Hi, I'm a member of our prestigious United States Navy... (ok let's cut the formal shit and get on to my topic) I'm stationed in Bahrain, a little country off the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia in the Arabian Gulf (look at a map if you really want to know what I'm talking about.) Any way after being here I've come to the conclusion that this place has more morons, dipshits and jackasses per square centimeter than the United States has all together. (no offence but, hey) Here's why:
1. Pornography is illegal but you can go into any hotel here and pick up a hooker.
2. Pornography is illegal but you can still buy a FHM or Cosmo mag (UK versions) and see titties aplenty.
3 Every weekend over 300,000 Saudi Arabians, Kuwaitis and Omanis come here to get royally drunk and cheat on their wives with the hookers, both practices forbidden by "Allah" But they have a clause for that. "Bahrain is the land Allah can't see." Right...
4 99% of Americans can drive better drunk than 99% of sober Saudis yet the police still arrest us.
5 Almost every one who lives here has boycotted anything American related yet they still use Electricity (concept from Ben Franklin) Drive anything with an internal combustion engine (also invented by an American) Use telephones (Invented by A.G. Bell) the internet (Invented by the military) eat at American Resturaunts (McD's, BK, KFC, Hard Rock, Hardees, Dairy Queen and Fuddruckers, etc.) Wear Levis, Polo, Tommy Hilfinger, Use washer and dryers and a huge assed list that would take me all day to type but i'm kinda pressed for time.
Well that's a small reason why, If you'd like to find out more on how to take a vacation in Bahrain visit a Bahraini website. Cigarettes are only a buck a pack but you'll have to take a loan out from your bank to buy a bottle of Absolut.
