Re: Ok, so... (bye?)

Thanks, guys.

I went and bought myself a new camera, got it all set up for the Middle Eastern sun. I'm hoping to be able to document most of it in pictures.

The internet situation is pretty bad. The best option is to go to the Western coffee shops (they have Starbucks and Costa Coffee) or to get a wireless modem with a prepaid card. That gets expensive though. My time online will be limited, but I'll definitely try to pop in occasionally.

Re: Ok, so... (bye?)

wow!!! That's a huge step. Oman is a nice country. Hopefully before i die i would like to visit egypt, israel, saudi arabia, yemen, kuwait, and oman. I've pretty much traveled all of europe except for the czech and russia and some of asia except for china, malaysia and india. Yeah, i miss travelling. My dad works for the airline industry and i get my discounts from him.


But hey, don't say goodbye, just say see you later. Good luck.

cv6 group trip!!!

Do it!

I was meant to leave tomorrow, but now it looks like it may take slightly longer. You guys aren't rid of me yet.

Re: Ok, so... (bye?)

I'm going to be miserable without anywhere to go riding!

Abu Dhabi is like right next door... home of Yas Marina Circuit... Unfortunately the F1 Grand Prix was last weekend but.... It's also home to FERRARI WORLD, the first Ferrari theme park... I mean YAS MARINA c'mon! Look at all the **** you can do! (while you're not at FERRARI WORLD of course!) http://www.yasmarinacircuit.com/en/experience_yas.html Yeah it's not cheap but how many times are you gonna be to freakin Yas Marina Circuit?

I humbly await many many photographs and stories of Abu Dhabi awesomeness.

I've been to Abu Dhabi. It was back in 2008 though, so I guess that was before Ferrari World. I'm not a fan of the Emirates in general, just doesn't tickle my fancy. I do think that I may be going to Abu Dhabi over new years to watch a tennis tournament though. I have a good friend who lives there, so I wouldn't have to pay for a hotel.

Re: Ok, so... (bye?)

dude forget the weather, get me those ipads that are being sold for $14.06!!! :eek: lol hahaha

Good luck man! we will miss you here!

Re: Ok, so... (bye?)

I wish they had iPads here at all. Apple has ZERO presence in Oman. I would have to go to Dubai if I wanted any Apple stuff, and even then it would pretty much be grey market. I saw someone selling iPhones here for $1500+ (they cost 7-800 unlocked in the US).



I got in last night. The trip sucked. I was flying British Airways and, as always, took advantage of the free booze. I drank a few whiskey gingers hoping to fall asleep for the first leg of the flight. I couldn't sleep and ended up just sitting there with a headache.
