2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003An electrical transformer caught on fire earlier today near Kabab al Hajat and one of my readers was able to capture the footage above while driving by. [YouTube]
Thanks Keith
Update: Below is another video taken from the opposite site (heading towards Fahaheel) and it was shot just as the fire had started. [YouTube]
Thanks Cajie
Turns out it was parked illegally in the taxi bay along with another Mercedes G Class from Kuwait that was also got towed. [YouTube]

Update: I found out what happened in the video above and it turned out to be just an innocent mistake that was blown out of proportion because the car that was towed was an Aventador. The store is the owner of the car parked the car in an illegal parking spot not knowing it was a spot dedicated to taxis. The sign was written in French and there were other cars parked so he just parked next to the other cars. Turns out the spot he parked in specifically was a taxi spot which is why it got towed.
Hilarious but really catchy. [YouTube]
Thanks Jay
Friday at Salhia from Moayad Hassan
I love that area of Kuwait City even though most of it is falling apart. Lots of life.
Video from the last day of school at ASK back in 1988. I didn’t know they had the bubble back then. Very cool video, wish I had a Sunshine School 1988 video.. [YouTube]

This video has been circulating the web for the past 2 days (warning it’s graphic) but I was wondering if anyone else thinks it could be a fake? For some reason this feels like a Saudi awareness campaign to try and show the guys who street drift like this what could happen. The car rollover effects also kinda reminds me of [This]
Update: Frankom just shared with me some more videos of this incident in the comments below and I’m not starting to think it’s real.
On his regular cruise to the Kubbar Islands, Sheikh Mishal noticed that the beach is in a very bad state due to the litter & trash left over by the visitors and needed to be cleaned up. Teaming up and taking the initiative he organized this event to mark the “EARTH DAY”, they used bags to collect all the refuse dumped along the sand. Soon enough, everyone around at the beach at that time started joining in.
This video shows the exact condition of the beach before the clean-up began and how it looked after this campaign. More and more people in Kuwait are showing initiative in keeping Kuwait clean, safe, and beautiful for the future generations. This was an experience worth sharing and we encourage “one & all” to keep & maintain the heritage of Kuwait beaches.
That’s a lot of garbage for an island with no inhabitants. [YouTube]
A reader sent me a link to this video of an accident that took place on the Gulf Road sometime last month. I’m not sure what the cause was and I really hope no one got badly hurt. The video doesn’t contain anything graphic but it’s might be difficult for some viewers to watch. [YouTube]

Looks fun. Too bad their timings conflict with my Core Fitness schedule. [YouTube]
Frankom posted a video of what looks like a sporting event that took place in Kuwait recently and the girl who came in first was from Kazakhstan. Instead of playing the official Kazakhstan national anthem during the flag raising they mistakenly played Borat’s version of the anthem which I found hilarious.
The look on the girls face is priceless, she’s either thinking “wtf are they playing?” OR “damn it not again!”. [Video]
Update: The original video was removed from YouTube so I’ve uploaded it again and updated the links.
Cinemagics recently got their hands on a CineFlex camera and proceeded to shoot Kuwait from the sky. It’s the second time they bring the camera to Kuwait and the video above is a collection of shots from the two. It’s Kuwait like you’ve never seen it before so check it out. [YouTube]
