I just realized today is my 22nd blogging anniversary. I published my first post on February 6th, 2003 on qHate.com which I just realized is currently down. Turns out I changed hosts and forgot to point the domain to the new one.
Super strange that blogger.com is still online it’s the software and host we had used back then to blog from. I just logged in to make sure that Feb 6 was when I first started blogging and was surprised it worked.
22 years, still blogging.

Wishing you a further 22 years more of Blogging. Left Kuwait during COVID but born and brought up there, but your blog helped me and us friends a lot for new events/pop ups/ restaurants while we were there. Cheers
Congrats?😂
Happy Anniversary, you can Marzouq still pop-up in my home screen icons despite zdistrict.com being down since 2014
his website is down but he’s very active on instagram
Been following your blog since I was a kid.
Many more years Insha Allah 🙂
Wish you all the best. Reading your blogs since 2008. Still check out your blogs for new updates. “Things to do this weekend” my favourite.
Please tell us what’s the story behind the name “248am”
the story isn’t that exciting, 248am was the title of my end of year project in university. after graduating I kept the domain name and later when I wanted to start another blog alongside my other blog miskan.com, I looked at one domains I had available and I had two I wasn’t using, 248am.com and stonedversion.com, thankfully ended up going with 248am lol
Great job Mark
Amazing, you saw the vision early on.
Came to Kuwait in 2007 and a day not goes without me opening 248,thank you for everything
Mashallah,Mubrook,vow 22 years
Thank you for continuing to be the best source of what’s on and what is hot/not in Kuwait.
You are definitely most expat’s go-to in Kuwait.
Long may you continue.
What was wrong with my comment that it’s not posted here
What was your favorite memory associated with this blog?
I think its memories associated with experiences which I posted about a couple of years ago

since then I’d add two more, Red Bull Mobile sending me to the Red Bull F1 Racing Factory and Ikea sending me to their headquarters in Sweden.
Many more to come Mark <3
Congratulations Mark on this milestone. Wishing you many many more anniversaries!
