2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003
Just yesterday I posted about the end of the Sub Club here in Kuwait but when I went to Sbarro for lunch they gave me their own version! Its only valid at Sbarro, Hardees, KFC and Baskin Robbins.. but the Fashionway branch. Order anything over KD1.200 from these 4 restaurants and they will give you a sticker. After 4 stickers you get your choice of either a Hardees or KFC combo for free! Offer valid till August 10th.
Was playing around with Google maps when I decided to check out Kuwait. It’s amazing! I didn’t think they would have Kuwait but they do. Now for some reason half of Salmiya is NOT available on Google and that half includes my house but a lot of other landmarks are available to spy on from above. Check out the Kuwait Towers and the Amirs house! [Link]
Update: Here is the link for an overhead shot of the airport. [Link]
It’s official now here in Kuwait also. No more Sub Club, no more stamps. When I asked the guy why they stopped them he told me because some kids in the States made copies and sold them on eBay. I was surprised to know the guy knew the full story. Now I have a whole bunch of Subway cards that are full and I can’t use them. SUCKS!
Just a note, the Hungry Bunny opening on the 4th ring road is NOT the official one. Thank you.
Just booked 2 tickets online for Batman Begins. Its supposed to be the best Batman movie yet. I tried to get tickets for the premier which was yesterday but I couldn’t find decent seats. So, I just booked the best 2 seats for a showing next week. I can’t wait.
Update: Just got the following message: “NBK Credit Card Holders only: Dial-a-movie now for Batman Begins & get a free ticket. Call 803456 or check NBK.com for more details.” So basically buy 1 ticket get the other one for free. Good deal..
I was on my way to lunch in Nibaq’s car when he noticed what looked like a large TV screen outside the Kuwaiti Stock Exchange. So, after lunch we decided to drive by it and there it was, a huge ass TV screen right outside. The location of it is really terrible though, there is a large tree right in front of it and I was only able to see the screen by climbing out of his sun roof and having him park his car right underneath it. They should seriously remove the tree or else this thing is useless.
Yesterday I was at Marina Mall and I noticed Dairy Queen at the food court shutdown. I guess it was bound to happen, last time I ate there the bread was old and the burger seemed raw. Then whenever I asked them for a chili dog they kept telling me they were out of it. I hope they open Wendeys instead.
Seems like an interesting site, haven’t had time to fully check it though. They recently setup a forum where photographers can share pictures and tips.[Link]
I was just cleaning up my mac when I found a video of a fight between the Qadsia soccer team and I think a Bahraini team. Its a fight that happened 2 years ago maybe where the Qadsia team kick the other teams ass. [Video Link]
Saw this Escalade parked outside Marina Mall tonight.

I am back from todays shoot. Was out in the sun since 9AM. I asked Nat to give me our sunblock in the morning but she couldn’t remember where she put it so now I look like a tomato, my face and neck are burnt. Thank you nat!
I woke up at 7AM also today. Something is wrong with the AC. Yesterday the guy came and gave it a full cleaning and it was working perfectly, and then suddenly I wake up today morning all hot and stuff. Now the AC is just giving out air and the hot is really hot. I hope I can find the guy so he can come fix it because I can’t spend the weekend at home like this.
I was at the Marina Mall food court for lunch when I noticed the interactive map screen upstairs had an issue. Turns out it runs on Windows… [Link to larger picture]
