Bahrain will organize the biggest sporty event in the world and in the middle east especially.. It's the Formula 1..

Bahrain is one of the Gulf States, isn't it? Is it near Saudi Arabia. Please tell us more about your country.

Formula 1 cars are the Indy cars, right? When is that event going to be held?

Welcome to our forum!

Bahrain is a small country east of Saudi Arabia, population appx. 677,000. It's on the Persian Gulf. Life expectancy is 71.28 years for males, 76.24 years for females, with an overall life expectancy of 73.72 years. (Source: CIA World Factbook) The currency is the dinar.

Good .. So what about the Bahraini people??

Hi, Ibnalshaikh, and welcome. Living in Britain, the picture we have is shaped by the press, which tends to be rather insular and self-obssessed here. Therefore, the smaller states like Bahrain tend to get less coverage, while the larger ones like Saudi Arabia do get a lot more.

However, Bahrain has featured in the press here, because of the elections, where women could both stand and vote. I would say that Bahrain, in the eyes of the British newspaper reader, would, therefore, be considered a more modernising and go ahead state, in contrast to its conservative neighbours. ;-)

PS- Many would also know that it is an island.

You're the only Bahraini person I know. Tell me something about yourself.

The one thing that impresses me is that Bahrain has elections. Apparently, it is a more liberal society than most of its neighbors. (I think Qatar is going in that direction too.) It's interesting that women have the vote there. By "stand and vote" do you mean that they can run for office as well as vote?

My ignorance of Bahrain is profound. Perhaps you could educate me? Tell me a little about the educational system perhaps?

Woman can bote vote and stand for office in Bahrain. ;-)

It must be quite a progressive little country--quite unliike Saudi Arabia, for example.

 

[ibnalshaikh]

Red5.. You didn't offend me .. Don't care ..

RonBee: you have to look up more and more and tell me your impressions.. It's like a homework :lol:

 

[RonBee]

Bahrain is an island country. It is hot and dry.
The standard of living there is quite high.



(Say: "What is your impression of my country?")

 

[ibnalshaikh]

[ibnalshaikh]
