And there we have it. After a seemingly eternal build-up, Barack Obama has won the US elections. Good - I could never trust someone who shares his name with a brand of oven chips to lead the world's most powerful country.
We spent the morning at the US embassy, where we watched Obama's victory speech and heard from the US ambassador to Oman. Then we, um, mingled, or shall I say attempted to mingle, which basically consisted of our trying to track down the British Ambassador, who we planned on cornering. Our mission failed - he was nowhere to be found. So instead we tucked in to the Dunkin' Donuts and McArabia burgers which were on offer.
