We are Oman

Due to the fact that I did not partake in the initial development phase of this blog, the idea of a joint Omani blog seemed like a reasonable idea. However, as more contributors joined the effort I began to see that this is more than talking about Oman, its sharing ideas, views and experiences. The latter of those is what makes it interesting, because just like this blog, Omanis in general are diverse and their experiences are assorted. It will be interesting to have a single blog that will show how our views differ in regards to “Omani” Topics.

My views come to you from across the world, usually in the form of a proud Omani looking at the developments and change from far away. For the past 13 years I have lived in the United States, mostly in Kentucky but in DC and Los Angeles for a short while. Currently, I am in pursuit of a PhD in Economics at the University of Kentucky and therefore will be here for at least another 4 years.

I look forward to the information provided here. If you have ever lived out of Oman you will know that local news and information are hard to come across. I hope that this becomes a venue that serves as an introduction to the dynamic life of Oman, where old coexists with the new.
