Movin' on up to the Bahrain side...

So this the next day. I've woken up without jet lag because I couldn't sleep on the plane worth a shit. Basically I was up for over 34 hours non-stop. But that will happen when you are making such a drastic change like this. Anyway, this is a picture of our kitchen. The apartment, I mean penthouse, that we live in is a brand new building. We are the first to live there, and we have half of the top floor and the largest apartment in the building. In the kitchen you can see marble countertops, an unused stove which will probably stay that way because food is piss cheap, and the water cooler. Those are absoultely necessary here. The tap water is not sanitary. It is piped in from the city, goes up to the roof of the building, sits in a big tank (and this is how they do it in all of Bahrain) and is gravity fed back down. Our building has an electric pump, but it doesn't do shit. The hot water tank is outside mounted to the wall as well and the switch is in the kitchen to turn it on, but trust me on this, you don't need to turn that bitch on. The "cold" water is already hot enough. Imagine a tank of water in 120+ weather all day. And that's the cold.
