Ten Signs of Bahraini Summers

Ten Signs of Bahraini Summers

The following are the suresigns of summer’s arrival in Bahrain:

  1. Blackouts at the most unholiest hours of the day
  2. Despite #1, you end up paying more for your electricity bill at the end of the month
  3. When you find an ‘Al-Waseet’ laying around, you look for swimming pools to rent.
  4. Wherever you drive you will likely see at least 3 or 4 kids learning how to drive… on every main road from 7 am to 6pm!
  5. You hear that your friends are either going to Makkah, Dubai or Thailand for their holidays
  6. Every week your family are invited to at least one wedding or ‘Henna’
  7. You can’t touch your car’s steering wheel when you first get in the car.
  8. You realise a bit too late that your car’s A/C gas has run out
  9. Turning on the hot water tap to wash your hands because it is actually much cooler than the supposed ‘cold water’
  10. Seeing kids riding their bikes and preparing to play football in the neighbourhood at 3 am!

Do you have any more?
