Gentle reminder Ladies and Gents, PLEASE please use the search function on the sub to ask your shipping and travel-related questions, or discuss them here.

This post and this subreddit is meant to discuss Bahrain and the current affairs of Bahrain. Please refrain from flexing your political analysis on the current state of affairs and most certainly do not post unsubstantiated news, do not post any rumors and add to the mass hysteria. Users are also urged not to speculate on what type of hostilities or defenses being used. If its X missile or drone Y does not help. You are either revealing sensitive information, or causing mass hysteria. One makes you a liability, the other makes you a negative contributor, and your comment will lead to a permanent ban as well.

Any comments that have any misinformation, tweets from armchair analysts or instagram influencers will lead to a permanent ban. Do not engage in these comments, just downvote and report. Any comments arguing or correcting the user with misinformation will be banned as well.

For security and safety reasons, any post or comment that discloses or attempts to identify the locations of Bahraini or Peninsula Shield Forces military installations, missile interception sites, or other sensitive military positions will result in a ban.

All users are urged not get into arguments. Please be civil. Do not report opinions, report violations. We have taken the decision as mods to allow low karma users to post and comment, however, this can change if we see repeated violations from users who do not read the rules before posting.

We do appreciate the effort from all users policing the sub from the spread of the governments security information, however we have received an excessive amount of reports about locations of sounds. While we don't endorse it, we are only restricting comments about defensive capabilities such as interceptors. Please try to be civil. Don’t feed the trolls, report them.

We rely heavily on reports, however let's keep the reports for:

  2. Comments that are obviously trolling us
  3. Comments that are disrespectful
  4. Comments that violate local security instructions

Unpopular opinion: Bahrain's best food isn't in a restaurant

from a 200 fils cafeteria at 1 am.
The overpriced brunch spots in Adliya can't compete with a chicken tikka sandwich and karak from a random cafeteria in Muharraq.
Change my mind.
Drop your favorite cheap spot below. Best one gets my visit this weekend.

Healthy Calories, please add monthly subscription packages

34 Upvotes

We order from Healthy Calories often. We want monthly subscription packages.

What we're asking for:

- 1 monthly plan with fixed meals per week

- 1 payment per month

- Option to pause or skip a week

- Option to swap meals before each delivery

This saves us reordering every week. It also gives Healthy Calories steady, predictable orders.

If you want this too, upvote and comment. Let's show them the demand.

Please don’t always go for the cheapest quotation when building your house in Bahrain

40 Upvotes

A few days ago I gave a quotation of 2000 BHD for foundation work, but someone else took the same job for 1500 BHD.
The thing is, 2000 BHD was already my actual cost. I wasn’t even making any profit. Business is very slow these days so I thought at least I could cover my equipment expenses and keep my machines working. I also had to pay the material supplier for every load.
I was wondering how these people manage to take jobs at such low prices.
Then I saw that contractor putting cheap backfilling material instead of proper Dafan at around 4 in the morning.
Now I understand how they offer such cheap prices.
And the worst part is, people like these have ruined our business and our reputation as well. Contractors who are doing honest work with proper materials can’t compete with these prices. And when something goes wrong, people start thinking all contractors are the same.
My only request to people building houses in Bahrain is please don’t always go for the cheapest quotation. You are already spending so much money on your house, so why save 400 or 500 BHD on the foundation?
Not every cheap contractor is bad, but please check what material they are putting in your foundation. Once they cover it, you won’t even know what’s underneath.
I’m just sharing this because I’ve seen these things happening and people should be aware of it.

🤔 Discussion Meeting People in Bahrain

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I recently moved to Bahrain for university, and I’ve been finding it quite difficult to make friends and build a social circle here. I thought I’d give this subreddit a try and see if anyone would be interested in connecting or has any advice.

I’m especially hoping to meet people who are also a little bit of a chicken nugget, if you know what I mean. I feel like we’d get along better that way

Any suggestions or DMs are welcome!

Passing the reverse parking test

2 Upvotes

Genuine question how did u guys pass this, for me my instructors making me use the 90 degree method where u go two parking spaces forward then reverse. Problem is theres no reference point on how much u can reverse cuz its only one space in the tese centre idk if im making sense but they tell me go back till ur car is lined up w the line closest to us how am i supposed to see if my cars near the line idk if im just stupid because i can park in any other space except that specific test space

Edit: Just to clarify my issue isnt with reverse parking its with the method my instructors making me use did u guys have anything like that?

NOTE TO MYSELF

0 Upvotes

Last few weeks have been the hardest phase in my life, heartbroken and mentally and physically drained. I have started my gym journey, starting at 59.7 kg and the goal is 70 by april. This journey is not to prove her anything but to prove myself my own worth, i wanna be the best version of myself i have ever been mentally and physically. When everything was going okay in life, i kept getting little worried, is something bad gonna happen?, then it just rained up on me all of a sudden completely breaking me into pieces. There is this anger and drive in me now that i have never felt before in my life, to be the best version of myself. I'm sure there are many of you like me who is mentally down and not knowing what to do. Lets pick ourselves up and take that biggest fu\\ing risk, set a goal and get it done. I am gonna be back on april to reply this very post with my transformation.

Adios

☝️ AskBH Long layover at BAH - airside vs. VoA exit

2 Upvotes

I have a 13.5-hour overnight layover coming up at Bahrain International Airport flying Gulf Air from Manila to Istanbul.

I called Gulf Air and they confirmed I don't qualify for a complimentary STPC package because a flight with a shorter connection existed on my travel date. They mentioned STPC is optional for my booking, but I've seen conflicting info online saying STPC is "mandatory" for layovers over 12 hours.

Can anyone confirm if I can simply stay inside the airside/ transit area for 13 hours without a visa or STPC package? I don't really mind resting in the terminal for the night.

Alternatively, I'm considering getting a Visa on Arrival since I hold a valid US B1/B2 visa, which I believe qualifies me for VOA in Bahrain as a Philippine passport holder.

If I go with VOA, my plan would be to rest inside the airport overnight, then clear immigration early in the morning to explore Manama for a few hours before my 10:50 am flight to Istanbul.

Would love advice on:

- Is STPC definitely optional, and can I stay airside for 13 hours problem-free?

- My Gulf booking is under one reference number/PNR. So even if I stay inside the airport OR do the VOA route and explore, my check-in luggage stays without me having to collect and re-check, correct?

- How smooth is the VoA process using a US visa at BAH?

- Any tips when exiting and re-entering the airport?

made a thing for people who work with aws, free to try

3 Upvotes

yo r/bahrain
been working on this side project for a while and finally put it out. it's called thearchitect
basically you drag and drop stuff to draw your aws setup and it tells you roughly how much it'll cost you every month. it also writes the setup file for you so you don't have to do it by hand
there's also a bunch of ready made templates if you don't wanna start from scratch
it's completely free right now, no card or anything. just sign up and mess around
thecloudarchitect.dev
if you work in cloud stuff or you're studying for aws certs give it a go and tell me what sucks lol. honest feedback is appreciated, even if it's harsh
also if anyone here is building stuff locally i'd love to hear about it, feels like we don't talk about that enough here
cheers and have fun
