:) All sounds cool. I'm going to link to your LJ generically. The history is interesting, too. I've always been just slightly paranoid about saying some stuff in my LJ. :) But the history is definitely interesting.
I've always been just slightly paranoid about saying some stuff in my LJ. Initially I wasn't sure whether it was such a good idea to write anything while I was still in Oman but then I figured what the heck. I'll be gone within a few days! Heh.
We lived in what is now the current PDO settlement (in the Mina al Fahal area, in Ras al Hamra).
The beach up there and the club is very familiar to us! I went to primary school very close to there.
In the PDO settlement we lived in a couple of places- "beach house no. 10" near the beach, Sunaina Road no. 4, and Al Ghubar Road no. 1. Also waay in the beginning in 1980 we live in Sico Hill for a couple of weeks.
I believe all the roads in the PDO settlement (Al Ghubar rd) have been renamed streets?
We lived in Al Ghubar Rd the longest- from 1981 until 1984, after which we moved back to the Netherlands.

Wow, your family left Oman even before we arrived there. Seiko Hill is probably much more different now than it was when you were there in 1980

Oddly, I just happened to be looking at your pictures again and noticed your mention of a LJ community for Oman.
I should note that I'd just finished posting my comments about a LJ community for the mid-east before seeing your comments above.
Anyhow, the point is, I'm in favor of it... although I'd rather be a bit more broad ranging (just because there is a fairly small number of us in Oman... Plus I'm interested in folks from around the Gulf.)
