Q: I am a female accountant, I will be working in Manama. Im from the Philippines.

A: Well you can usually find an apartment if you contact people in your company. If you are female, ask the contacts you have in the company to set you up with some female roommates and you all can share an apartment. Otherwise you may want to ask at the Philipine Embassy in Bahrain. They can usually help you out and may be able to put you in contact with other people from your country who are looking for roommates. Their contact info is: Villa No. 992, Road No. 3119, Manama Town 311 Bahrain Tel: (973) 250-990 or 259-599 Fax: 00-973-258-583 Email: manamape@batelco.com.bh Make sure you contact them several times, and by phone.
