I'm replying because it's the first mention of Bahrain I've come across on HN. I spent the first 30 years of my life there.

- dgfitz 2y agoI’m hear about that country at work often, mostly people traveling back talking about all the crazy expensive cars they saw.

When fuel cost is almost not a factor then it basically becomes about which fancy car is affordable. There's a huge wealth gap out there as well, and quite a tiny population. I would highly recommend checking it out some day. It's quite an interesting little island!

- neya 2y agoThanks, I've been meaning to check out that Buddha bar I used in the picture. I have a sentimental attachment to it, being my first entry into such programming and all. I even thought about laying low in Bahrain, seems like a really cool place.
