Looking for good physiotherapy center for ACL rehab

Hey all,

I’m recovering from an ACL injury and need recommendations for a solid physiotherapy center. Preferably one that offers monthly packages and knows their stuff with ACL rehab. Bonus points if they’re good with sports injuries.

Best food on Talabat?

Recommend your top pick takeaways that deliver to Juffair! I don’t ever order food, and if I want to eat out, I’ll usually go to a restaurant. I’ve only ordered healthy calorie before

Traveling for more than a week - where should I park?

I know where the long term parking for the airport is. However if I’m traveling for more than around 10 days it’ll be around 30 bhd. I see that as a little excessive tbh. Is there somewhere else near that I can park?

Accident and insurance issue.

Hey guys needed your help on a incident which happened a few days back.

A couple of days back a company vehicle hit my wife new car and she told the driver that we need to register the accident to the police but the drivers didn't listen and ran off. Luckily my wife took the car picture and the vehicle license picture.

So we register the complaint to the traffic authority office. The authority called the owner of the vehicle,The owner was not aware of the accident and sent over their driver.

The police upon inspection found that the cause of the accident was on the company driver. And they register the incident then they (police) found out that their car was not insured.

We are following up with them if they had completed the insurance part of their car so we can process from our end. But now they are not even attending our calls.

Please let us know what we should do next.

Applying for US visa (f1) in bahrain as a UAE resident

History: I got rejected for b1b2 in Feb 2024 and then got rejected for f1 in June 2024.

Now I have deferred my masters program for the January 2025 intake. I haven't changed my course or my university at all. It's all the same.

I have another f1 interview date in UAE booked for July 2025 but when I asked the embassy to expedite before my classes start, they didn't accept saying there aren't any slots left even though I sent them my SEVIS ID etc.

Now I am desperate to go to any other gulf country and try my luck for another f1 interview.

I am thinking Bahrain but what is the success rate for someone who resides in UAE going for interview in another country? Has anyone gone through anything remotely similar?

Ps. I also have schenghen visa and UK visa and have travelled these countries AFTER my second rejection.

I even have scholarship for my course for this semester which I didn't have for my last one.

So if they ask me how has your situation changed, am thinking of saying all of this. I honestly don't know what's the right or wrong answer here.

Please anyone with any sort of advice, kindly help me as I honestly don't know what to do anymore 😔

Tickets to pay

Hey all. 2 months ago I got a ticket for speeding. In that same month I got a ticket for crossing a red traffic light. I remember I never crossed a red traffic light before. Is there a way to check the picture or footage?

Also the tickets right now are discounted to 50%. Is there a time limit on the discount? How long until it the discount is no longer there?

Becoming a landlord

I bought my apartment a few years ago in Bahrain. I am now looking at renting it out as I have outgrown the space.

What are the procedures I have to follow to become a landlord in bahrain as a foreigner.

Are there any issues I may face and any advice from any other landlords in bahrain? Are there property managers here that I can use or better to just go at it on my own.

All advice appreciated!

Thoughts on the new Time Out Market in City Centre?

Today the Time Out Market opens officially for public at City Centre. Seems to be good to visit for an experience from the videos I’ve seen. I heard they serve alcohol there too however it seems to be lowkey.

I need a clearance agent for Japanese visa

I have all the paperwork ready, just need someone to submit them.

For the mods, yes, I asked the Japanese but they couldnt recommend anyone.

I looked online but there are none listed for Japan specifically and the ones who replied to calls only serve other countries, mainly European.

VFS don’t have any options for Japan.

I also asked my cat, just to make sure. He just meowd.

People feeding pigeons next to our house

In the patch of land next to our house, people are throwing leftover food to feed pigeons. They don't care that now an entire side of our house is completely covered in pigeon shit because of what they're doing.

The problem is that many different people are doing it. It's like everyone from miles away comes to this spot to dump crap for the pigeons. So I can't talk to them all. And as a result there is constantly hundreds of pigeons in this spot during the day.

What can I do?

Loud noises at 2am?

The last couple of nights there have been really loud noises around 2/3am in Juffair. Sounds like bombs but that’s obviously not what it is. Anyone know what it could be?

Opening a healthy restaurant in Bahrain

Hey everyone , I own a healthy restaurant brand based in UAE with 4 branches and counting

I have a plan to open a branch in Bahrain, what is the best area in terms of dine in and delivery with the most popular gyms around the area.

I have been there a few weeks ago and will plan to go there again to finalize everything

Really looking forward to this as I see a big gap in the healthy food market there

Best regards

fresh fruits/veggies delivered? (that aren't 💩)

i've just given up buying fruits/veggies through Talabat...

it's like supermarkets just use it to get rid of their bad produce -- the stuff no seeing person would ever pick out.

so what does everyone use for fruit/veggie deliveries?
