Bahrain

In Bahrain, alcohol is not readily available. To buy it, you need to go to a liquor store, few restaurants are licensed. Don't take me wrong, it is easy enough to get it, but not as simple as walking to a supermarket and liquor stores are not everywhere either.

But today Fabio and I went to an art event, where a good friend of mine was exhibiting her work for the first time. Big celebration, and being French, she brought a bottle of champagne for us.

Of course we forgot it was not ok to drink it, so the bubbly went to gorgeous,sexy tea pots, and we drank French champagne out of tea cups.

Now, THAT was an experience!!

Em Bahrain alcool nao e vendido em qualquer lugar, nem para qualquer pessoa. Sao poucos os restaurantes com licenca para vende-lo e comprar garrafas fechadas, so nas lojas especializadas. Ate ai, nenhum problema.

Mas hoje foi um dia especial, uma amiga queridissima, participou pela primeira vez de uma exposicao de arte. Motivo para comemorar e que nao faltava, ai ela levou champagne pra celebrar.

Claro que ninguem se lembrou que tomar champagne nao e legal, nos entido literal da palavra, entao o jeito foi meter a danada em potes de cha e tomar em elegantes xicaras de porcelana.

Agora isso sim, foi uma experiencia impagavel!!
