Last weekend was also spent at home. We tried to go to Budeiya but the roads were closed. The most awaiting trip for last few weeks was postponed again. Sachi, Jeewani and I spent around 30 minutes to find the right bus stop, more than one hour waiting for a bus before we got to know the roads are closed.
Yesterday, we went to Manama to buy some groceries for us. We managed to find the Lulu centre and Central market after walking nearly 45 minutes from Adliya to Manama though small lanes. Those lanes were similar to the cross streets at Pettah in Sri Lanka. There we can find almost everything we need at a very cheap cost. Most of the sales people were Asians at those shops. When a customer passes by they speak in all the possible languages and invites to their shop. Since we were talking in Sinhala while we were walking, they called us in Sinhalese many times. After talking to few of them we realized that they have learnt some words and the numbers to attract the customers, but do not speak our language.
