Some action actually took place yesterday. The company came to pick up Oli and I, and took him for a medical exam. Then we went to the company building and Oli signed a contract. That was scary. Now we are bound to Oman for at least one year. It made both of us nervous, actually we're still nervous.

The company seems very disorganized, even in little matters like calling a taxi, or ordering lunch. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, and the head doesn't exist. I guess this is normal here but I don't like it. Oli and I made a pact to just go with the flow and let them do things their way, and try not to get frustrated about it.

It seems like we're going to be in this hotel for awhile before we finally fly to Salalah. Oli still needs to do fingerprints for immigration and they haven't even started my spouse-visa yet. We order room-service every day and watch movies on our laptops.

I took some photos from the car yesterday. ( clickity )

Oli's friend Ken and I have started trading writing, because I like his poetry and I miss writing mine. So thanks to that, and my friend Sadi ordering me to write a book while I'm here (and giving me a pretty tight deadline, lol) I'm gonna try some creative writing in all this free time I have.

so I'll be posting stuff in my lighter_spins account if you're interested in adding it, if you haven't already
