Kergeen

I don't know whether any of you have ever been to a certain restaurant - if it can be called so - by the name of Kergeen. But if you have, and you know what I am talking about herein, then you would understand my point of view of this place and where my arguement is leading to..

Kergeen, by all standards, is by far, the biggest and most worst fire hazard that the Omani fire department would have to deal with, if, God forbid, it was set mistakengly into a blaze. Not to mention it is also the worst health hazard, ever, because it is set in the public area.

If you have noticed the place, it is totally made up of wood - wooden shades, wooden columns, wooden furniture and even wooden pallets. The place is also infested with roaches, rats, and food littered all over the pebbled floor.

I am curious, though..

How is it, that an organization, such as Muscat Muncipality, which looks deeply into such matters for various restaurants, cafe's and other tourism establishment, could overlook such a place as this with a very long list of the simplest violations going against them..?

Is someone being bribed somewhere, here?

lol..

1st: if it's your favorite hangout place, then you should take a second look at how it's spelt. It's Kergeen and secondly there is no right spelling for any Arabic word translated into the English language.

3rd: you're right about the part whereby a fire can occur at any place like you suggested in restaurants or cafe's but at least those places have people from the muncipality breathing down their necks (or however that phrase goes) because of simple fire preventive measures like having fire hoses/estinguishers and the such..

wouldn't you think? ;o)
