The "InshaAllah..." Mindset Strikes Again
After having asked my husband to clean the yard "this week" 9 weeks running now, so that HIS guests can have a safe (and clean) place for their children to play, I do not feel bad at all posting this. Anyone who has been a English teacher in USA, or anywhere in Asia, and in the Middleeast, will relate. So will loads of others, so even though MOP DOES NOT fit the "inshaAllah" stereotype, I am mad about the "inshaAllah I will clean the yard" soooooo.... here goes.JAPANESE/CHINESE/KOREAN ATTITUDE FOR WORK:"If one can do it, I can do it. If no one can do it, I must do it."MIDDLE EASTERN ATTITUDE FOR WORK:"Wallahi, if one can do it, let him do it. If no one can do it, ya habibi how can I do it?"

"Caring What People Think Too Much in Oman"
Caring what people think too much, is a village's theme in Oman. Which is why my husband, who loves his village more passionatley than many who actually reside there, does not want to live there at this point in his life. Same goes for his cousin, who has all her family and friends there, but wishes often, that she could escape to a nice cosy apartment in Muscat.Example: my sister in law recently purchased the abaya pictured below.
