Where am I? I am in the Coffee Bean in Bahrain. A Starbucks lite place also found in Shanghai oddly enough. Pudong Airport was dead when I flew out on Wednesday night. I slept most of the way and awoke in Dubai dazed and confused. Another 4 hours of aimless wandering until I caught the connecting 55 minute flight to Bahrain. A brief drive to the serviced apartment and it was like I have never been away. Then a quick drive to my companies head office to sign some forms and the rest of the day was mine. I brought some food and crashed and slept for 11 hours. The next day was a Friday which is the first day of the weekend here so again I had time to burn. Thankfully I knew people out here that I have worked with in Shanghai and its all been very friendly and jovial and a world away from the tension and gloom of our office in China. Its Saturday morning and I am due to look at some houses and meet the people I will be working with over the next few years. I hope the next few years. If I have to move country and find somewhere else to live in the next six months I will know I have been cursed or my Karma is fucked.
