well its been a week almost; i returned from Oman (i was there for giving training on ASP.NET 2.0). i actually found that place very good. its peacefull almost no traffic. you will hardly find people on the streets specially during day time. its too hot out there. it feels like rocky mountains and burning inside. love the roads. people are very good there. when i was training the MOF team there they were all found to be very adaptive with very good attitude.
