I READ the island's plans for the future in Tribute to Bahrain and applaud its aims regarding the environment. Green technology and the principles and morals behind it are laudable.

Bahrain, like New Zealand, is a small country. We (Kiwis) consistantly "punch above our weight" on the world stage in most sports. As such we are not too dissapointed in losing on the big world stage.

ON a Thursday night (when I often avoid going out) my friends and I decided to watch a movie that was playing at Dana Cinema.

I HAVE had a most unfortunate experience whilst attempting to bring my parents for a two week visit to "Tourist Friendly "Bahrain whilst on their way to America.

MY heart breaks to hear the case of Adam being"abducted" by their relatives. It is a unique case of "kidnap" where Rebecca Jones, the mother, had escorted her son willingly to the father's place.

BAHRAIN Financial Harbour (BFH) symbolises Bahrain's financial industry and its rise towards prominence, not to mention the tallest skyscrapers in the kingdom.
