You know you live in Oman when:

You begin to flip through magazines from right to left

You shiver when it’s (only!) 25 degrees outside

The sight of lamb guts and skin thrown on the street no longer disturbs you

Jelly fish season is the worst thing to happen to you all year

You patiently set aside 2-4 month for any paper work you need done

You drive slowly, eat slowly, work slowly- can’t disturb the Zen of the nation

You shine away from maniac taxis and busses whilst driving

The most exercise you get is the 3 minute walk from the office to the car

You own 10 types of flip flops and only 1 pair of sneakers

You know 5 different replies to the Arabic Phrase “Keef Haalehk?”

Seashells, sand and bits of coral are “the mess” in the glove department of your car

Your skin is at least 2 shades darker than it was when you lived in your home country
