Instead of long distance calls, we almost communicate daily over the internet with our YAHOO MESSENGER. At first it was the fun of talking to my friend over in a FOREIGN COUNTRY and exploring my curiousity about living elsewhere and what it was like. I can even read their newspaper without 'subscriptions' ... for FREE: http://gulf-daily-news.com. It seems as though Malls are changing tradition and further dividing the 'haves' from the 'havenots'. More Bahrainians have cars and are getting away from open-air marketplaces.
-Well, it seems that he went over on special assignment as a medical expert (R.N.) and ended up retiring & starting a new career(s). He is exploring the wonderful world of fashion design and other venues as well. The catalog he is working on now is really hot ... ask him for a copy!
He has mainstreamed and adapted well to the local customs. To many of us, going to Public Prayer daily would be extremely regimented; but to him, it has become very normal and it's scheduled into his day (like us having breakfast).

Sure he misses home; but, what he misses the most is MUSIC ... JAZZ, BLUES, & GOSPEL. Sharing our collections via downloads (since transmissions are somewhat slow) was a task ... soooooooooooo, he came up with his BLOG which truly opened up our lines of communication ... CONVERSATIONS ... PICTURES FROM BAHRAIN ... &&&&&&&&& MUSIC!!!
