Thursday Nights
Thursday nights in Bahrain are the Friday nights of the western world; it's when the weekend begins. Just to give you an idea of how it looks for me:
The People Development team hold their meetings in the @ office at 6PM and at around 5:30 the office slowly fills with laugher and activity. There is no better way to end the week than with a group of people who bring a high energy and excitement around the work that they're doing.
Back in the apartment, John, Claude and I chilled over dinner and a dvd until we decided to go for a walk, followed by a rediculous night in Muharraq.
Tonights discovery: a shisha cafe held up by wooden sticks and tied together with rope and rooms divided by canvass and plastic sheets and benches as high as tables and doshegs as hard as rocks and shisha and smooth as um, i don't know, really smooth shisha i guess. It in all looked like a picthed tent with different sections that created a private yet energized community environment. Of course in this community I was the only female, which makes me feel lucky and a bit uncomfortable at times. This shisha place to me, was perfection.
An idea would be to package it and sell as kind of a portable chain shisha cafe. It may fit into a suitecase or a trunk maybe. I would never do that because it would ruine its beauty but I bet that I just discovered a new way to franchise.
It's 3:24 am, my bs hour now must come to a close but first I would like to say thanks to the following people:
PD Team for ending my week with laughs
John for mastering the art of BS journalism
Simi for taking part in the craziness
Claude for the can of goodness
pictures to be posted tomorrow and stay tuned for Muharram part II
