Welcome to a New Year with Bahrain This Month. 2022 has been quite a rollercoaster for us all, and we can’t wait to see what 2023 has in store. Following a spectacular festive season, January is likely to be a little more laid-back, with fewer events organised across the island. Needless to say, we’ve put together a list of some of the very best options for you to enjoy, and you’ll be able to find more on our website bahrainthismonth.com throughout the month. That being said, it seems that January will be a month to savour everything from afternoon teas to roast dinners; an Orthodox Christmas brunch to a Chinese New Year feast as well as some classic Indian food on India’s Republic Day! You’ll find it all, aside from our exciting review of the Turkish restaurant Gunaydin in our Dining section this month. With New Year resolutions in full swing, January is a month for us to pursue positive changes. With health and wellness at the forefront, we’re happy to share the final segment of American Mission Hospital’s rich 120-year history. In addition, we spoke to the Head of the Plastic Surgery and Dermatology Department at Middle East Hospital, Dr. Paulo Hypacio Espinola who enlightened us on some of the most popular plastic surgery procedures including those following a massive weightloss. Bahrain’s community is extremely diverse with a highly significant expatriate population. We take great pride in connecting every segment of the community and this month were happy to sit down and chat with HE Tirtha Raj Wagle, the Ambassador of Nepal to Bahrain about the Nepali community he oversees here as well as Nepals phenomenally successful tourism industry. Our interviewee this month is the talented Bahrain-based French artist, Arnaud Rothfuss, who is having his own art exhibition in Paris this month. In addition, as a proven senior level consultant to key management figures, Bill Grieve provides an insight into the value of high-performance executive level managers, the role of professional consultants, and the pitfalls and fallacies surrounding many consultants and consulting firms. As always, you can also keep up with the latest in business and motoring, and enjoy some at-home entertainment with our TV, music and other recommendations. In the Woman This Month segment, you’ll enjoy reading about one of the Kingdom’s most popular health and wellness influencers, Fatema Majdi, popularly known as Bohemian Fatema. She shares her thoughts on body positivity and the benefits of yoga. Is your child a perfectionist? If yes, you’ll love Ouiam El Hassani’s thoughts on the different kinds of perfectionism and how we can best parent our perfectionist kids. In her new column, ‘The Things We Don’t Say’, Farrah Saville opens up about turning 38 while living as an expat. Last, but not least, in our ‘In Her Shoes’ segment, we speak to the lovely Areej Masri - the Marketing Executive at Porsche Centre Bahrain. Our beauty and fashion segments are as exciting as ever and so we invite you to enjoy our content online as well as in digital, print and social media formats. Here’s wishing you all another phenomenal year of happiness and success with Bahrain This Month being Your Guide to a Great Way of Life! THE TEAM Publisher and Chairman George F.
