2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

The other day I posted a picture of what some guys in the States did with a Krispy Kreme donut. They took an original glazed donut and stuffed it with a cheese burger and although it looked a bit gross I imagine it probably tasted pretty good. Well some blog readers decided to try it out for themselves and went to Marina Mall and created their very own Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger. They’ve posted some pictures of the burger in the forum and even a video of it being eaten. This is something I’ve got to try.

SONY could slap their logo at the end of this and release it as part of their Color Like No Other campaign. [Vimeo]

FIVE60 are holding a Charity Ghabga event that will take place on September 17th to help raise money for Kuwait Association for the Care of Children in Hospitals – KACCH.

A lot of food and beverages vendors will be participating in the event so not only will you be enjoying fabulous food and drinks but it will also be for a good cause!

Venue: FIVE60
Address: Rawda, Block 5, Street 60, House # 4
Opposite Jamal Abdulnaser Park

Note: Ghabga for those of you who don’t know is a Kuwaiti word. Its the meal eaten during Ramadan between Futoor and Suhoor (futoor is when you break your fast, and suhoor is your last meal before sunrise in preparation for fasting the next day).

A reader called Sherv emailed me the photo above which was taken at The Avenues. According to him DKNY is opening up at the Avenues and Donna Karan in Salhiya. Both should be opening in October.

I was just at the Avenues (which was EXTREMELY overcrowded) when I spotted a new place that’s opening up called Obika Mozzarella Bar. I just checked their website and it looks like its going to be a cool and healthy place. They’ve got locations in Roma, Milano, London and Turin but they’re now opening up in Kuwait and New York (guess which is the odd one out). Can’t wait to try out them out. [Link]

You can now order the new iPods from Amazon, they’ve already added them and most models will ship within 10 days.

A friend of mine helped produce this music video and I thought I would share it with everyone. Its actually pretty good. [YouTube]

Tonight I had dinner at what was Hitlers favorite Italian restaurant, Osteria Italiana. The place used to be called Osteria Bavaria and Hitler used to eat there so often that he had his own armored room in the middle of the restaurant which I got to see. The food was incredible, very authentic and delicious. I heard this story that supposedly happened recently about this girl who came to the restaurant daily in hopes of seeing Hitler. She came in daily for a month and when she got fed up of waiting she asked the waiter if he knew when Hitler would be coming. When the waiter told her Hitler was dead the girl went into a depression and tried to shoot herself. She ended up in a failed suicide attempt and it now paralyzed neck down. Pretty weird.

I passed by an Apple retailer in Munich today to check and see if by any chance they had the new iPod’s in stock. Turns out they will get them at the end of the week which sucks for me since I would be back in Kuwait. While at the store I spotted the Cinemizer which I posted about back in May. There was a working display model which I got to play around with. Watching a video through the glasses felt like I was sitting in a dark room with a large TV in front of me which was pretty cool. The glasses were comfortable to wear and I think it would a lot more practical watching a movie with these glasses then off my tiny iPod screen. But I think I looked really weird standing in the store with these glasses on. Imagine the reaction you would get from strangers if you wore your sunglasses while on the plane. Now imagine the reaction you would get wearing these thick ugly frames with wires running out of them… [Link]

This is one of those look at how much free time some people have posts. A friend was telling me he has a friend who’s Ramadan working hours is from 11 to 1PM which is even less working hours then the banks which are open from 10:30 to 1PM. Seriously I need to change jobs. [YouTube]

I wonder if they’re already available at Mac dealers here in Munich. If they are then I am going to have a hard time choosing a color. [Link]

The connection sucks (thats what the topic title is supposed to say) at my hotel. Its free Internet but I would be willing to pay for a faster connection. Currently its worse than dial up speed and its not like I am in the Sahara Desert or in Antartica, I am in Munich!

These are probably the most visually challenged sneakers I have seen but I’ve had my eyes on them since April and I couldn’t resist not getting them. They just look really random, like a monkey put them together or something.

I found the pair on sale at this pretty cool sneaker store here in Munich that sells exclusive stuff. Its not as big as Size? in London but its walking distance from my hotel.

Update: I also got [These] and will be getting [These] and [These]

I’d try it… [Link]

Yesterday I passed by Adidas Originals near my hotel but found it closed since it turned out they were renovating and the reopening would be today (lucky me). I passed by a few hours ago to see if they still had anymore Adidas Diesel jeans and turns out they had just received the new seasons collection. I got a pair and will be going back again for another. I tried finding them online last time but they only sell them at Adidas stores and are a limited run so even finding new pairs on eBay isn’t easy.
