Well Black Friday was in full effect here in Bahrain, although not from locals out in town. I was on the base to do some laundry, and there were some serious lines inside the Navy Exchange (little shopping store for non-military folks). I'm not sure if the deals were that good, or that we have been conditioned to shop on the day after Thanksgiving. A question to ponder, and ironic since I was reading a very anti consumption book at the time.
As for the hotel, I'm in a very nice place, but just doesn't quite have the kitchen to do much. From talking to folks here, the options are a furnished flat or executive apartments. Since the cost to me will be the same, I'm not sure what to do.
Option 1, Flat: The one that I saw yesterday was spacious and nice. Looked like maybe three bedrooms, a sitting room, a dinning room, and a big kitchen. The most impressive thing was the small pool on the back patio. I've heard that is pretty common.
Option 2, Executive Apartments: The link shows one that I've heard about. I'm sure there are others. This just seems to have everything I need and am leaning this way. I'm sure there will be more to report after I visit later.
All the best, and here is picture of Grand Mosque here in Bahrain.
