Last weekend, we have something new organized for this year, a one day telematch among the Bruneian, Malaysian and Indonesian families.It was a fun day for the children, doing some colouring and running around in different events organized by the parents.
Photography notes: Because of poor lighting in the hall, I used flash and high ISO but still need improvement in focussing.

Hair cut cost OMR 1 for adult or child in the standard barber shop. The set up is almost the same as in Brunei.
On 14th April, the Olympic torch arrived in Muscat. Oman is the only country in Middle East that got this opportunity and in fact managed it quite well. Obviously this relay attracted some negative responses in other countries with all those protests.

After office on Wednesday, we were on the road again, a 370 km drive from Musqat to Al Ashkarah. It took approx 4 hours with a stop at Ibra. Al Ashkarah is a fishing village with a long stretch of beach. We stayed for one night, driving back to Musqat after a satisfied but tiring day on the beach.
On the way back, we stopped by Sheikh Zayed Mosque, which is still not 100% completed. The inside views are magnificent and taking photos inside the mosque is allowed. Another visit to the mosque is a must to capture the views.
After staying overnight in Al Ain, we drove to Abu Dhabi, traffic was light all the way to the marina.
