Hello
Hello :D Nice to hear that you've visited Bahrain! Just to clarify something, we don't hate Americans. We know that the people have no say about one man's disturbed views of freedom and justice. Anyhow, just to clarify something, the long, white dress that men wear is not Islamic nor does it relate to Islam in any way. It is simply a traditional dress that men in the Gulf usually wear. Peace..

what not to wear
hi... sorry it took me a while to respond... honestly, i was there very briefly, so it might be better to ask a local what to wear/what not to wear... however i felt comfortable wearing an ankle-length skirt and a loose-fitting top WITH sleeves (showing shoulders is offensive in many asian countries). hope that helps :-) enjoy your trip!

I'm going to build myself a house EXACTLY like this casino (well, smaller), down to the moss and crumbling walls. *swoon*

Homesick-shmome-sick
Youre not missing too much here missy - just a gray, cold world and lots of schoolwork! I did however make peanut butter balls which is quite exciting. I love making lists of the food Ill eat when I get home whenever Im far away. Its really a great way of passing the time.. I usually do it from A to Z (a - apple crisp, B - buttered popcorn, C - chocolate truffles ... and so on!) ... If youre wondering why my comments are all backwards its because I read your blogs from present to past. Dont ask me why. Im almost caught up.

Youre adorable!
I must say my favorite part of this whole thing is the description of your new toothbrush. Youre so cute! The combination of the egg roll debacle and the spitting of the red-blood looking ickyness makes this the cutest blog ever.

Water and electronics don't go together!
Dude you are one crazy mo-fo trying to get some good shots by standing in the water. The rocks don't look to be slippery but that pic of you with the camera on the rocks looks like a wet camera waiting to happen! Be safe and have fun! Peace

we wish that too...
unfortunately, the cheap ones don't work scuba diving (they can't go past a few feet deep) and we can't afford a deep-water one! but believe me, we want one... maybe some day.
