Since then, I started loving this place, and it's just growing day by day. I don't feel like I'm in a gulf country,it's just like any other place. It's my second home.

Im British and grew up there from the age of 2, Im not 27 and still go back every year to visit familly still in bahrain. Its changed allot but still has a fantastic cosey feel to which has been mentioned allot in this thread! The alcohol just provides more of a freedom for its visitors and provides that night vibe that makes bahrain so special! The Sea during the day is the place to be! Go visit Jaradah love you Bahrain Bahrain isnt about the booze. Im British and grew up there from the age of 2, Im not 27 and still go back every year to visit familly still in bahrain.

Had a fourteen hour stay back in 2004 there while traveling to Kuwait and those turned out to be one of my life's most beautiful moments. Walked all the way from Bahrain's main market to Bahrain mall. It was all so green, water was crystal clear, Pearl Round About was magnificent. Above all, photography was fully allowed "anywhere". It was April and was probably the first F1 event being arranged on Bahrain's circuit. There were billboards of that all over the place. One shop in Bahrain mall had NOS cylinders available. I don't know if their were any legalities attached with their purchase but it was the first time I saw that stuff for sale in my life. The police there are so nice and humble even to expats like us, totally unlike Kuwait. One even helped us take snaps in Bahrain Mall. That was the only time I have ever been to Bahrain and I am dying to visit there again. My experience of Bahrain was like love at first sight.

For my taste, the warmth and coziness you experience when you get to bahrain is unrivalled in the region. Sure, it may not be as glitzy, nor as Russian, as Dubai, but it's a hundred times more authentic. It's like our own little Key west, sans Ernest Hemingway, right here in the Arabian Gulf. I'm with you Mark; I love Bahrain, too. Guys, booze can be found anywhere, you don’t hear people walking around saying I love Qatar.

The fact that Bahrain is an open-minded and liberaly country doesn't deem it necessary for you to take the liberty in calling it Bah-booze-rain. As Bahrainis we find it quite frustrating to have some GCC neigbhors flocking our country just to take advantage of the liberties that we have - alchohol, fine dining, awesome movie theaters, and kick as* shopping. Unfortunately, your GCC citizens give you a bad name because they drive over here, drunk like there's no tomororw, get behind the wheel, and drive killing so many Bahrainis as they speed back home.
