Dear Aishu,
How many lights you want, 1,2,3.... Big LaughBig Laugh...
1. Yes, you will get Indian Food, both Veg & Non-Veg
2. You can cook and also eat out.
3. Rent, Depends upon how he / she wants to stay... Sharing or single/double bedroom flat... You can get Furnished accomodation... Since the person is going to be there only for 7-8 months, it is advisable to go sharing, non-cooking independent room... It may vary from 150-250 BD
4. Ask the Company to provide... That is the biggest problem... as taxis will fleece you.
5. What other expenses - If you can be specific then I can clarify
6. There are good private hospitals.. KIMS is there... But medical is little expensive there.
7. Savings depends upon the individual...
8. No Tax in Bahrain...
If you need further details or any help in Bahrain, please let me know (pm)... I still have some good friends there...
