Thou shall remember....

....dedicated to all those who intend to move back home from the US in the near future.

Thou shall remember....

- water comes from a TAP and not a faucet
- TAP water is not potable - not even by mistake
- there is a 'U' in labor, color, parlor
- an apartment is a house and a house is a villa
- if you don't yell into a phone, the person at the other end will presume u are down with a sever cold/cough/fever.
- date of birth, gender, religion (no, cricket is not an accepted religion), marital status and nationality are important components of a resume
- there are two kinds of drivers on the street - rash drivers and very rash drivers (the rest are killed in accidents)
- Wireless High Speed internet is a luxury
- "loving your independence in USA" is not a polite thing to say in society
- it's not ok to say "aaaaaarrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" at the end of the day

The pain of adjustment....Miss you Amreeka!!

I understand what you mean by wireless being a luxury. I took my laptop around in Muscat and didn't find even 1 wireless spot!

I still don't understand why religion would have to be on the resume :)
