With this one we also broke the Guinness World Record for lamest idea ever. Here’s a link with a bit more details. [Link]

Taken from K’s PATH John Peaveler’s Facebook page:

Flamingos massacred at the Abdaliya Nature Preserve after poachers forced their way in on Thursday, November 17th, 2011. Even our responding staff who come from a rural part of India where live can be brutal thought to write the word “crime” with the shotgun shells. You can see their look of disgust. We were able to save two, one uninjured and one with a broken leg. Now we will try to save them.

Not sure what kind of people who shoot Flamingos for fun but this is horrible. If you’re logged in to Facebook you can see the pictures and get more information [Here] For more information click [Here]

Thanks Rayboy

When in doubt, just check ismajlisdissolved.com

Ignoring their spelling mistake but what exactly do they mean by surveillance cameras? Are these the regular speed cameras or have they installed something new?

Thanks Karim

It’s a simple program, actually it sounds more like a promo since the way it works is for every 10 tickets you get one free. For more details click [Here]

According to a job post on Emirates 24/7, International Service Check are looking for mystery shoppers in Kuwait. I know the last time I posted about mystery shoppers there was a lot of interest so this is a way for you to become one yourself. For more information click [Here]

A reader sent me the picture above of the Gucci Edition Fiat 500. I actually saw it last week at Salhiya and although I’m a fan of the Fiat 500, I didn’t think the Gucci edition was that cool. Personally I think the Diesel edition looks much better. No idea how much the Gucci edition costs but I’m guessing a bundle.

I just saw this video on iLSuL6ana’s blog of the flood that happened in Kuwait back in 1997. Whenever I tell new comers about it they keep thinking I’m exaggerating. It really was that bad. [YouTube]

Looks like Potbelly, Pinkberry and Starbucks inside the Duty Free at the Kuwait Airport isn’t opening anytime soon.

Just wanted to remind everyone that Good Bye, Lenin! is playing tonight a the Cinemagic rooftop (outdoor) theater. It’s a great movie and if you haven’t watched it before you should. The movie starts at 7:30pm and it’s for free. For more information click [Here]

Zahed Sultan just released his 3rd music video called “Walkin Away” from his “Hi Fear, Lo Love” album. You can watch it above or on [YouTube]

Before on top, now on the bottom. Other than the clutter I think the biggest change is the lack of natural daylight inside the airport.

Here is a link to a previous comparison. [Link]

I wasn’t planning on shooting a video, it just came to me while playing on the track so I didn’t have a tripod or a second hand to help me out. It’s not a great video but it still should give you a rough idea of what it’s like to race an RC car around the track. For some odd reason my edit turned out to be just 35 seconds so I repeated the lap twice in the video (it actually takes over a minute to race around the track without mistakes). If this track doesn’t convince you to get a race buggy then I’m not sure what would.

The large screen outside Al Hamra Tower was on as I passed by probably being tested out. Last week I noticed the tower lights were being tested out and the whole building was blinking and changing colors. Is it normal that every tower popping up in Kuwait now has it’s own light show taking place at night?
