Things to do in Bahrain

I am leaving to Bahrain for some work related stuff on Wednesday afternoon and coming back Friday night. Its my first time there so I was checking Lonely Planet to see what there is to do in Bahrain and I couldn’t find anything.

I heard Bahrain has good restaurants does anyone know anything about them? Any recommendations? How about malls, do they have like a shopping mall in Bahrain? Will I actually find something to do or should I expect to spend all my time in the hotel room watching TV?

update: just remembered Michael Jackson lives there now so it can’t be that bad

Couch Potato

This Eid holiday I have done nothing but be a couch potato. Nat is in Lebanon visiting her family so its been just me and Geo at home for the past 3 days. So far I have watched the first season of Brotherhood, the second season of The Contender and a a season and a half of Nip/Tuck. Oh and for dinner I just order Hardees which means once Nat gets back she is going to put me on fast food free diet for like a month or something…

Secret Admirer

Just found a small rose bouquet on the door step of my apartment. Someone either has a crush on me… or Nat. I am guessing its not me.

Back to Dubai?

Seems I might be going back to Dubai tomorrow for another photo shoot. I think this is the first shoot I am hoping won’t take place because I really wanted to spend the Eid holiday just being lazy at home. An interesting fact, the same room I stayed in just a few days ago is now nearly double the price and I am guessing its because of Eid.

Dubai after one day

Mobile phone prices are like the same price as Kuwait. Rent is wayyyyy more expensive. They don’t build one building, they build them in large clusters all at once. Drivers are worst then Kuwait. Girls are all like half naked. Kuwait is greener. Emirates mall is like Marina Mall times ten. They have larger variety of restaurants. Finally, consumers are not treated like idiots, they are valued.

The Hotel Lobby

So internet in the room is like 3KD an hour but internet in the lobby is free, so you can guess where I am sitting. Flight was great. Emirates have like 400 or something channels of on demand video. By the time I figured out what I wanted to watch we had already landed. Think I am going to go to “The Agency” now drink some wine and order some sushi from the Japanese restaurant next door.

Kuwait Airport

The walk from the long term parking to the main airport felt like a triathlon. I really need to start working out.

Good Morning Krispy Kreme

more krispy kreme

So I end my night eating 4 Krispy Kreme donuts (and thats in the car from Marina Mall to my house) only to wake up and come to work and have 4 boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts delivered to my desk. Someone working with Krispy Kreme read my blog and noticed I mentioned I only had the regular glazed donuts so I just got an assortment of various flavors.

I don’t know why I bother trying to diet..

Dunkin Donuts Vs Krispy Kreme

So I tried Krispy Kreme, and I have already tried Dunkin Donuts and honestly I have to say I prefer Go Nuts Donuts. Actually to be truthful I have only tried one donut from Go Nuts and its the “Choco Mallow Frost” and its just my favorite donut ever. Its not greasy like Krispy Kreme and its not heavy like Dunkin Donuts, its actually better then both combined. Hard to believe I know but its true.
