Issa Alriyami
My name is Issa, and I come from Oman. Oman is a beautiful country in the Arabian Gulf. It has about 59 towns and a population of more than two million people. My city-Bahla- is one of the most magnificent cities in my country, Oman. It has two very famous forts. They are: Bahla fort and Jibreen fort which was used to be the Imam Bilarab bin Sultan Palace.

As for the life in Manchester, where I did my English Course, and Reading, where I am doing my Bsc. degree in Quantity Surveying in one of the top universities in the United Kingdom, Reading University. I think it is extremely different from the life in my city Bahla; despite the fact that I can visit many wonderful places.

Prior to coming to the United Kingdom as a fully sponsored Omani Student by the Ministry of Higher Education, My father was always thinking of the new steps which I was going to do in my life and he was always telling me many things which he had experinced when being in other countries. My brother Said who graduated from the SQU - Sultan Qaboos University - as a Chemist is used to give me such useful pieces of advise that I may need. In addition, I could see the sadness in my little brothers eyes since they were going to miss me for about five years, but so far so good.
