Since the uprising in Egypt, I’ve been getting e-mails from people asking me if I’m okay, if I’m safe with
Dubai, not Bahrain
everything going on the Middle East. Safety in the Middle East is just a question of where you are standing at a given moment. Sadly, I have never known the Middle East not to have a troubled spot, and if all else fails to scare you, there is always Gaza or Iraq. But just like I wouldn’t ask some one in Florida how they were handling the snowstorm in Minnesota, not all the Middle East experiences its storms together. So on that note, I’m going to re-post a blog I wrote about Bahrain in Oct. 2009
