Cinemas and theatres

TOTALLY. Yearn for the big screen with supper loud surround sound. Uncensored content, popcorn, over-priced tickets, 30 minute previews, and don't forget to turn off your cell phone. But really, this is such a bizare thing. I guess seeing womens arms and/or heaven forbid, the audience holding hands or putting your arm around each other. Hey, their country, their rules.
An actual hostESS when I go to a restaurant. Maybe a waitress as well.
And as stated before.
Yeah gowf. We'll go for an early morning ride once that's all worked out.
And sparrow. I don't know...Harley's don't really do it for me :p But I'll take whatever as long as the roads grip.
@Beezer, are you a cruiser or a boy racer then? Remember, your a responsible married man now!
Being responsible doesnt mean that you cant ride bikes 
And right now, I miss the functions, weddings, and general holidays!

Last time we were in Bahrain we hit 6 movies in 5 days. Admittedly, Pirhanha 3D was a BIG mistake! But I guess we won't be doing that for a while 
@gowf.
Sportbike + corners. BLISS!!!
I know, responsibility sure kills the adrenaline.

You actually PAID to go see Pirhanha 3D? I heard it might become a cult classic so maybe you are ahead of the curve you culture conscious person you! When your kids are all grown up, you'll be able to proudly boast that you saw that in the theatre when it first came out. Not many will be able to say that!
I love this post because I am extreeeeeemmmmmely home sick right now.
I could probably list a ton of things but I will begin with this.
I just realized the other day that I haven't been alone driving in a car for six months. I'm either in a car with my husband, my husband and the kids, or a driver. So, first on my list is:
1. Driving alone in my car with the sunroof open and my favorite song blasting.
2. Knowledgeable, helpful sales people.
3. Having at least 14 days to return something to a store.
4. Being able to have a nice glass of wine or an ice cold beer anytime I want.
5. Being able to go out without first having to check prayer times.
6. Just good customer service in general, which I find lacking here.
7. Movie theaters. It is a shame to have to drive 4 hours just to see a film in a movie theater.
I'll leave it there for now. 
@Civ - I definitely think that Pirhanha 3D is going to be a cult something!! My son asked me to download Ghostbusters for him this week and I was proud to say that I saw it when it first came out
@Beantowngal - I agree with Number 3 on your list! I bought a top the other day and was told I had 24hours to return it!
So I would add fitting rooms to my list of things I miss

Zara777 - I will definitely co-sign your fitting room comment. It is one of the reasons I don't shop at the mall as much as I used to. Who wants to have to guess whether something will fit or have to walk across the mall to try something on.
When so many ppl i know go thte tickets to the games.. I am stuck here watching it on tele..
