Happy National Day, Oman!

After 5 months spent in Estonia we are back in our second home in Oman. The outdoor temperatures are much more pleasant now than they were back in May and water in the pools feel even a bit chilly sometimes. Yet, around 30C on daytime is very pleasant to go for walks or spend time in the playground.

November is a month of national holiday in Oman (the exact day is the 18th November), so the locals proudly present their national flag everywhere and shops are advertising to buy local - Omani - products. So many houses and even cars are decorated with national symbols and photos of Sultan. But besides the national day there is another reason for that: Sultan has been spending quite some time in the hospital in Germany because of poor health and Omanis show him their eternal love and support by decorating their cars with photos of Sultan but also praying for his health.
