2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003
A friend of mine got his Mercedes G55 wrapped in chrome foil. Its also supposedly the first chrome car in Kuwait because it isn’t usually legal to do. He used to have it matte black before but I think this looks cooler since EVERYONE is wrapping their cars in matte black.
Géant hypermarket will be opening in Kuwait at the 360 degrees mall in June 2009. Although Sultan Center purchased and took over the Géant franchise in Lebanon, Tamdeen Group will own the Géant chain in Kuwait.
Thanks YBhatti!
I am at the Beirut Airport waiting for my flight back to Kuwait. I think its been 10 days exactly since I left and I can’t wait to get back although I am soooo going to miss the beautiful skies here…

I picked up the latest issue of brownbook and they had an article on Kuwait’s online fashion market mentioning how there were nearly 60 online stores and highlighting their favorite 7. Here they are:

Just got back from watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It was toooo long and verrrrrry boring. Maybe if it was an hour shorter, MAYBE it would have been interesting but it just dragged and dragged. On my way out I overheard a group of girls talk about how much they loved the movie and I guess thats how it got an 8.3 out of 10 on IMDB, its a chick flick!
On a positive note before the movie started I watched the trailer for Watchmen, now THATS going to be one helluva movie! [Link]
Proud to be Kuwaiti is a foundation that was formed to recognize and encourage the youth of Kuwait to depend on themselves and establish their own business by giving their skills and talent a chance to shine. I posted about them last year when they had their first event and tomorrow the event is back for the second time. Like last year a ton of small local start ups will be participating. I won’t be able to attend since I am in Lebanon but Nataly will be going for sure. Here are some event details:
Proud 2 be Kuwaiti

Was up from 3AM because we had a 3 hour drive to the middle of nowhere today. I experienced temperatures ranging from freezing 2 degrees all the way up to a hot 20. We had heavy rain, heavy fog, light snow and sizzling heat all in one day! Anyway in one of the locations we were in there was an almond tree. I took a few pictures of it but the one above was my favorite.
From The Exhibition:
My Q8
Date: February 24th
Time: 6PM-10PM
Location: The ExhibitionAs you all know, February 25th and 26th are days for celebrating.
Come and join us in celebrating Kuwait’s National and Liberation Days at The Exhibition! We’re all here to show our love of Kuwait.
‘My Q8’ is night where these talented photographers and poets can display their beautiful and personal photographs and poems at The Exhibition.
They want to make you see what Kuwait means to them and they will be doing that by expressing their love of this country the best way they can: through their art and poetry!
Artists and poets will be donating a percentage of their profits to various charities.
Was at a semi-abandoned park today and managed to capture a lot of interesting shots with my Sony W300 which you can check below. I regret not having my D90 with me…
It’s cold, its wet but the air is so clean and fresh. No dust!
A reader spotted a car on fire early morning in the evening while out cycling and managed to capture some pictures to share it with everyone. Looks like there was a big crowd.
Thanks Hamad!
Looks like a total meltdown over there. On the plus side, there will be less traffic and cheaper rent once it turns into a ghost town. Here is a link to a really harsh (but probably very true) article entitled “Goodbye Dubai”. [Link]
