Your usual informative and detailed response contributing so much helpful advice.
If only I could be so helpful and contributing as someone just doing their usual of saying whatever pops into their head as fact when it's false. You said Bahrain airport has nothing but a Dairy Queen, a Coffee Bean and a pizza franchise. That's pretty funny that you believe that, and funnier that you offer it was wisdom.
But since we're going to frame this as helpful advice I'll do so: don't listen to cebuan, sometimes he says stuff when he has has no idea what he's talking about. Here is a list of restaurants at Bahrain airport:
Starbucks
Chili's
Costa Coffee
Dairy Queen
Papa John's
Jasmi's
Caribou
Romanos Macaroni Grill
Habara Irish Pub Int
Mcdonalds
Gloria Jeans Coffees
Magic Corn

It has nothing to do with what is worse, rather what is true.
More politely, please try to consider that it isn't providing useful/correct information if you're operating under the assumption that the entire universe remains permanently frozen in whatever state you last observed in many years ago.

No problem. This is a pretty casual site that deals mostly with opinions, personal experiences and even hearsay. Nobody expects recollections to reflect a permanently frozen state, and the reader presumably adjusts for that.

I expect that. Or at the least an approximate date at which they were. So rather than saying "this is how things are" it might be better to say "in 2014, this is how things were".
Here is a travel tip: Save your money up now but don't travel until the next recession hits. I guarantee that the mobs will be way down and there will be bargains to be had. That how it was in 2009 and 2010.
Last time I was in Europe was 2010. It was great except in Munich during Oktoberfest. That was a mob scene, but I'm glad I experienced it. I hope to return to Europe in 2021 or '22 so I can finally see Greece, Portugal, Scandinavia, and the Amalfi Coast.

Sorry about that. At my age, five years ago was "just the other day", when it encompasses most of living memory to a millennial.
So I was just talking on the airplane travel thread and someone mentioned that the food at airports was overpriced. LOL. Nooooo, you're kidding me. and then on another thread about restaurants in NYC the poster was mad because they ate at and was surprised that the food was expensive! "gasp"
Do people travel and think it's going to be like it is at home?? when you go to see a ball game or a concert do people really think the cost of beer is going to be the same as their local dive bar?
Next, chatting with someone about they went to London in July and couldn't understand why the cues were so long??? WTF????
If you book a Airbnb at the beach in July why are you shocked and surprised that the price is way more than in November??
Me too, which is what strikes me as so weird about this.
If someone on this forum says there is no direct train from Vienna to Budapest I would assume they are talking from recent experience with the rail system in Europe. I couldn't imagine having last looked at the schedule in 2014 and deciding I'm being helpful in informing everyone the state of things back then as if it were current, assuming that they will all guess the date of my last experience and appropriately disregard my useless contribution as outdated.
