The adventures of Bahrain

With all the political uproar in the Middle East, (which to be honest i don't understand), I have been reflecting on what I remember the Middle East to be.
The latest new is in Bahrain, the small island in the Gulf that not many people have heard about. I practically lived there in the summer of 2009 with the then BF, who worked for the national airline.
The two of us had a lot of time on our hand and got to do a lot of things on this small island. I loved Bahrain, (he did not, probably because I got to leave it all the time and he was stuck there).
I wanted to share a few photos from the country of Bahrain that I know, and not the one that is there now.
