MISFAH, OMAN


























This beautiful place is called Misfah Al A'briyeen.. it is located on top of a hill.. it has a beautiful view.. this place was build many years ago by their great grand grand fathers.. it was actually a place for local people to hide and defend themselves from the British Army.. and few local tribe people.. people in Oman used to live in tribes a.k.a 'kabilah'.. they usually fight among the tribes..


Their are still people living here in Misfah.. In this village, 'falaj' is a source of water for daily used as to water their plants, washing, bathing, drinking and many more.. one interesting thing yo can find here is that 'date' trees are build on man-made hill slope.. they will first build like a bowl wall on the rocky hill slope.. then that bowl will be filled up with soil.. then they will plant their date trees and corns..


the last picture was a picture taken at our apartment.. our Filipino neighbour were having a party for their Dean, who is a Malaysian.. they are Nursing students here in Nizwa.. it was fun and we all ate like crazy that night.. they were all dancing and singing.. haha.. it was quiet a while that i have not seen people dancing, besides in tv.. huhu.. well.. we're off to Muscat today.. daa.. till then.. chiow..
