I am really looking forward to the Students show in the sports complex.

Did they switch on the decorative lights on the streets? I was hoping they'd switch it on when I was there but sadly that didn't happen. It would be nice if some members posted some pictures of them over here for us Omanis whom are abroad. :p

Is this when they decorate street lamps and put up fancy signboards on them and stuff?
