Gulf Cup Traffic

Okay, so I just spend nearly one whole hour stuck in the car due to the traffic that is caused by the parading omanis whom are celebrating Oman's victory in the match today against Iraq. Alright, so I understand their happiness, I understand that there are very little events in the country that people just want a reason to blow off some steam, but COME ON! This is just absolutely ridiculous, guys and girls dancing like idiots in the middle of the streets waving flags in their cars that are covered in the most tacky stickers I've ever seen, forcing the rest of us who just want to get back home or get by our lives to get stuck in that horrific crowd.

The shatti areas were a complete mess today, It normally takes me around 5 minutes to get home (I was having dinner there with friends) but getting out of that disaster of a crowd was just nerve wrecking. It even extended to the high road, and the khuwair traffic light intersection looked like it was hit by an atomic bomb, luckily I didn't have to get into that and just took a U turn on my way to M.Q, and yeah the only reason I had to take the high road was because the police blocked the bridge that takes you to M.Q from shatti.

I personally don't condone such behavior that just puts a halt to everyone's life whether they want to be a part of it or not and I think that the R.O.P are doing a horrible job in controlling it.
