On Top of the Hills with Mohammed
no worry i didn't change bf, am always madly in love with my omani poet Saleh
Mohammed is my taxi driver here lol i spend more time with taxies than with myself
So yesterday understood the only place i could visit around is Fujahirah and asked for a taxi, as i said am an hermit, don't like tours with others
Now taxi drivers are used to these balooney western ladies who go for gold or shopping, but am a queen i don't go for these useless things
'newayz Fuj is kinda near, nice town, also here lots of buildings but you still free to breathe, large spaces
and what i find here i don't find anywhere al oman? lulu centre lol so just to see how is in each country i went up: found a nice burqa for 80 dhirams and a scarf for 10, am not used yet to the change but maybe is 1/4 so i think i spent almost 25 euros, the problem here is that they're good in calculating dhir>euro but not ryals which i feel more comfortable with
it was not a burqa don't worry, was a nice jalabya but it was written burqa
so as i said to my fans before, i like talking with taxi drivers: Mohammed is a good guy, young and still not with the mind to marry but he'll do inshalah one day
obviously he finds strange that at 37 am not married yet and asks why
i turn my eyes to the sky, remembering the old good times when i used to chat with Aramco friends, and explain him that to find a hubby is not like going to supermarket, well i wish it was, and that maybe was God will for me
he asks if in italy we have big villas like those they have here, hmmm understand what he means and i explain that yes we do but not like traditional families here who have 3 or 4 flats together to stay when they marry
he is curious about marriage in italy and asks how it works there, what age, how many kids
i explain him that it depends on when they finish studies, find a house, money to survive, job
so again he asks how comes am not married, this time i answer that i was too busy with work
Mohammed doesn't like a working wife, well at least he says he can accept but will never allow her to spend money: all that she wants, he'll give her, he doesn't understand the need for her to buy things when he can do
I explain that maybe when you have a work and earn your money you wanna spend it just as a matter of pride, to see materially the results of your efforts, a sort of satisfaction
he agrees but from his eyes i understand he doesn't like the idea
understood that i like different things, he brings me up to this restaurant called Top of the Hills and the location is really wonderful: from there you can see the mountains of Oman and those of UAE.
Is Maghreb time too early to eat so i prefer a dew and ahhhhhhhhhhhhh my shesha, 6 months i don't smoke it: here they're not surprised about my request and is full of omanis also, maybe they don't care if a woman smokes or they don't show, while in mct all eyes on me :p
i invite Mohammed to sit with me and we go on talking: he shows me an implant, dunno if water or electricity which starts there and go to AD
"mashallah how comes they do all these great things while in Oman we barely have implants and investors" i ask
Mohamed has a logical explanation: sheik khalifa is very generous, for example he gives money for children births, while Sultan Qaboos just keeps money for himself and people are unhappy, not stimulated to work and create great things for their country
He says that in low voice cause of the omani guests i think, but if they're living there, i think, is probably cause of what he said...
