teaching in Isa Town Bahrain

Post new topic

Hi everyone

I am new to the forum.  I have been offered a teaching position at a school in Isa Town.  I am from South Africa.  I am single and will be moving there in August.  I have a 19 year old daughter who will remain in South Africa.  I am naturally, a little concerned about the safety of woman who are alone in a foreign country.  I would also like to know about cable or satelite TV?  Is this available in Isa Town?  How would one go about getting it and does anyone know how much it costs a month?  I have tons of other questions, but will stop here for now.

Thanks so much for your help.
Looking forward to chatting to others who live there or teach in Bahrain as well.

Hi Mandy and welcome to the forum,

Life in Bahrain is perfectly OK for women. It's a safe place and Bahrainis are extremely respectful if you just forget about the dozens of single guys that are drooling when a lady expat is publishing a message that she's looking for friends :(
But even if men will be men, drooling is harmless and I've not heard any stories of ladies being disrespected here.

As far as the satellite/cable thing VidoDido said it well, the offer is wide and large and you'll find want you want very easily here.

Furthermore, the South African community is very well represented so I'm 100% sure that you'll make friends very fast and almost feel home after sometimes :D

Just be ready for the heat... In August it's hot AND humid... It's the worst month of the year as far as the weather is concerned !

Cheers

Olivier
