Time Lapse With A Canon Sd780 Is

Secrets of Omani homes

After admiring the roundabouts, you can imagine the frenzy gilded interiors.


I warn you, you will enjoy ...

From an external view the home are often cubes, blanched.

It degrades when the owner has money. Like the telephone or car, the house can be a sign of wealth.
plans become convoluted, the facade is adorned with color (palette varied enough and bold), or worse ... marble.



Omani women are veiled, I have already spoken, to cover their hair and their shapes (long and dyed with henna) the eyes of men, so as not to cause them to temptations. When a family receives Omani home, the men go into their living room, women and young children in another room.



Sometimes the door is common, but often there are two doors. The largest and most prestigious course is reserved for men ...

It's the same style of furniture and ornaments. In humans, gilding and luxury. In women, lack of comfort and hardiness (why, dirty children all, and for the time they spend in the kitchen, do not bother to load it!)

So, between these two pictures, which has followed?? So women, comfort is less luxurious. But the welcome is almost always great. How open-minded to these women to open their homes to these strangers who come from another planet! The meal is invariably the same: chicken-rice byriani sauce, served with a salad tomato, cucumber, eat sitting down with my fingers, off race. On numerous occasions we were invited at the last minute or so, and I admire these women which, on "order" leu husband cooked their meal with their pride and sense of hospitality, ancient tradition in these Gulf countries. Some details attracted my attention:

The beautiful rugs with the portrait of Sultan Qaboos, just below the air conditioning (hazardous in case of failure, it drips, and the carpet to absorb risk!)





The photo montage of the whole family, grandparents in the center, surrounded by their children, spouses, and grandchildren, on background "Hawaii", classy!





Brown plastic enamel, together with the many bouquets of artificial flowers ...


moldings, arches, tiles, mosaics and ironwork ... partitions to the Japanese, overlooking a marble staircase and wrought iron black and gold:

The unbeatable big TV, plugged 24/24, on cartoons, commercials with propaganda: A pretty carved door ... yum! In studio version, more modest, but you can see carpet, fan, air conditioning and television ...
And the rooms? Not seen. Just a hint, photo taken at the supermarket furniture:

Gulp!
