I was going to post a bunch of pictures, but I'm not on my computer, so maybe tomorrow. I am finally out of the hotel and staying with one of the vets, Natalie. She has a very sweet chocolate lab and a kitty. It's really nice to hang out with a dog outside of the clinic setting. One of the clinic's cats got adopted, so of course there was one immediately brought in needing fostering and adoption, maybe two weeks old.
I've decided that when I grow up I want to be an expat, and live in a bunch of places, all of which adhere to the European standard of 6 weeks vacation per year. Americans are insane, working million hour work weeks 51 weeks a year.
Ok, more clinic differences: all vaccines are given yearly here. A lot of the business is in import and export.
Similarities: everyone complains about the boss. Wussy people have bad dogs who think they are in charge (difference being that the vet here actually said the words "It's your fault.").
One of the nurses brought in a baby bird that she found at the British School, a yellow vented bulbul. They eat fruit and we all had fun feeding the bird tiny bits of melon and bananas.
I don't think I will be able to on this trip, but I really want to visit Salalah in the South of Oman, where there is a little more rain.

You should definitely be an expat! Totally legit life plan. That bird sounds hella cute dude. Are baby birds eating melon and bananas as adorable as turtles eating corn niblets? I hope so.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen turtles eat corn niblets, but I think that actually sounds cuter than the bird.
