Bahrain 2013: Ramadan Kareem

During Ramadan, all restaurant closed in order to respect this holy Month of Ramadan.
This is the local brand fast food: Jasmi's

I follow my cousin and uncle to this tailor shop that tailor high quality suits, etc.

I did follow my cousin for taraweeh prayer at the nearby mosque. It was a great experience though. They all mostly in black, but we Malaysian like to pray with white. Since I don't look local - Chinese or east Asian looking are pretty rare - I feel that maybe they see me a little bit 'rare' haha. There's a lot of Indian, Nepalese, Indonesian and Filipino working in Bahrain.
But we everyday pray taraweeh at home.
Malaysian here are mostly professional worker, like engineer, architect, etc..

During Ramadan, I follow my aunt, cousin, uncle to go shopping.
Basically we just stay in the house most of the time due to hot weather outside (its summer here).

Some vegetables that are normal vegetable in Malaysia like okra is frozen.
Since Bahrain is a desert-like topography, it doesn't allow any vast agriculture - in other word, it is not suitable.
TOP: Bottled chocolate water... I found it rather peculiar! lol

This is the popular brand here for Milk.

More photos here on our break-fast food here in Bahrain!

Bahrain 2013: Departure

Basically what I gonna write about in this blogpost is my experience on a different airplane than I usually take: MAS and AirAsia.

For departure to Bahrain, I took SriLankan Airlines. We had transit at Colombo, Sri Lanka.
SriLankan airline is the cheapest to go Bahrain. Well, it is economical.

My Electromagnetic lecturer is a Sri Lankan.
I really like the way he teach. He really try his best to make us understand this subject.
Many people failed this subject. Surprisingly I got A! Wow... Didn't expect that at all.

By the way, it seems like lots , lots of my friend are going vacation/internship overseas, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan, New Zealand, USA, Australia, Europe... Some went oversea few times!
So rich ahh?? The peer pressure has been up to another limit!

Well, I guess... none went to this part of the globe: The ARABIAN GULF country.
Except those who study at Oman or Egypt...
Well, now pretty much not suitable to visit the middle east anyway...

Well, lets continue about my journey from Malaysia to Bahrain!
By the way, I depart to Bahrain when it is still during fasting month of Ramadan. But due to the journey through plane, we are not fasting on that day.

The journey:
KLIA, Malaysia >> Colombo, SriLanka ~~ 3 hour 35 minute
Colombo, SriLanka >> Manama, Bahrain ~~ 5 hour 20 minute

SriLankan Airlines

The different airplane's model position for easy parking and embarking of passengers.
