How can foreigners find out information?
You may recall that I wrote about meteorite hunters in Oman a while back.
Just over two weeks ago, John Blennert, the American gentleman who had created a website exhorting people not to visit Oman as a result of his experiences exploring for meteorites in the Sultanate, wrote to me. He was, as I find many Americans to be, extremely courteous.
Regardless of any notions of rights or wrongs in the way Mr Blennert acted or how the authorities reacted, I think he raises an interesting point.
How do foreigners find out what they can or can't do in the country? How does any newcomer find anything out?
