Arriving clueless in a small town/village lookalike I asked Policemen my way back to Al Ain.<BR/>All cops jumped off their chair and asked for my passport.... I only had my driving license from the UAE , and was acting strange not understanding yet that I was in Oman indeed.<BR/>To make it short we had a tea, smoked a few cigarettes and they sent me on my way back to the UAE. The fact that I was driving alone was what bothered them the most.<BR/>Fun enough, I never saw the border on my way back neither... :)<BR/><BR/>AL Ain... my first contact in the UAE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11985920.post-18450675072308667072008-04-11T07:40:00.000+04:002008-04-11T07:40:00.000+04:00Believe it or not, I was sad to read that you were...Believe it or not, I was sad to read that you were leaving.
