Sunsets and Saudis

This is the view from the rooftop of our apartment. We have grand plans for this place. The gentle heat of the evening is a great experience.

Ahhh the Saudis. A giant nation sitting just across the bridge from Bahrain. They are everywhere, roughly 50% of Bahraini business is done with these guys. They cruise around Manama in big SUVs, cashed up and doing a lot of things that might not be as acceptable back in their homeland.

This was a casual walk in the streets near our office. The sun is setting over the Persian gulf. The image of palm trees, heat and sand is a lot more real than you might imagine.

Dark wood, highback leather chairs, wireless internet. Kristina (MCP Qatar, ex Austria) on the left and Claude (MCP Bahrain, ex USA) on the right.
