2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003
I am extremely exhausted and both Nat and Geo are currently asleep. They went to sleep like 2 hours ago while I stayed up playing on my PSP. I won’t be able to upload the pictures today since I am going to fall asleep on the keyboard any second now. Anyway I will leave you with one picture tonight, its of Geo accepting his second place ribbon.
The iPod Hi-Fi is available at Virgin and they are selling it for KD150. It’s a lot smaller then I imagined it to be, it looks a lot bigger in the pictures.
Just got back home from the Dog Show event that was held at the British Embassy. We were there from 2PM and it was a lot of fun. Geo won second place in the Best Puppy competition which was really great. I took a lot of pictures and some video which I will probably post later today with a more detailed account on everything that happened. At the moment I am starving since I didn’t have any lunch yet so I am just gonna freshen up and then go have Chinese food.
Just got 2 invites for the Mardi Gras event that will be held at the US embassy on April 18th. It should turn out to be a lot of fun but what I am expecting will be even more fun is the dog show event at the British embassy tomorrow. I will take pictures and post them up when I get back home.
Today is the last day for the Camel races since they stop racing in the summer. The AWARE Center is arranging a final trip to the racing club in Kabad today. You can join them and take photos with the camels, and if time permits ride them. They will be meeting at the club at 2PM. Maps will be provided and admission to the club is free.
Date: Thursday, April 6
Time: 2pm
I just called the Kuwait Zoo to find out until what time they were open today and the guy was like 12PM. I figured that was because today is Thursday and maybe the Zoo have half day. So I asked the guy how about on usual days, till what time are you open? He was like 12PM, we are open till 12PM everyday except for Saturday when we are closed.
I find that a bit strange to be open till just 12PM, I know I have been there past 12 before like 5 or something. I guess this is their new summer time although I don’t count this weather summary yet..
Kuwait Zoo telephone: 24733389
Update: Here are pictures I took the last time I was at the zoo [Pictures]
Update2: Opening hours are now 8 to 12 and 4 to 8.
There is a Choowy Goowy review in Bazaar this month did anyone read it yet?
Note: If you read the article you will get my title
I don’t know about the rest of Kuwait but its raining hail like crazy here in Kuwait City. I called my mum and it still hasn’t rained in Salmiya.. weird.
Simply Stinni found another link for an online maid shopping site. This place has an even larger collection of maids and allows you to search by age, sex, nationality, religion etc.. kinda like those match making sites… [Link]
A week ago I got 2 liters of sorbet from Booza Booza to try out. Booza Booza belongs to the same group of young Kuwaitis that own Choowy Goowy cookies as I mentioned before. I managed to get more details on their sorbet’s from one of the owners yesterday and this is what I got.

I tried the sorbet and as I told Nat, its as if I am having a fruit salad. The sorbet is very flavored with my favorite being Mango. The Lemon is also since its tastes like lemonade. When I had it with the other the other flavors though the Lemon was too over powering so it might be best to have it alone.

Around 10 days ago a fire broke out in the building right in front of my office and today a fire broke out in the building to the side of my office. The firefighter in the picture above was really pissed off at the other firefighters driving the fire trucks since they all parked in the wrong area and he was trying to get them to park in front of the main entrance of the building. He was screaming at everyone and even at the cops who had parked their car strategically between the firetrucks and the building on fire. I snapped a few shots and then left for lunch.
The US Embassy will be having a Mari Gras event on April 18th at the US Embassy starting at 6PM. I will try to get more information on this event but I am guessing there will be a lot of beer available and I am hoping a lot of girls flashing, but most probably no topless girls just beer.
We needed an ambulance at our office because a guy with diabetes fainted due to low sugar (or something like that). We called 777 and within 5 minutes the paramedics arrived. I am impressed.
