Gazilion Bubble Show

We just attended one of never seen show ever, Gazilion Bubble Show. The show is part of Bahrain Summer Festival.

I would like to express how impress I am with the show. It's an amazing show not only kids but also for all parents. The show for sure will bring you back to your childhood dream.

With the help of good choices of music and also the light technology, it's combining between individual show and theater action involving kids audience.

At the end of the show, everyone will be thrill with thousands of bubbles reaching you to every corner of the show hall and the show of laser light.

For everyone in Bahrain, do not miss the chance to see the show.

New Bahrain Map Monument at Tubli

For old comers I am sure that everyone knows about Bahrain Map Monument. Many used it as a landmark for giving directions. It is located outside Mc Donald store in Tubli at the corner of the traffic signal.

It was demolished once when the government made Tubli Flyover project and now it is there again but offcourse with new look.

It is smaller then previous one but look more modern. It is standing in the corner of traffic signal for the traffic come from Isa Town heading Salmaniya.

I will upload the picture once is available. This time I am not sure it can become the landmark once more.
