Khaliji 19 fever

As the 19th Gulf Cup series (Khaliji 19) have started, and the fever has hit the AGCC population, specially Oman, as it’s the host.

As for this national event, I've subscribed to Koorah+, to get updated despite I am not a fan of football. Oman got even with Kuwait with no score as 0-0, while Bahrain lead Iraq by 1-0 at halftime, which was scored by Abdullah Ismael (God knows who he is) in the 28th minute, and the match is continuing.

Fever
About 'fever', I have been suffering from fever since 29th of December 2008. What a bad ending and starting a year with a sickness, couldn't attend a friend's wedding, and my cousin had his first newborn son.

In UAE

This thought came to me when I read an article 'Locals not allowed' by Osama in Arabic, about not allowing locals wearing their national cloths dine in fancy restaurants as part of policy.

In UAE:

• The local citizen is a foreigner,
• It’s a western not eastern country,
• Bars and discos open 24/7,
• 24/7 developments.

Hippie or not
Over three years ago, I mate a young man, from the same community, I always found thing strange in his behaviour and character, which made me feel uncomfortable.

Since then, I was trying to figure out, which group he may fit in, he looked like a care free person, long hair, I realized he has a Hippie character, don‘t ask me, I just sense it.

The question is, are their Hippies in the Arab world or not?

Support Oman Air

Yesterday, I was talking to my sister regarding 2008 holiday arrangement, she started talking about Oman Air, the Omani national airways, and while she was talking to her co-worker advised her to use the Omani national aircraft instead of the foreign airways as the revenue comes in the country not outside.

I agree with the above point as the airways can expand and more national manpower can be employed locally and internationally.
