“The Kuwait Green Wall” project, which aims to plant 315,000 trees on a stretch of 420 kilometers on the borders of the country in a call to implement effective solutions to the rising environmental and climate issues.

I would rather they plant 315,000 trees in Salmiya where I can at least see them instead of all the way in the middle of no where but that’s just me. Sorry I’m just pissed off because the middle sidewalk in old Salmiya has still not been planted. [YouTube]

Update: Maybe they should first launch a campaign to stop cutting trees in Kuwait?

Since today is Saint Patrick’s Day I found this fitting. [YouTube]

Thanks Maytham

I have been here over 3 years and Kuwait has given me a lot to be thankful for despite the setbacks and usual things people tend to debate here and I just wanted to say thank you to it and those who I have had the good fortune to come across in it. – TJC

Chris Mcdougall uploaded a video onto YouTube which he shot himself when he BASE jumped from Hamra Tower this past weekend. This is what he had to say about it:

the raw hand cam and head cam from the first ever base jumps in Kuwait. the exit point was very bad and unstable so i kicked like a bitch and i got a big booga on the camera and on my face on opening. But the one handed landing made up for the other clumsy stuff. More to come in the Middle East….Game on 🙂 P.S. Thanks to Camco Global events for making it happen!

I’ve always been curious to see inside so this was cool. [YouTube]

Two guys have been experimenting for some time now trying to shoot aerial photography in Kuwait and they’ve recently cracked it and released their first video. They went to the Al-Farisi Kite Festival and using an RC helicopter were able to shoot the video above. It’s a really cool perspective. [YouTube]

Gulf Run 8 was held late last month and the video of the trip just came out a few days back. The video was filmed and put together by my friend TJC [YouTube]

The company Parente Fireworks who were part of the Kuwait Fireworks Guinness World Record have uploaded two “making of” videos onto YouTube. The first video on top contains some behind the scene shots including ones from the control room during the event. The video below on the other hand summarizes that actual fireworks event down to around 5 minutes.

No clue what it was about. [YouTube]

Since we’re on the subject of violence, there was another stabbing at Avenues as well this past Friday. [Link]

I promise this will be the last post related to the fireworks show but I really have to share this video. It’s the fireworks show shot from the perspective of the kite flyers who took part in the event. I swear one scene reminded me of the movie Apocalypse Now. [YouTube]

What I loved about this video is the fact it revolves around the human emotions during the fireworks show and not the actual fireworks.
