Hey Shikra... It depends on what sort of hotel/accomodation you're looking for.. 3, 4, or 5 stars?
As to meeting people from different countries.. I don't think that'll be too different from saudi.. Unless you go to the right places... Cuz we actually have a night-life, unlike saudi, so u'll find some expats in certain bars/clubs/resturaunts, but still, i wouldn't say too many..
The difference in interaction.. Well, i would think (but perhaps i'm slightly bias) that bahrainis generally come off as more educated.. Better english/communication skills, thats for sure..
Also, they tend to be nicer.. Bahrainis tend to be interested/curious when it comes to expats sometimes..
You might not necessarily be able to tell right away, but if u worked here after working in Saudi, i'm sure u'd notice..
Plus one more thing, u'll notice bahrainis drive much better.. Just yesterday a crazy qatar was cutting in line in front of me, and then a few mins later a saudi suddenly without using his indicator turns wrongly in front of me, crossing to the 3rd lane across.. Ridiculous.. No road etiquette... No manners.. and just so wrong, lol..
