I know this is silly but I am a silly girl afterall!
I am not homesick yet or anything but I really want to be back in Bahrain .. and it is for one thing only!
I missed Jewellery Arabia- an annual jewellery exhibition which I visit year after year and where I spoil myself rotten and spend all the money I have and I don't. Yup! This is what I have missed so far, in addition to my family - especially my nephews and nieces! My cousin sent me their pictures the other day.. and although it has been a month ONLY.. I feel they have grown up and by the time I see them again, they may have forgotten me ;(
So when my friends go there and see all the things I like and all the jewellery which draws a smile on my face, please remember me. All we have here is stuff in lower carats and boring designs. I have been to the shops and I have looked and compared. The prices are lower but the quality is inferior as well. Also, I haven't seen anyone wearing real bling bling .. nor proper watches.. nor designer handbags...
Is it because they are real people with real everyday concerns and we are a superficial society, where appearances mean the world?

Hah, are you kidding? Materialism is alive and well in the US and probably Canada as well. I've seen the bling-bling over there and it is much better than over here. It's just blingier. :P
Too bad, SBG, I am sorry that you will not be here for the JA exhibition, I -despite being a guy- enjoy taking the wife there -this year for the third year running- cuz it puts a smile to her face, and frankly, I don't see it as a loss of money, as long as I can afford it, and as long as my wife knows the limits, ain't she something?
It´s amazing the way you miss some special things when you are away...
Kisses from Spain ;)

Hm...it's one of the things I miss, decent items from the gold souk.
better for you hayaati, the gold prices are up out the wazoo! 56 dirhams per gram for 22 k!
i found the sales better in the US than they are in the Gulf. name brand stuff never gets cheap here like it does in the US. Your options are expensive mall stuff or LuLu Hypermart stuff. Nothing in between.
Glad to see u r enjoying
