Oman: an early Halloween

To celebrate the completion of the compound, we held early Halloween parties for the children and grownups. The kids had a great time dressing up and playing 'treat or treat', the modern version of the old tradition. I fear my zombie costume may have caused permanent emotional damage to one very young child.

While they tried to sleep stuffed with chocolate, sugar, food colouring and artificial flavouring, the adults celebrated with beer and curry. Click here for more photos of men in makeup.
