To Laptop or not to Laptop


The end of Ramadan will be in a few days time, but the day are not yet confirm it depends on the moon as they say. It means there will be a few days holiday. I will take advantage of this holiday to go back to Dubai for a few days stay, to visit my wife and of course to meet up with my friends there.
I got a nasty habit of traveling heavy since I pack most of my stuff I can think of. But not this time, I made sure that I will be traveling light. The first one to go off my list is my DSLR. Ihave  decided not to bring a DSLR on this trip I’ll just bring my Lomo LCA and a couple rolls of film I can always buy film there in case I need more. If I’m not bringing my DSLR there will be other stuff that I don’t need like lenses, extra chargers, batteries and others.
As I'm packing my things as we speak just a few change of clothes my running shoes as I ‘m training right now in preparation for a short marathon I will run (that will be another story). Other stuff for sure I’ll be bringing will be my Ipod, my Phone, the External HDD with the new seasons of TV shows in it.
As I almost complete my packing is I’m still thinking whether should I bring the Laptop or not. There are still lots of space in my backpack but carrying that will be some weight as my objective is to travel really light.
There are still a couple of days to think about it then I can just slip it in my bag even in the last minute. Anyway looking forward to go back to Dubai after a month and a half.

New Apartment


After almost a month, I finally moved out from the Apartment that my company has provided for my temporary accompdation. So I moved in to my new apartment a fully furnished two bedroom apartment with Satellite TV, Internet connection most of all the building has a Gym which I can use for FREE. Incidently I share this apartment with a Brazilian Guy. What I like most on my new place is the location, just a stone throw away from the Supermarket, strip of restaurants nearby including Starbucks and Costa.

Right now I'm enjoying my stay on my new place after a week. I'll keep you updated I will post some pictures after I have the rolls of Film I have are processed which I'm having a hard time finding a lab to do it in Bahrain but that will be another blog entry.
