2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

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.

I have been trying to follow this year�s ‘Ramadan Season’ television; however, most of our beloved shows have given up on originality and are just trying to add a new taboo to a recycled story line.

My family actually looks forward to the commercial breaks more than the shows themselves. You know there is something wrong when advertisements are more entertaining than the content itself. [YouTube]

An anonymous reader emailed me a link to this article. It seems its confirmed, Kuwait is going with Dodge Chargers which is something everyone thought would happen since the alternatives weren’t as practical. [Link]

I am in Munich on a work related trip but this time around I’ve actually taken a few extra personal days before work starts so that I could try do as many things as I can here in Munich and visiting the BMW Museum is one of them. Last time I came to Munich the BMW Museum was closed for renovation which was very disappointing and I was really hoping this time around it would be open and luckily it was. The place is just incredible and I am glad I got to see it after the renovation because it just looks super futuristic. I got to see a ton of my favorite vintage BMW’s all in factory new condition and I also got to see the concept car Gina which looks better in person than it did in the videos online.

I am definitely going to come back to the museum one more time before I leave. To see some more pictures and videos I took click on continue reading below.

While having breakfast today I noticed the place I was in had Red Bull Cola which I first posted about back in March but still hadn’t had the chance to try. I have to say its the worst carbonated soft drink I have ever had. It tastes nothing like Coca Cola or Pepsi, it was just horrible. After two sips I just trashed it. It was really really terrible, REALLY terrible!

I am flying out to Munich in a few hours and will be back in Kuwait on the 11th. I can’t wait to get out of this nasty humid weather. I am trying to cut down on the electronics I take with me. No particular reason except for the fact that I don’t end up using them half the time. Currently I think I am only taking three things, my new MSI Wind laptop, my iPod to watch movies on and my Sony digital camera. No video games at all this time around, my Nintendo DS and Sony PSP are staying behind.

I hope these don’t catch on here in Kuwait. Just what we need, guys driving around in Swarovski studded cars while wearing Swarovski studded contacts. [Link]

I noticed a ton of new places opened up at the Avenues food court, most of which I hadn’t heard of before, here are their names:

IZ Juice
Shanghai Express
Dondurma
Dippin’ Dots
Santoor
Rice
Sawah
Nolita Pizza
Meias

I think thats pretty cool, finally we have some new fast food places…
