So this time I was heading to Kenya. Well was kind of curious as to what this trip is going to be like. Events that took place before this trip back home in Bahrain were both sad as all the people living one of the easiest lives in any country I have ever been in, were complaining about higher salaries.
Well this trip started like most of the others with all the travel and blah blah (As I dont want to bore anyone with the details). Well the interesting part of this trip was not the actual work as the events that had taken place in Bahrain has totally diverted my attention from the actual work. The thing is, doing what I do for three years, and having done it over and over again, I can pretty much say that I can do it with my eyes closed now. So as my attention was diverted from work, I can safely say that it didnt effect my work much.
Ok, coming back to my view of things happening in Bahrain, as I saw it through Al Jazeera (Which I have learned not to trust as it only shows news that sells and not the reality), it was a complete chaos. the army and riot police have dispersed the crowds who made the Pearl Round about their vacation spot (Listen Al Jazeera, its round so it cannot be a square). On TV it looked like a war zone, so, as any person would do, my first call went out to my Parents but couldnt reach anyone over the phone. That just made my Paranoia go crazy. After finally getting in touch with the them and figuring out that they are safe and that the media is just blowing things out of proportion, I could actually have a piece of mind. From that time onwards, I decided to not watch Al Jazeera anymore and rely totally on my sources at home.
Well amid all these issues, I didnt manage to go for a safari trip but did enjoy the Zebra they served me at the hotel :)
