Hi everyone,

I've just found this site, it seams all very exciting to me. I moved to Oman 
when I was 4 years old (1980ish) and went to Muscat English Speaking School. 
My father was an Engineer at Cansult to begin with when with lived in 
Mutrah, then later moved to the MOD engineering department, and so from then 
on with lived on MAM camp. We left Oman when I was 11 (1988ish) and 
eventually ending up in England. This was a big culture shock for me and now 
that I am 25, I am only now realising how much I miss Oman and don't feel at 
home in England, especially when the weather is bad. I still haven't gotten 
used to the sea being so cold!

I've heard its changed some since I left, and I've had little to no contact 
with anyone I knew when growing up. All I've had to remind me of my 
childhood is to look at photos and go over and over old stories with my 
parents and older brother. I know the best idea is to go out on a holiday to 
look around and recognise things, somedays I'm desparate to just walk and 
look for shells on one of beaches we used to go to.

What would be ideal though, would be to be able to get incontact with people 
I grew up with, or went to school with. So if theres any of you out there 
please get in contact!

thanks Craig
