Perkibar Bahrain, Perhimpunan Keluarga Besar Masyarakat Indonesia di Bahrain

LIVING - The first thing you should now about living and working in Bahrain is PERKIBAR. What is PERKIBAR? PERKIBAR is one of organization that gather all Indonesian family in Bahrain. PERKIBAR stands for Perhimpunan Keluarga Besar Masyarakat Indonesia.

Right now, PERKIBAR is not a formal organization but it has some activity. One of the activity I like is PERKIBAR gathering, although it doesn't have any fix schedule yet. For some time all Indonesia family is like to gather expecially if there is special ocassion day in Indonesia like Independence Day or any meaning day in Indonesia.We ever gather once to collect a donation from all Indonesian worker here for Earthquake Tragedy in Yogyakarta last June 2006.

Where is the place for gathering? There is one place that PERKIBAR always use for gathering and the location is on the beach near Dolphin Park and Volley Beach Court. It is a very lovely place to gather and sit together on the grass. I must thank to the people who decide for always gather on this spot, because right now from this spot you can see clearly the new 100 feet fountain on the sea, it is also near to Dolphin Park where you can watch Dolphin show or maybe you want to get on camel and horse ride that only 200 meter from this spot.

What is the activity at PERKIBAR Gathering? Most of the time at this gathering we just having conversation among Indonesian family and worker, offcourse in our mother tounge language. Get to know with new or just meet people. But that's not all, you will find also barbeque party here. Main menu of this barbeque is the fishes and sausages while got satay also available sometime. Mostly you will find Indonesian food here and this is very special because you can not find Indonesian food easly in Bahrain (I will talk about this in other edition). In special ocassion there will games and prizes.
