My theory has been that more and more Bahrainis go crazy by the day, but now I finally have proof! I've been wanting to post this for a while but never got a chance to; this is a photo of the old Bahrain psychatric hospital, ie, the mental hospital, the nutcase place, مستشفى المجانين, the place crazy people are taken to.
See? A nice, small mental hospital, fit for a small country, made up of one and a half floors covering a small area. Reasonable, no?
Anyway, there's recently been an extension to the mental hospital, which only means we're getting more nutcases. But wait, take a look at the size of this thing:
5 huge floors, each covering 3 or 4 times land space compared to the old hospital. Ooh err. What does that tell you about the number of people going crazy in this country?
Poor Bahrainis!
wow
ReplyDeletewell, atleast the government's trying to help with that right? :p
nice of them to build such a.. lovely-looking building.
its posts like these that make me proud to be an arab citizen
Not entierly true man.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta factor in the growth rate of the population (1 mil?) and that they act as a rehab centre for drug addicts too.
LOL. One and a half floor mental hospital is barely enough for even a small city.
ReplyDeleteThey don't necessarily need to be crazy :P some just have "curable" serious mental and psychological problems and they will be released eventually. Plus, the new building looks way better ;P
Anyway, if you're interested, you should give it a visit and do some kind of a survey to find out the reasons behind their illness, maybe then you'll be able to prove your theory :P
why not. they need the extra space to run around.
ReplyDeleteMy holy GOD!
ReplyDeleteEven if we considered population growth and drugs addicts that means the number of (mental patients) has grown more than 3 times of its original number. Should we take mental illnesses as a natural way of living?
I will sign your commitment papers. No problem. If you move now, you might still get the penthouse.
ReplyDeleteow :$ that's not good *shakes head solemnly*
ReplyDeleteThis is a very depressing post Ammar, yesterday u were creative, what happened!! don't u go reminding us of what we're trying to forget.
it's true though, ppl are going crazy! and not just in Bahrain.
population is increasing
ReplyDeletedefinitely more nutjobs
there are a lot of mental health cases in bahrain because a cousin marries a cousin.
ReplyDeletetheres nothing wrong with cousins marrying eachother :@
ReplyDeleteYou need to compare the size of the building with the the rest of the population, and you'd find it is quite a small percentage!
ReplyDeleteAnd why were you there :P did they just release you :P
pg; yes, we cant deny them that! thank you for building our nutcase place
ReplyDeleteredbelt; youre not fun.

PG; eeemmm...
KJ; for your INFO kay jay, its on a major intersection in bahrain ;p
Does it have room service? :P
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling I'm going to go there soon I need a headcheck and that is after 2 days in the country.
ReplyDeletetrust me it is driving me crazy, I guess I'm going to leave Bahrain very soon again to relax let's say a year, 2 or 100.
I think it fits enough for the readers of your blog :p
