My final observations
... into a curly, sun bleached mess that I have now given up on. At school the mums are a mix of the sporty sorts or the designer gear sorts, they glow and look sultry. I on the other hand just look sweaty and resemble the wild woman of Borneo, with my frizzy mess upon my head. I could never, ever wear a suit to work here.

Bahrain Day #3 -- Touring the Island
... deck was dimly lit and a strange place – with American pop music playing over the intercom in a barren sphere. The view over the border controls was quite fascinating, however, and I could see the rest of the causeway lit up to Saudi Arabia as well as the lights of Saudi coastal cities across the water. This marks the second time I have been at the Saudi Arabia border – I was also there in April 2009 in southern Kuwait. One of these days ...
