Running Partner / Running Groups by EdwardBH
Anyone in need of a running partner? Are there any running clubs in Bahrain?
"Hashing" aside ;) Bahrain Road Runners is great - they have fantastic events and they do a 3km or 5km run every weekend. They have Junior runners as well so you don't need to be super fit to attend. Great group of people who are ... Read More

Hi Everyone, I thought I would share our experience with anyone who needs information about schools. We were torn between St Christopher's and The British School of Bahrain. We have 2 children one in year 6 and one in year 8. Having called both ...
Yeah - Sorry Jo! I took it for granted that everyone knew you were not one of the people we were referring to. You are the complete opposite of them!Aww thanks :) I have had a response from the school. It doesn't say much except that they ... Read More

Well done Josnuggles for copying the comments to both schools. However, our experience was also awful with the Admissions staff at St Chris on more than one occasion and we were of the same mindset - if this is what the school considers to be their ... Read More
Souk & Food Shopping by Kristina_P
Hi Everyone, Just arrived to Bahrain, our first week here. Tried to shop for vegetables in Al Jazira supermarket last night, but both fruit and vegetables were not very fresh and expensive (like potatos BD2.20/kg seems a bit pricey, but I might be ...
Try again with Central Market when the weather cools down. It's a great way to meet the locals and they are up for a bit of haggling too. Get one of the guys with the trolleys for about 1bd and he will load everything in your car at the end. ... Read More

job for my wife by balazsszucs
Hi there, A question has came up in my family. Once when me and my famlily arive to Bahrain, set up our life, is it difficult to find a job for my wife? Se is a lawyer, "unfortunatley" she is specialized on public administration and ...
My point was that if she is not a commercial/banking lawyer it might be difficult. My speciality is not in those areas and in order to do anything other than those, Arabic is pretty much a must. Read More

In my experience, unfortunately, it will be quite difficult to find a job in the law firms here. They tend to be very commercial/finance based and if she can't speak/write Arabic it's very hard. My advice is for her to learn Arabic in her ... Read More

Recommendations for Friday Brunch suitable for children too by MummyT
Morning all, We are (unfortunately) heading back to the UK after the weekend and wanted to go to a Friday brunch with our son (6). I was wondering if those of you with children could pass on any recommendations of places which might have some form ...
I have heard the Brunch at Ramee Grand is good and I know they have stuff for kids. It's a decent price and if you get the vouchers from Together in Bahrain I think it's about 15bd each and half price for kids. The other good one is the ... Read More

I don't think it makes a difference what you look like or how you spell. Some people just send messages to all females and wait for a response of any kind.I believe it is called 'Spray and Pray"Hahahahaha - never heard that expression ... Read More

Have you tried the supermarkets? Carrefour, Geant and Lulu. Lulu especially tends to be good value. For real bargain cheaper stuff you can try Ansar Gallery, Al Anwar Discount store and the various Bahrain Pride, Kingdom Pride stores around the ... Read More

Do you recommend Mazda ? by 3daddict
Hi, I'm about to buy a new Mazda 3, I'd like to know if anyone has good or bad feedback about Mazda in general. Regards, M
I rented a Mazda 3 (not the latest model) which was fine. Fast enough to get out of "situations". But I have to say that with 3 kids it was a bit small and with it being that much smaller, I did tend to get pushed around by bigger ... Read More
