Hai Bali

I never thought one day that I’ll go to Bali, not because that I didn’t want to but didn’t feel the need to do it since I already explored most of southeast Asia. But when you have a free one … hey why not :). So I packed my bags and decided to go, and with all the problems I faced before leaving (ticketing issues and even a bruised 5^th metatarsal) I wasn’t going to miss such an opportunity.

Weekend Getaways

Situated strategically, the weather is much better and cooler than in other gulf countries, lying between mountains and valleys in different bodies of water makes it ideal for many different excursions.

Oman is a breath of fresh air for the perfect relaxing weekend getaway. Continue Reading

End of Year Getaways

Alot of people, myself included, do not prefer to travel during summer since everwhere is just packed and you tend to run into almost everyone you know wherever you go. So you’re stuck with the months from September to April.  But as usual I always have a master plan, being the resort and sun loving person I am, I would rather avoid the colder areas of Europe and the US. So the first stop will be in Mauritius, specifically the Four Seasons at Anahita. Its located South of the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean consisting of a large island as opposed to the many scattered islands of the Maldives.

Friday Market – سوق الجمعة

Friday is usually a slow routine day, but this past friday I had something else on my mind, Friday Market. I haven’t been to Friday market since 92/93. The place has changed a lot.

So, me and my brother went there just before Asr prayer, and it was really hot, I MEAN REALLY HOT.

The place is huge, we didn’t go through it all, but it was very organized, and was broken down into sections so you can find what you are looking for very easily.

I was there mainly for electronics, I wanted to know what could I find there. But walking though the different sections you see odd and funny stuff.

When I arrived to the electronics section I really had fun, I found a burnt toaster oven, a broken VCR, a pile of 15 year old motherboards that would make a better use as a serving tray and a pile of Playstation controllers on almost every stand.

I’m definitely going back there again soon.
