This country is what it is. We are guests here and must act accordingly. I am not one to try and change the local customs and policies. If the local people have always driven like maniacs then that is their way. I try to stay out of their way and be patient with them.

 As far as living expenses, I do see that housing and other necessities are skyrocketing. I feel sorry for the people who are struggling to survive on their salaries. I know that many of our fellow expatriots have come abroad to make a better life for their families and are now stuck barely scraping by. I recently saw that many workers were striking in Bahrain. Is this an option here?

 I have been here for three years. I don't mind living here. I love to fish and also enjoy house parties and bar-b-ques. We make our own fun. Are there any other fishermen or fisherwomen out there?
