Monthly Wrap Up
Wow, so I just spent a good 2 hours piecing together my Bahrain trip, only for it to all get erased. So instead of immediately retyping that incredibly long entry, I'll just save it for later and do this one dedicated to what I've learned in my first ...
Bahrain by car.
... "carpenter". Well, duh. I think I'm just spoiled by the wonderful reveal of the Dubai museum. So that completes my time in Bahrain; a small country that's nice enough, I guess, but not a real metropolis like Dubai. It's trying hard, and there's plenty ...

Tallinn-Frankfurt-Bahrain-Singapore-Sydney

Back In Bahrain
... was a little above zero so it was a bit of a shock to step out of the hotel into the searing 370 heat of a Bahrain morning. Three other Australians joined us before we drove to our first destination, a genuine Islamic mosque (the only mosque in Manama ...
Mana-Rama

Bahrain is insain!

Pacing the Cage in Manama
There's a lot of money in Bahrain, but it doesn't look like much of it has been spent on the airport. The terminal building is basically a long, shabby corridor, filled with people wandering aimlessly up and down like lions pacing ...

Cairo to Bahrain
... we visited are our opinions, not everyones. We did enjoy it, it was just rougher than we expected. We arrived in Bahrain about 7PM, we couldn't belive the terminal. It was all decorated for Christmas, Santa, snowman, Christmas music. It really hit ...
2 Days in Bahrain
... that is technically not pc. meh. On the island is a fairly large U.S. military base. Haji told me that upon visiting BaHrain, I might understand why some Middle Easterners have such a bad opinion of Americans...and boy was he right. I am not going to ...
Overnight in Bahrain
