Since the weather is good it might be the perfect time to try the Marina Climb. Its located in the center of Marina Waves and although I have never tried it before it looks like a lot of fun. One hour of climbing will cost you KD4 which isn’t that bad. For more pictures click [Here]

I passed by the Skate Park today while I was on my way to Maki. There was a guy in charge there and I asked him a couple of questions. I found out that it costs KD1.5 per hour to skate, rollerblade or bike in the park. They don’t rent out the gear nor do they have any gear to rent out. What they will provide you with though is the safety equipment like a helmet and elbow and knee guards. For more pictures click [Here]

Mac & More in Marina Mall have the red iPod Nano in stock but they are selling it for KD95 for some reason which is too expensive. Probably because they have a limited quantity, when I checked they had just 2 left.

Taken from the description of the video:

This is a video someone called Youfes did for a school project. The video is about how Kuwaiti teenagers are different and have different interests. My favorite part was “The Geezes”. [Video]

Thanks RJV

I just read in the forum that half a dozen donuts from Krispy Kreme costs KD2.750. Can anyone confirm that? I find that ridiculously overpriced if it is.

Update: seem these are the correct prices, but I still need to confirm it myself:
Original Glazed: 350fils for 1 / KD2.100 for 6 / KD3.000 for 12
Assorted Donuts: 400fils for 1 / KD2.400 for 6 / KD3.500 for 12

Awhile back k.thekuwaiti posted that he saw the Amazing Race reality show guys in Kuwait. Well the episode finally aired, its episode 6 of this season Amazing Race. I am currently downloading the episode as I am writing this. ForzaQ8 has a preview of the episode. [Link]

Recently PayPal started accepting credit cards from Bahrain, Qatar and UAE. How does Kuwait fit in to this? Well the American Express office in Kuwait issues their credit cards from Bahrain. So, if you have an American Express credit card you can now sign up for a PayPal account. When PayPal asks for your billing address just put the address of the Bahrain Amex office which is the following:

P O Box 5990
Al Seef District 428
Manama 428
Bahrain

For those of you who don’t have an American Express card you can get one from the American Express office located in Salhiya Complex. Their phone number is 2413000.

Thanks to BusyNow for sharing this information with me.

Just found a small rose bouquet on the door step of my apartment. Someone either has a crush on me… or Nat. I am guessing its not me.

What the hell? Two months back I got into a huge fight with Showtime because I wanted to cancel my subscription and they told me they were still going to take 1 more month of subscription fee because I didn’t give them a months notice. I couldn’t understand the logic and after a large argument I gave in as long as it meant I wouldn’t have to deal with them ever again.

Well guess what, I just checked my account balance and Showtime took another month of subscription from me! What kind of company is this? Its bad enough they took an extra month of subscription and now it seems they HAVEN’T even cancelled my subscription at all!

Showtime are really terrible, I keep thinking they can’t get any worse and they keep getting.

Back in Kuwait and feels really good.

If you still haven’t tried the Krispy Kreme donuts please send your address to [email protected] and he will make sure you receive half a dozen donuts for free.

As you know Krispy Kreme is giving away free donuts at Marina Mall. Problem is people are having a hard time finding the girl who is giving out the donuts. This is why, using my great mapping skills I have created a map to show the starting route of the donut girl. Using this map you will have the highest chance of successfully getting half a dozen donuts for free. [Map]

This is why they are giving tons of donuts away for free at Marina Mall. The employees are currently training on how to make the donuts. In the picture above the employees are watching the donuts roll out of the machine while their trainer explains to them the process.

A colleague at work took this picture on her way home.
