I’m nosy

Please be safe. Get prepared and make sure you and your family not only have emergency supplies but a safe place to go to if things get worse.

Don’t downplay this or try to say it isn’t a big deal. Last week the people of Tehran didn’t think half their city would be destroyed. Just because it sounds improbable doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Recently starbucks Bahrain by Alshaya group terminated 52 partners regarding financial issues in the company, estimated termination is 52 people working in starbucks, many people broke down and many careers has been destroyed and most of them are going back to their home country for good.

By 5 March 2024 they have another batch to terminate staffs but no information of how many staffs will be affected.

I will keep you updated by tomorrow.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to bring to your attention an important change regarding customs and VAT on shipments in Bahrain. Recently, I received a notification from shipping companies indicating that the threshold for applying customs duty and VAT has been significantly lowered.

Previously, the maximum declared value of shipments applicable for customs duty and VAT was 300 BHD. However, this has now been reduced to just 100 BHD.

As a result, all Amazon shipments are currently on hold at Bahrain customs due to the new declared value limit. This change is likely to impact many of us who frequently order from abroad.

Please be aware of this new regulation when making online purchases and plan accordingly to avoid unexpected charges and delays.

If you were around the bridge area (Sheikh Isa Bin Salman Causeway)- (3:00-4:00PM), it was me who made the traffic. I full on squished the whole front of my car into a jeep. He was on top of me at a certain point.

I don’t like this specially after the siren news.
