Bahrain has one thing I personally enjoy, first run new movies to see.
The new Indiana Jones movie started there last week.

Yes. It is also billed as being a pre-US release. Haven't seen it yet, though.

The price/quality ratio of merchanidize in a Saudi Mall is abysmal, compared to what you get in even a small market town shopping centre in the UK, Europe, Singapore, Bangkok or the US. Unlike yourself I am not aroused by the prospect of buying another TV or refrigerator.

As for Bahrain, would you go there if you lived anywhere but Saudi? Perfectly pleasant but expensive and hardly exciting. I might cross the Causeway in the next couple of weeks to see the latest Indiana Jones film, but I would hardly claim it as the killing factor in choosing somewhere to live.

Alexandria I don't like. But Cairo's fabulous. You should use your influence with the rector to get him to open a branch there. Tell him I'll forgo 50% of the hardship payment :)
