<DIV></DIV>>Hi everyone,
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I've just found this site, it seams all very exciting to me. I moved
<DIV></DIV>>to Oman
<DIV></DIV>>when I was 4 years old (1980ish) and went to Muscat English Speaking
<DIV></DIV>>School.
<DIV></DIV>>My father was an Engineer at Cansult to begin with when with lived
<DIV></DIV>>in
<DIV></DIV>>Mutrah, then later moved to the MOD engineering department, and so
<DIV></DIV>>from then
<DIV></DIV>>on with lived on MAM camp. We left Oman when I was 11 (1988ish) and
<DIV></DIV>>eventually ending up in England. This was a big culture shock for me
<DIV></DIV>>and now
<DIV></DIV>>that I am 25, I am only now realising how much I miss Oman and don't
<DIV></DIV>>feel at
<DIV></DIV>>home in England, especially when the weather is bad. I still haven't
<DIV></DIV>>gotten
<DIV></DIV>>used to the sea being so cold!
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I've heard its changed some since I left, and I've had little to no
<DIV></DIV>>contact
<DIV></DIV>>with anyone I knew when growing up. All I've had to remind me of my
<DIV></DIV>>childhood is to look at photos and go over and over old stories with
<DIV></DIV>>my
<DIV></DIV>>parents and older brother. I know the best idea is to go out on a
<DIV></DIV>>holiday to
<DIV></DIV>>look around and recognise things, somedays I'm desparate to just
<DIV></DIV>>walk and
<DIV></DIV>>look for shells on one of beaches we used to go to.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>What would be ideal though, would be to be able to get incontact
<DIV></DIV>>with people
<DIV></DIV>>I grew up with, or went to school with. So if theres any of you out
<DIV></DIV>>there
<DIV></DIV>>please get in contact!
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>thanks Craig
<DIV></DIV>>
