Well, foreigners have freedom to some extent. I however (as an Omani by origin)was subjected to abuse and disrespect by my own people simply because I chose not to be a muslim. They had a problem with the way I dress, the way I walked, the way I interacted with the opposite sex. They just had a problem with me. <br /><br />I thank my great great grandfathers for emigrating to Africa. I could loose everything but not my freedom. Here I can go to church, I can dress the way I like, I can socilise with whoever i like (men, women, black, white, brown, muslims, christians, pagans, jews) without fear. Most importantly they accept and respect me. <br /><br />My intention was to visit Oman, the land of my origin but not anymore. I would rather go to Timbaktu, I am sure it is more interesting there. <br /><br />To my Omani brothers and sisters "Welcome to South Africa" <br /><br />AlharthyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774543214090370108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283845125208268798.post-24623645283007792862009-06-21T08:07:01.584+04:002009-06-21T08:07:01.584+04:00Dragon- Thank you for the comedy review- HaHa.

I like that it's more than 11 days after I noted it too here. <br /><br />On this, oh hush my dear. Sometimes I can respond when poked, surely. I'm on record with the vanity and petulance. I prefer to visualise it as flames. ;-)<br /><br />And yes. Although not in Oman. One day this may happen.
