Marina Climb Center

Marina Climb

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]

Marina World Skate Park

Marina World Skate Park

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]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

ufc 3

I have been watching UFC since morning starting from UFC 1 all the way to UFC 7. There were some amazing fights especially since the original UFC fights didn’t have any rules.

My favorite fight so far has to be Emmanuel Yarborough vs Keith Hackney. Emmanuel is 2.06 meters and weighs 280KG while Keith is 90KG and 1.8 meters tall, so it was a match between David and Goliath. Emmanuel is actually in the guiness book of records for being the largest athlete. Anyway he ended up losing the fight but Keith actually fractured his hand while trying to knock Emmanuel out. He later became known as Keith “The Giant Killer” Hackney. He must have punched Emmanuel’s head like 30 times before the fight was stopped, it was like trying to put down a giant bear using only a spoon.

Thats whats cool about the old UFC’s, no rules, no weight classes and a lot of blood.

Skate Park

Skate Park

While driving to Maki yesterday at Marina Waves I noticed the Skate Park at the side of the parking lot was open. I had passed it a few times before but the lights were always off but yesterday they were open and some kids were riding their BMX bikes up and down the ramps. On the way out I got a better look (while still driving by in the car) and I noticed the two kids had similar blue helmets and bikes. This is why I am guessing that the park actually rents out bikes, boards, blades and gear. I should probably pass by another day and try to get more details unless a reader already has more details and can share it with us. It looks wayyyy better then the one that used to be located in the basement of the Salmiya palace Hotel.

How Brazilian soccer players get their names

An interesting article I found via Kottke that talks about how Brazilian players dont have last names (Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cafu, Fred..) and why that is. [Link]

Players with the same first name often change their moniker to differentiate themselves. In recent decades, there have been several Ronaldos at the national level. One became known as Ronaldao, meaning “big Ronaldo.” Another became Ronaldinho, meaning “little Ronaldo.” When another Ronaldinho came along in the late 1990s, he was called Ronaldinho Gaucho—that is, “little Ronaldo from Rio Grande do Sul.” Eventually, the first Ronaldo left the Brazilian national squad, so Ronaldinho became Ronaldo. Ronaldinho Gaucho became Ronaldinho.
