I am a Compulsive Gambler and former professional poker player online since I lost all my teeth to bad mental health. Gamble free since 2017. A few months later found bitcoin, then I purchased some satoshi in 2018. Did a 180, got rid of everthing from the gambling days. Now using linux, skincare, niche fragrances, wet shaving, better fitting clothes, carnivore, metal genre \m/ and running. Bitcoin saved my life and I'm Bitcoin only.
Right outside my front door, sand dunes
Didn't just realise until now when shaving.
My arm is quite red from the sun.
The other arm is slightly red.
Was too tired yesterday - no sleep, and this morning to notice.
Now I have, suncream on the arms as well as my face now.
Enjoying the constant Muscat sunshine.
The people you meet.
Makes you feel welcome in a new country.
Whilst in the taxi with a random person - friend of driver.
Looks like I'll get a custom tour of all the sights tomorrow.
Incredible.
Went to the evening souq.
Got some fragrance oils.
Stocked up.
Thought I was roped into the shop. But the next lane was full if fragrance shops.
Didn't matter.
What s maze, tiny lanes. What a history.
Burning incense, burning frackensense.
What an aroma
Tasted some omani sweets.
Different.
Nougat, and then like chocolate toffee jelly like mixture.
Interesting
A sight to behold. Quad bike racing on the sand dunes. Gotta give that a go some day.
Tucking in a chicken style Omani dish
Cracking on with 31 hours no sleep.
Muscat is a pleasant city. warm inviting.
Most people know some English.
Chilling in the Mall of Oman.
This thing is enormous, quite litetally.
5 hours of shopping before I can drop my luggage off in the flat.
Its only half eight in the morning, and I've already ditched jumper and jacket.... So warm, hmmm.
Grrr , since I still have my suitcases....
Can enter accommodation at 3pm
What a serene start to my holidays
A lovely and warm 17c at quarter to 8am.
Had a mix up at the airport.
Bags after passport control.
So couldn't get to the airport hotel airside.
Lost 56 euro.
Working off no sleep.... Warm already, what a change from freezing Ireland
The scene in Muscat is serene
Time to fly
Typical of me, anticipated. And check in of luggage opens 3 hours before. I'm here 4.5 hours before......
Nice and early at the airport this morning.
Waiting for check in to open.
Then munch on breakfast in the lounge
Thinking of playing poker tournament's again.
In Ireland, at Christmas, the games are so juicy.
There is a 200 euro 40k gtd tournament in Port Laoise on 27th December.
Hmmmm
