It’s lucky I got back from Bahrain last week, sounds like I might be barricaded in my hotel room about now if I hadn’t gotten out of there.
Things were very calm when I was over- in fact it’s a lovely place with very friendly people, good weather (in the winter) and surprisingly decent bars. They’re not like those nutters who don’t let you indulge in a light ale as respite after a long day- in fact I think it’s compulsory.
My favourite moment in Bahrain was getting into one of the many Hackney cabs they have over there, and seeing it driven by a guy in full arab regalia, carrying a hawk.

Should have seen it coming really though, when I arrived at the airport I spotted what appeared to be a whole troupe of the Emperor off of Star Wars. It was only a matter of time before it all kicked off.
10 minutes later, the whole place was knee-deep in broken glass. And on fire.
Good sun protection those burkas give. Did you stock up?
Badger Rex- No, unfortunately they make my bum look big
