First off, Eid Mubarak. I hope everyone is enjoying all the happiness and blessings of an Eid long weekend in Oman. Myself, I am just recuperating from the long journey home, but alhamdulilah, we made it, no incidents.
It was my Omani husband's first time going to my home country. Funny, everyone always assumes we met over there, and yet this was his first time going.
He FINALLY believes me about how far it is, and how exhausting it is. Our journey was 38 hours. I don't even consider that bad in my experience.
Even if you flew first class (which I never do unless my flight almost crashes and they offer me first class the rest of the way if I don't sue because even economy is dreadfully expensive to the other side of the world from Oman) I still think you'd be exhausted when you arrived. The shortest flight I've ever found was still 22 hours. And that costs about 2, 000 omr per person, economy. So yes, not for me.
Anyways, it always terribly stressful, because there are at least 3-4 connecting flights to get to my home economy-class, and to miss one, means dealing with different airlines to re-book (even if it is their fault) so usually you just end up re-buying a whole new ticket if this happens. So thankfully, even though every single person in front of us in Toronto had a delayed or cancelled flight to deal with, ours was on time, and the little island plane was only broke down on the tarmac for half-an-hour so we still could run through Vancouver airport and make our connection on time.
So alhamdulilah. Home sweet home.
Since it was my husband's first time meeting my family, and seeing my city, I think the funniest part of that is seeing what stood out to him about it all.
He finally understands why I miss trees. He now can admit that Oman does not really have trees, by a West Coast standard of tree anyways.
He fell in love with flower baskets. He eventually understood me when I told him to stop taking pictures of people's lawns, and save some film for actual gardens. My city does gardens pretty well.
My sister and I had to stop him from picking every roadside blackberry bush that he saw. The price of blackberries in Oman is ridiculous, and I still consider them a weed, but my husband enjoyed his baskets of berries nonetheless, despite our derision of the thorny creature.
My uncle let him shoot at grey squirrels. He also hand fed some pretty tame deer. In the early morning he met some raccoons.
He also gets why I am so stubborn. My family is like that. We argue. We insist on doing things a certain way. One has to be a little stiff, and unyielding, and a little independent, or one is not allowed to be one's self. He also could see where the restlessness comes from. We are a hard-working people. We keep busy. In Oman, I can't do any physical labour pretty much. I don't get to walk enough. There simply isn't as much to see.
While he concluded that he found Canadians to be very friendly (he kept getting invited by people to dinner or lunch) he met his first racist jerk. In the manner of all racist or ignorant jerks, that jerk only called us out as he had already passed us on the road. An "Is it Halloween already?" jeer in August is pathetic. It doesn't hurt my husband's feelings, but it made me boil because, a. it is cowardly, b. how long HAS that man's family been in Canada for anyway? not as long as mine most like, and c. I told my husband cowards like him are more common when I am a petite woman walking alone. No one told me to "go back to Saudi Arabia" the two weeks I was there, and one woman told me she loved my scarf and abaya, but jerks still exist. That simply sucks.
So alahmdulilah I am in Oman now, where men only lamely try to hit on me for the way I dress when I walk alone... I guess???? lol. Okay, that is sooooooooo NOT funny, but compared to Neo-Nazis I have met, it isn't so bad. It is annoying, infuriating, and demeans the state of women in Islam, but that isn't from my country or culture so it makes me way less mad, if that makes sense.
I think my husband really enjoyed himself even though it was such a short trip. I like it back there, I do, but there's so many bad memories, along with all the good ones, that everything is so bittersweet, and makes me feel so old.
I'm too young to feel that old. So it is great to be back in Oman.
I am not doing anything special this Eid, except being a recluse (which admittedly I have been such for a couple of months anyways), but I suppose I have to catch up with life again. I have to choose between working for someone, or working for myself, or just taking the gamble of writing full-time and hoping it all pays off, and I can't make decisions like that lol. Not today. Not this post.
So until there is something worth writing, Eid Mubarak to you all.
