The theme of this week's Corner View, chosen by Daan, is The End of Your Street. My street is a fairly typical one here in the Salalah area, lined with coconut palm trees, with a view of the Dhofar Mountains in the distance. In the mornings I drive up this street and turn left to go to work, and in the evenings I jog up there and turn right. As I have done so, I have watched that house at the end of the street being built over the last few months. Now, as you can see, it's finished, and a family has moved in. Houses here tend to be big, as families typically have more than ten children. My own is somewhat more modest, and it's just behind the trees in the third photo. I have been here for two years, which is quite a long time for me to stay in one place. Time to move on soon. Where do you think I should go next?
Lucky you driving through this street daily, with the beautiful palm trees. mmm your next destination..maybe something that is completely the opposite?
ReplyDeleteNext? Denmark of course ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe perfect place ?
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I found your blog - one of the reasons I joined corner view.

ReplyDeleteAhmed
SO LONG
how about iceland? that would be super adventurous.
ReplyDeletethe bit about 10 kids still has me reeling. do you mean 10 kids and many servants? yowser. your views always give me something to think about, ian.
Oh am I late? Did you decide up?
ReplyDeleteI'm curious what's your criteria to choose your next destination?
Well, without any data how true to advise you go to X-land, or Y but..
I think you should go to Istanbul. I do not know if you've been to but the city has everything itself. You can find a little Paris, a little Venice, a little Germany, a little London, a little Iran, a little Egypt, a little South Africa,.. A well known fact that Istanbul is a cosmopolite city, including people from all parts of the world. Because of the economic crisis hitting the money markets globally, the number of foreigners immigrating to the city is in increase! Could you please share your next destination when you come up.
Nihal, thank you, I have been to Turkey twice and I agree that Istanbul is a wonderful city. I have a Turkish friend who has invited us to stay on his farm, so I may even go a third time. Next month I will be in Spain and Gibraltar.
