Binany Oppositions: The Ironies of our Kingdom

  1. Driving on fumes to the on-camp gas station only to find "temporarily out of gas" signs posted on the pumps, while a multi-million state of the art petroleum refinery stands only a few meters away from the fence.
  2. Going to the local bank ATMs and finding them empty all the time -Sometimes they even debit your account despite never receiving cash.
  3. Surfing the Persian Gulf.
  4. Visiting the local police station, a place notorious for hassaling foreigners attempting to get a license, then having one of the officers reprimand two locals for cutting me in line.
  5. Well paid teachers.
