Random Ramblings about Life in Salalah. Thursday, August 13, 2015. The Times They Are A Changin: A Look Into The World of Shura Elections. Before I spew forth one more word, rest assured that I speak only of practices in Salalah. I am not familiar whatsoever with election practices in other parts of Oman. Oman's Majlis Al Shura is the only version of an elected parliament that Oman can speak of. The duties of this. The Majlis Al Shura consists of 84 members representing all Wilayat of Oman. Because S...

Dhofari Gucci: An Honest Post
http://dhofarigucci.blogspot.com/2015/07/an-honest-post.html
Random Ramblings about Life in Salalah. Tuesday, July 7, 2015. Normally my Ramadan posts involve a lot of complaining about supermarkets, and gushing about spirituality. This Ramadan is a bit different for two reasons. Reason One: I meal-plan very carefully in order to ensure that I venture out for food once a week early on a Friday morning before the food-crazy crowds make it to Lulu. Trust me, it works. I plan the meals down to the very last cup of coffee. Oh but it does! And mainstream Muslims share t...

The weather forecast for today indicates heavy thundershowers, torrential rain, and heavy wind. Looking out my office window, all I see is sun and scattered puddles. Hmm is it too early to put the candles and buckets away? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Darbat Valley during Monsoon. Holiday announced for next week. I hav...

Random Ramblings about Life in Salalah. Monday, February 22, 2016. The Oil Crisis: Impact on Daily Life. Nevertheless, I'm pleased to inform you that I am a bit angry today, hence the post. I do not need to elaborate on the existing oil crisis in Oman and why it happened, etc. My post today is about the direct impact on the lives of Omani citizens from the perspective of someone who directly works on budgeting and employee benefits. 1) Reduction of operation costs by 10% at least. 8) Not sending anyone t...

Dhofari Gucci: Thoughts on National Day
http://dhofarigucci.blogspot.com/2015/11/thoughts-on-national-day.html
Random Ramblings about Life in Salalah. Monday, November 23, 2015. Thoughts on National Day. Before you bite my head off, remember that I'm one person with an opinion. I didn't post patriotic schpeal on National Day (November 18th) because I didn't feel like it. I am torn between being happy and being pissed off. Not exactly a good combination, right? All in all, a continuing party. It hasn't stopped yet. Yesterday was Ibra. Tomorrow is Sur. Salalah was on Thursday. It's just non-stop. ON THE OTHER HAND:.

Alrighty, so referring to the post below on the upcoming Majlis Al Shura (parliament) elections, take note of the following:. 1) I'm still amazed about the Salalah Alliance selection criteria.
