In Bahrain, a foreign company must be owned by a local. Mohammed Al Wazzan is the 'owner' of our local office. He is a gracious and delightful man. Over the past week, he has met us for dinner, lunch, invited us to his nephew's wedding reception, and brought us to his seaside villa (like a cabin for my MN friends or cottage for my cheesehead friends). He also introduced me to some of his friends; a factory owner, the head surgeon in all Bahrain (who is also shia) and a government employee who works directly for the royal family while at the sea.
