I am settling in slowly but surely. I have most things at home that I need. I am now working on my classroom (photos soon).
Oman is a fabulous country. The people are very kind. It is reletively easy to drive around and find things. There is one main highway. One thing, I kept getting in the wrong lane and exited the freeway. Most freeway exits have a roundabout. Straight, leads back on the freeway; U-turn, freeway in the opposite direction. Then right or left will take you to the business and such. Last night on my way back from The Sultan Center (Huge store with anything you would ever need and/or want except for plain tortilla chips) I exited the freeway at my exit, only to find myself back on the freeway again. I eventually found my way back. Now I know where things are, right?
Some of you who have travelled, know that there is always one thing at home that you cannot get in the particular country where you are. Most of the time it is food related. Oreos, plain m&m's, DQ Blizzards, drip coffee or tortilla chips. Well all of that is in Oman (Just not necissarily at the Sultan Center). Yes all of it. Let's play a game. Someone think of something they couldn't find while abroad. Let's see if I can find it!

Considering the challenge provided by roundabouts upon exiting, and figuring out whether you're coming or going, it's nice they didn't concede to the Brits and throw right-hand drive into the mix. Glad you didn't get sorted out upon existing.
How about a pint of Ben and Jerry's? =)
I heard that there was Ben and Jerry's at a specialty store that military can shop at. I will look for it at the stores I shop at. : )
