I don't know exactly, but seems so...

It's like Ajman (the part of reach country, but so poor) or Dubai 10 years ago...

10) You can find alcohol everywhere. (They don't need a license).
11) If you have a driving license of your country... no need to change it into local one.


P.S. ("Business friendly" stamp in my passport - it's visa of Bahrain)

How are pricings for general goods over there?
You know, like food, beverages, gasoline, housing, cars, occasional chick etc etc

One of our friend is renting the flat & Office in downtown. Rent is AED 8000/ p.m.

Gasoline... (I'll post a picture later...).

Food & Beverages... the same. The difference in rates - minus Zero (AED 100 = BD 10) All the Bills looks so funny...

80% Europians is over the mark.. and is not true
Taxies in Bahrain are crap and extremely expensive...

however, Bahrain in general reminds of Dubai 10 years ago... I love it when I go on Business trips to Bahrain, its like a quick vacation for me

I wish i could move and work their... life is easier and more flexible

F&B are more or less the same as Dubai...

but electronics and luxury goods are much expensive than Dubai...

I really want to visit bahrain, has very good reputation in expats for being very modern arabic country. might go this winter

I had a long weekend in Bahrain last month and really liked it. Managed to see pretty much anything of interest in 3 days, so wouldn't want to live there, but enjoyed my stay immensely.

How do you know? You may be mistaking brown or hazel-eyed brunette high-cheek boned Europeans with excellent jaws for Filipino or other Asians.

Physcotic is more like it or somekind OCD involing doing anything to prove that you don't like a filipino and will keep repeating that until people make a mockery out of you !

Something went seriously wrong somewhere, mama didn't love you enough or was papa a rolling stone

*Sigh* If only mom and dad were Mick Jagger and Bianca Jagger. Not sure if I would have wanted Keith Richards and Patti Hansen as parents.
