Bloggers gathering - August 2008
We had yet another small gathering this evening at D'arcy's Kitchen in MQ. This gathering was unique, though, because we had an honor guest; our fellow blogger MMK080 from Qatar. He was in Oman during the weekend for his first time in the Sultanate, and on his last day in Oman we thought of having a small gathering. It was indeed nice having him between us, and it was an honor meeting him in real life. Hope that he liked his stay in Oman and enjoyed the special Omani hospotality. :-)
Anyways, the gathering was all organized quickly and just via e-mail in the last couple of days, when MMK080 announced last Tuesday that he will be in Oman for the weekend. I quickly e-mailed the bloggers I thought would be interested in meeting up, and they all responded. Everyone came except Muscati who was really looking forward to coming but couldn't make it since he was in Dubai, as he explained to us from the beginning. The bloggers who attended the gathering are: Al-Maawali, Kishor, Blue-Chi, MMK080 from Qatar, our great chief Del_Yahi from the Omani Cuisine, Conceptoo from Oman3D and of course, myself.
And guess what? Blue-Chi and Conceptoo, the founders of Oman3D, gave away some free t-shirts in the gathering carrying Oman3D's logo. So it wasn't only a nice gathering, but we got free t-shirts as well! :-p ..
Again we hope that MMK080 had enjoyed his time in the Sultanate. :-) Wishing to see him again in the future.

It a nice gathering. Thanks to all of those guys who came!
Thanks to Amjad and Blue-Chi for their initative in organising this event. It was great to interact with fellow bloggers. I hope more such gatherings happen regulary.
Blue-chi: Thanks a ton for the T-shirt and coffee as well :D
It was a nice gathering indeed. I have never felt more welcome in a place outside Qatar than I did when I came to Oman. Blue_Chi told me "all you had to do was come to Oman" and that's exactly all I had to do. In fact, that's all they let me do, everything else I needed, wanted or thought of was brought to me. Thanks so much for the amazing hospitality Blue & everyone.
It was great putting a face on all the blogs I was regularly reading and it was a pleasure meeting you all. Hopefully the next time I see you all will be in Qatar :P
Erm, someone was left out :S. Or am I still fresh and new to join the club ^^.
Well, don't forget next time ;)
Productive and quite effective too... we should have these more often.
This is a wonderful initiative. We should plan such gathering on a regular basis...
