Flight Photos Part Two






This is a guy wearing a Barry Sanders Detroit Lions jersey. It even said "Sanders" on the back. I met him just after I landed in the Bahrain airport. I introduced myself, told him I was from Detroit, and that I liked Barry. He had no clue what I was talking about! I guess he liked the jersey, though.

Mr. Joseph-
What are the words in Arabic in the airport terminal? In the Detroit airport, they say things in English and then say them in Chinese and other languages. Do they do that there?(Of course, it would be Arabic and then other languages.) Have a good time and thank you for answering my post!

I noticed that there was a different language then English. Does that mean alot of people speak English there?

The words in Arabic are identical to the words in English. Most of the signs I've seen so far are bilingual.

Almost every adult I've met over here speaks Arabic, English and usually another language as well.

Mr. Joe,
Did the guy in the Barry Sanders T shirt speak any English at all?

Mr. Joe,
did he even know the lions or did he just buy the jersey because it looked comfertable.

He didn't know any English. That's what was funny.
