The Adventures of Little Ethnic Man

We'll call him LEM for short.

As a graduation present this past summer, our STARTALK Arabic teachers gave each student a pocket-sized, vaguely-Arabian-looking plush weeble person. We lovingly dubbed him "Little ethnic man" just to be on the safe side of not offending any particular ethnicity.

Naturally I brought him with me to Muscat and he has been having the time of his life LEM has his morning coffee LEM gets new clothes for Eid LEM eats a traditional Omani meal LEM goes grocery shopping for the essentials LEM is unable to emotionally process the fact that it's raining LEM dies alone in the hot Arabian sun
Just a silliness for now but I'll have posts about Eid and Halloween and cultural stuff up soon!
