November 2018 9 Welcome to the November issue. As the cooler weather arrives, it brings with it plenty of events across the island. There are multiple continuing spooky Halloween and Dia de los Muertos celebrations. The latest edition of the Sea Festival is ongoing at Bahrain Bay and, for local culture, food and music, check out the series of happenings brought to you through Five Pm at Bab. November also means the return of Bahrain International Air Show, along with the Women In Aviation Conference, hosted by our sister publication Woman This Month. Our superstar sister act cover stars NERVO, who’ve had numerous huge hits, will be gracing the stage at Coral Bay. And there’s another superstar inbound in the shape of British and Irish Lions and Irish international rugby player, Brian O’Driscoll. All this and more awaits you in our Happenings section, which is updated online throughout the month at www.bahrainthismonth.com We have a special supplement this month looking at the relationship between Germany and Bahrain with the first interview with the new ambassador HE Kai Thamo Boeckmann, travel tips and German news. A second ambassador, HE Kemal Demirciler of Turkey, graces our interview pages, along with new McLaren F1 driver Lando Norris. We also caught up with the man behind Narmo Capital, Fahad Al-Omran, and techie wunderkind Alex Panagis. November, as always, means it’s time for ‘all that glitters’ in the shape of Jewellery Arabia. And, as always, we have a round-up of some of the island’s favourite jewellery and watch brands in our second big feature. Making the most of the weather to head into the great outdoors is the theme of this month’s eating out feature, which covers the island’s multitude of al fresco dining options – just thinking about those live cooking stations wafting deliciousness on the cool breeze is making me hungry. Our travel section features a guest contributor this month as former island resident Shoba Subrahmanyam tells us of her journey through Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia. And, of course, our Lifestyle section has the regular round-up of new movies, music, apps, games and more. From going out to staying in, dining and travel; this month’s, issue really is your guide to a great way of life. THE TEAM Publisher and Chairman George F.
