While most of us are enjoying our weekends, let’s spare a moment to think of those who continue to struggle to eek out a living.
Have a wonderful Friday.
An Arab man's attempt at bridging the cultural gap and trying to make a difference. Failing a lot. Succeeding once in a while.

I just wanted to let you know that I have recommended your site to others to mark International Blog Day. http://elleeseymour.com/2006/09/01/meet-a-would-be-astronaut-and-bahrain-blogging-star/
Wow, thank you very much Ellee, I appreciate it.
Have a wonderful Friday!
Very thoughtful Mahmood…
Enjoy the new weekend scheme…just makes me wonder if I’ll ever see such a relaxing weekend system here in KSA during my lifetime.
Happy Labor Day Mahmood (big 3 day holiday here in the States)!!!!
Don’t know if you realized that when you posted the image, but it is apropos…
Ah, what a fortunate coincidence!
Happy Labour Day to you and all our American friends!
Mahmood: I have enjoyed lurking on your site for nearly two years now, and I have to say thanks for the rememberance of Labor Day!
I have turned my dad on to your site, so perhaps he may “de-lurk” at some point as well. He and I are always talking about your posts and photos… he has become positively infatuated with the Arabic culture since his first deployment to Iraq (he is in the U.S. Army). Thanks so much for giving us so many insights into your world.
You’re more than welcome Steph and Dad! I am a lot richer now for the many many friends and acquaintances I have been privileged with through this blog.
Wow… can’t a picture say a thousand words?! These old shoes make me think of all the construction workers around Bahrain. Too bad they don’t get a Labor Day!
They do.. May 1st.
Do they realise it though? Doubt it.
