It was a great feeling to see a large part of Bahrain making great efforts to celebrate its 40th National Day. As an expat who has been witnessing the turmoils of Bahrain in the last few months, it was a delight to see the number of cars adorned with the national flag driving around the main roads of the kingdom. Everywhere we went there was a great spirit of celebration by both locals and expats. The most popular malls were abuzz with shoppers and people selling jackets, flags and caps sporting the national colours. The papers were full of pictures of citizens enjoying themselves at the aerobatic show and at Adhari Park.
A friend of the Whisperer and his lovely wife had a close call during their anniversary trip to Oman. After a lovely day of sight-seeing the happy couple took a guided tour to Wadi Shab – a beautiful canyon with a river running through the middle.
