Qatar -My Life

In Qatar, there’s always something to do. You can play world-class golf, cycle along hundreds of miles of desert offroad, take road-trips to beaches, hunt for fossils or get lost in the moment of a brilliantly crafted scene of desert dunes at the inland Sea.
Qatar is one of the safest places in the world. Both visitors and residents have the opportunity to experience the welcoming and friendly nature of Arab culture. Like anywhere else, respecting local traditions and practices allows you to enjoy the true essence of the host country, giving you a better travel experience.Get up, get out, and do something! Just about any day of the year, you can find something fun, informative, and healthy in Doha. Qatar has a wealth of leisure and recreational activities.
From jogging outdoors along the Corniche waterfront where traditional dhow boats wait to pick up their passengers to enjoying the many parks Doha has to offer, Qatar is a place where visitors and residents alike can find a range of healthy, indoor and outdoor activities to help keep fitQatar’s five star hotels offer world class and award-winning spas for beauty treatments and fully equipped gyms with fitness trainers.
The Qatar peninsula has beaches galore with a 563 kilometre-long sandy coastline with numerous small islets, sand bars and reefs. Below is a list of some of the most well known beaches, but you can gain access to the sea wherever you want. Just keep in mind not to leave any litter behind you. Many of Qatar’s five star hotels also have lovely sandy beaches but if you are not staying at the hotel there may be a charge. Enjoy relaxing, swimming, or any water sports on Qatar’s sparkling shores with their exceptionally clear and clean blue water .

And I am there at Doha to meet more Wonderful People in My Life.

Love

Show me your thing
I’m traveled and lonely
and I’ve lost my spy ring
The professor sits high
and stares at the sky
While the skipper sits quietly
and eats her big pie.
Ginger’s just there…
she keeps fixing her hair
And Thruston is bloated
he won’t move from that chair
Lovey, Oh Lovey…
won’t you show me your thing
I’ll wind up that record 
and find something to sing
Lovey, Oh Lovey…
won’t you show me your thing

BReach....

I can remember starving in a 
small room in a strange city 
shades pulled down, listening to 
classical music 
I was young I was so young it hurt like a knife 
inside 
because there was no alternative except to hide as long 
as possible-- 
not in self-pity but with dismay at my limited chance: 
trying to connect. 

the old composers -- Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, 
Brahms were the only ones who spoke to me and 
they were dead. 

finally, starved and beaten, I had to go into 
the streets to be interviewed for low-paying and 
monotonous 
jobs 
by strange men behind desks 
men without eyes men without faces 
who would take away my hours 
break them 
piss on them. 

now I work for the editors the readers the 
critics 

but still hang around and drink with 
Mozart, Bach, Brahms and the 
Bee 
some buddies 
some men 
sometimes all we need to be able to continue alone 
are the dead 
rattling the walls 
that close us in.

Information on Fishing in Bahrain

Located in the Persian Gulf, The Kingdom of Bahrain is an archipelago of 33 islands. The largest island is Bahrain, which translates as "two seas." Bahrain comprises 83 percent of the country's total land mass.

Approximately 8 million tourists each year visit Bahrain. Many of them come from other Arab countries, though the number of tourists from beyond the region is increasing. Bahrain offers visitors a rich history, relaxing beaches and opportunities for fishing and diving.

    Marine Environment

  1. The water surrounding Bahrain is shallow. Many land reclamation projects are underway. Coral reefs lie close to the island, many along the eastern and northern sides of the island. Over 300 species can be found in Bahrain's waters. Some types of tropical fish include angel fish, parrot fish, barracuda, grouper and clown fish. In the spring, sting rays can be seen sunning themselves on the sand banks.
  2. Commerical Fishing

  3. Oil drives Bahrain's economy, but fishing remains an important industry in Bahrain. Fish is both exported and used for domestic consumption, including shrimp, finfish, crabs, lobster, rabbit fish and cuttlefish. The most important fishery in Bahrain is the shrimp fishery.
  4. Recreational Fishing

  5. Recreational fishing trips can be arranged through most large hotels, tour agencies, or the Bahrain Yacht Club. Though these is plentiful Spanish mackerel in the shallow waters surrounding Bahrain, the fish population of the inner reefs has been substantially lowered due to overfishing. For the best catch, you need to go out at least 3 to 6 miles from shore.

    However, you can always sit on one of the bridges that connects the islands or one of the stretches of reclaimed land that juts out from the shore and fish from there. You can purchase fishing equipment such as lures, lines and rods from the souk. The main super markets also carry a small selection of fishing equipment.
  6. Environmental Concerns

  7. Due land reclamation, industrial pollution and over-fishing, Bahrain's fishing industry is severely threatened. Fish stocks are quickly being depleted and immature fish are being caught before they have a chance to reproduce. Approximately 3 million tons of sand is taken from Bahrain's waters each year for construction purposes, harming the marine environment. The coral reefs are dying at a rapid rate.

    In 2009, the General Directorate for the Protection of Marine Resources (GDPMR) of Kingdom of Bahrain renewed a marine resources pact with the United Arab Emirates with the goal of protecting and conserving marine life.
  8. Getting to Bahrain

  9. Bahrain International Airport is the country's main airport as well as the hub of the international airline Gulf Air. Numerous daily flights are offered throughout the region, as well as flights to Asia, Europe and North America.

    The King Fahd Causeway links Saudi Arabia to Bahrain. The planned Qatar--Bahrain Friendship Bridge will link Qatar with Bahrain.

Love....

How many times have I betrayed you? There are betrayals in battle that are infinitesimal compared to my betrayals of you.
I pushed off, away, and against. What was not broken, I destroyed. What you did not care to know, I found out.
You let me. Other times you didn’t let me go easily and I would fight. Sometimes I would get so angry I wouldn’t be able to remember what I said. Then I would leave. Sometimes I wouldn’t come back.
One time, I left and got really lost, in more ways than one. I couldn’t get out of bed. I stayed there in the dark for days. Was it the third day that you opened my door and sat down on my bed? I couldn’t get the words out from inside (I’m lost).
I filled the aching void with tears instead. You cried too.
Get up, you said softly, tears running down your cheeks and wetting my hands. This isn’t you. It’s time to get up.

You didn’t open the window, and you closed the door when you left a minute later.
I lay there, in the darkness. All my darkness.

I was lost, too close to that precipice.

I came upstairs a few hours later, still lost. I think you knew that.

That day you came down into my room, I realized that down in my room, the only one who remembered me was you. That was the year I didn’t know my own reflection in a mirror. That was the year only you found what I had lost.

I remember the day the fog lifted. I was back. I was also almost eight thousand miles away, living in an ancient English castle. I had fled there to find myself, and when I did I realized you’d never once lost me. You were just waiting until I found what you’d known all along. Thank you for waiting, for guarding, for keeping.

I quit running to the unknown after that day. The problem with running towards the void is that it’s incredibly likely you’ll get consumed by all of the uncertainty of the unknown.
I realize that now.

It’s your birthday today. I sat down intending to write something that could somehow express just how much I love you. Instead, I ended up overwhelmed by just how much you love me.

This is the first part of what I know.
Love is a species of flame.

And although all the rest of what I do not know cries out to me (and I must go and know it) I need you to understand—you are my North star. My touchstone. The origin from which I run.

Ultimately, I am always journeying back to you.
