Hari ni masih off tak de buat apa apa lepak lepak kosong depan lappy chatting dengan teman teman homesick seperti biasa. Semalam pegi service centre tak pasal pasal kena caj BD12 hanya untuk configure settings yang tak sampai 5minit. Apa nak buat intenet adalah sebahagian dari hidup aku especially bila jauh dari tanah air.Actually aku dah start blog ni semenjak last year Ramadhan, tapi setiap kali itu juga aku keep on deleting my entries. Rasa macam tak bersedia. Now rasanya tak akan delete lagi biarlah ia kekal buat tatapan teman teman rapat dan tatapan diri sendiri kala sunyi menjengah. Bukan apa cuma terasa rendah diri coz aku memang tak pandai menulis tapi now dah ada confident sikit. Ok since now aku bermastautin kat Bahrain so let me talk about it serba sedikit so you guys tak payah susah susah nak search kat Wikipedia ok.
Yang gambar tu adalah peta ringkas Bahrain tak besar. It's a (small in size) group of 33 islands located just off the eastern coastline of Saudi Arabia in the Persian Gulf. The largest island is Bahrain Island. Long ruled by Arabs, the ancient land of Bahrain was an important trading center, dating all the way back to Roman times. Modern causeways connect the four main islands, and all are connected to Saudi Arabia by the 16-mile-long King Fahd Causeway. Similar to numerous other Arab states, Bahrain had a long relationship with the United Kingdom, until declaring its independence in 1971. It joined the United Nations that very year. Most of the modern population is concentrated around Manama, the capital city, and much of that population (about 30%) are non-Bahraini immigrants. This land (especially Bahrain Island) is primarily barren desert, with a limestone surface. Petroleum processing and refining, as well as international banking are the major industries. Repressive heat and humidity are commonplace here, especially in summer, and most tourists arrive in the somewhat cooler months, November - February. Population cuma 688,300 widely spoken language kat Bahrain ni Arabic, English, Farsi and Urdu. Currency dia Bahraini Dinar (BHD) . Bahrain is comprised of 1 large and 32 smaller islands. Almost all of Bahrain's main island is a low-lying rocky, sandy plain. Coastal salt marshes are common, central and south. There are no significant rivers or lakes. 12 municipalities, including: Al Hadd, Al Manamah, Al Mintaqah al Gharbiyah, Al Mintaqah al Wusta, Al Mintaqah ash Shamaliyah, Al Muharraq, Ar Rifa' wa al Mintaqah al Janubiyah, Jidd Hafs, Madinat Hamad, Madinat 'Isa, Juzur Hawar and Sitrah. Climate Bahrain is hot and dry in the summer months, with very high humidity and no rain. Winters are mild and quite pleasant. July, August and September are the hottest months with high temps averaging near 97º f. Winter lows seldom fall below 55º f. Attractions The 'Tree of Life', growing in the country's arid desert, with no visible source of water, best describes Bahrain: "Full of surprises and contradictions." Visitors will enjoy the blending of antiquities and modern architecture, and especially so in the capital city of Manama, where the skyline reflects the old - with mosques and minarets, and the new - with modern, stylish skyscrapers. No visit to Bahrain is complete without a shopping trip to the Soukh; this market offers all types of wares, including luxurious fabrics and regional fashions, jewelry of all description, exotic spices, and the flavors and scents of locally-grown produce. Other must-see attractions include the Al-Khamis Mosque, with its beautiful twin minarets; Arad Fort; Bahrain (Portuguese) Fort; the Royal Tombs; Muharraq Island, and Oil Well No. 1, the first oil well in Bahrain and in the entire Gulf Region. For the sport enthusiasts Bahrain offers thoroughbred horse racing, world-class golf courses, and many scuba diving venues. And for racing fans, Formula 1 Racing (F1) added Bahrain to its annual circuit in 2004. With all of the offshore islands, beaches are everywhere, and most are reportedly clean, safe and well managed. Western travelers should maintain a high level of security awareness when visiting Bahrain. There have been occasional demonstrations in some of the villages, along with sporadic acts of politically related arson or vandalism.
