I have taken no less than 3-4 courses with them; both in-house and at their facility, I have to say that they fail miserably in achieving their objective.

Things I don’t like about them includes the fact that some of their instructors are not qualified to teach what ever courses they are teaching (I don’t want to be in a course where I correct the instructors on simple topics)

Another thing that I don’t understand is why do they give us (in most cases) the questions (and the answers) prior to the exam day? Isn’t the point to see if you actually understand what happened during the course?

Many other things about this institute needs to be improved, it has a great potential if the effort is put in it.

Let’s hope BIBF improves as I don’t look forward to sitting in more courses that I leave without any value added.

Started it on the way to kuwait and now I’m finishing it up on the way back to bahrain. So far the book is amazing. I totally recommend it, Paulo Poelho has a unique way of writing not to mention that this book has been translated into 61 languages.

The boat show isn’t bad at all.. but I hear that the kuwait boat show had a better variety of speed boats and smaller sized boats.

Here are few pictures I took at the boat show… the one above is obviously the one I loved the most.. it’s an Atlantis 47′ .. looks amazing .. and hopefully one day affordable ;)

If you are staying in bahrain and you don’t want to drive you should hire them, their prices are very competitive. You can hire the cab for 6 hours at the rate of 25 bd and 12 hours for the rate of 40 bd. Another thing is that they have women drivers in case you want it for your family.. Just mention It to them when you call.

Call them at +973 1746 1746

So far the music has been great.. The improvisation part is by far the greatest part of this concert..

Now its time to hit the buffet ;)

I will soon post something about La Fontaine and what I think about it

So today my mom and I headed there.. Things are so cheap and frankly some things seems to be durable! I bet with 20 or 40 bd you can walk out with few bags full of useful stuff. It reminds me of elmubarakiya souk in kuwait
