weird glances towards our car are a guarantee.

Also, at work there is Raji and Asma who allow me to vent and are always there for an encouraging hug. Also, they have been the key for helping me progress at work. Who knew that in a work environment dominated by guys in high powered positions, it would be two females that have the true power of getting things done.

Finally, I must comment on Ghassan, my lebanese friend who has too much Arabic generosity. The happy smiley guy that is always there for me no matter what. Also, his Egyptian friend Adham who knows the best and most exclusive places around town. Somehow I have the best conversations with these guys. The nicest guys you'll ever meet.

These are the key people in my life in Oman right now. I know this group will change, correction be added on to, but for now these are the people that are making my stay in Oman amazing!
