Kind of a neat teaching tool. It also showed me that I am still terrible at Middle Eastern Geography.

If you need to cheat (I did) here is a map. http://www.rethinkingschools.org/sta...s/largemap.pdf

 

ok, where the heck is bahrain?

i did good exept they changed the names of some of the countries since the last time I had to find anything on a world map.

 

I was good throughout Eurasia and North Africa. Interior Africa...not so much. I'd guess it's because I've never been there and the darn names change every other year!

 

Pretty cool map there bark... Way to make a guy feel stoooopid

Ma, Bahrain is the little tiny dot next to Quatar... Supposed to be a really cool place... I will probably never find out, unless I go off shore.

 

Yeah, I gave up.. The only thing I seen was a bunch of X's to drop bombs on.

 

Bahrain has a U.S. naval base there. We would fly resupply missions. It is different there than the rest of the middle east as it tends to be more westernized. Saudis go there to party and do things not allowed in Saudi.
Very, very humid place. Louisiana (or anywhere in the south) has got nothing on them for heat/humidity.

I recall one day I was there: 138* with 92% humidity. Of course that was the official temp from the wet bulb in the shade. Trust me when I say the flightline temps were much higher... the heat was melting the tires on the truck I was driving. A lot like pouring bleach on them. The old time truckers might remember that trick.

 

Guy that I worked with was a Marine who was at Bahrain. He talked about how miserable it could get.

If anybody finds maps similar to this for other areas let me know. I think its a pretty good teaching tool.

 

This one`s a little closer to home.

Not bad. Thats almost what I was looking for. I would like to find one for kids that you can do both timed and untimed. Still its pretty good but I wont tell you my score.
Thanks.

 

north of Qatar I think...
Qatar isn't that great.... dunno about Bahrain.

 

Its the small island just above Qatar

 

only thing i know about bahrain is they have a formula 1 grand prix there.
