Hey dude! How long ya been in Bahrain? One of my favorite places on Earth. If you haven't been to Asha's for Pani Puri, do it. It's near the gold souq.

Also, check out Navaratna (4HF8+3X2, Rd No 523, Riffa, Bahrain). If any place could make me vegetarian, it would be this place. Holy hell.

If you are looking for rugs, peacock rugs just off shawarma alley also has a deal with the base, but just make sure that if you buy a Nain rug, it's actually Nain...just because they have a deal with the base doesn't mean they are not going to totally rip you off. Know what you are purchasing...every detail about it. I caught them trying to do this to me on several "nain" rugs. Their Qum rugs are the best I had seen though.

For the best Thai food (my wife is Thai and she said its better than some restaurants in Bangkok) head over to Honey restaurant and grab some tom yum and kor moo yang (grilled pork)...man I miss that place. I wish we had their chefs here in the states lol.

Also, if you haven't made it out to the racetrack on Sunday nights (I think its Sunday nights) for their open track night, it's a hell of a lot of fun, and sometimes, some of the rich Saudis will let you drive their Ferrari's if you befriend them. It's a fun time.

I admit it was better (more fun) 20 years ago when you could drive over the bridges doing 130MPH, but now,at least it's a little safer to drive there...hahaha.

When the cable company comes to install your coax, if they don't bury it that day and leave, call them and tell them it's a tripping hazard. They will be out the next day. I had xfinity do this to me where they installed the new line after replacing a faulty one, and just left it on the ground across my yard (about 80 feet of cable) for over a month. I called every day and they kept saying they can't and were sorry for the inconvenience. I also had to mow around it, then stop mowing, move the cable then continue again...serious pain in the ass. When I told one support rep that I was probably going to run it over one of these days, she got super defensive and started accusing me of threatening to damage their equipment. It was wild. Anyways...the moment I said to a different rep that it was a safety concern, they were out the next day and buried it.

TLDR; use safety as a reason to get them to actually do the shit they need to.
