A friend of mine just got his Lexus IS F. He had to import it from the States since the local dealer isn’t getting them. The car would sell like hotcakes if they did so its strange why they aren’t getting it.

Living Room Lounge
Confashions from Kuwait has pictures of a new cafe that opened up in Marina Waves called Living Room Lounge. Based on the pictures it looks like a really cool place. Can’t wait to try it. [Link]
Still haven’t decided if I like these or not. [Link]
I’ve been seeing him for around 2 years now. He’s always, ALWAYS wearing huge headphones, sunglasses, bright colored clothes and always holding dumbbells. [YouTube]
In the comments of the previous Blockbuster post someone mentioned a Kuwaiti movie called “One More Chance” that is going to get released soon in Kuwait. So I did a quick Google and found the trailer for it on the blog Buzberry. It looks like its going to be a really funny movie. I think they’ve spoofed movies like Get Smart (which I watched a few days back and really liked), The Matrix and James Bond. The production quality and acting seems like complete crap but I guess that helps making it a comedy. Check out the trailer above. [YouTube]
How come we don’t have a proper DVD and videogame rental store? I doubt it’s because of censorship because there are a ton of movies that don’t need or have anything to be censored. The last barely decent rental place I remember was The Video Club and that wasn’t anything close to a Blockbuster in the States or Canada. We’ve never had a proper rental place in Kuwait. It’s really strange.

Want to buy an Ambulance?
A friend of mine found this ambulance for sale in Hawalli. The ambulance comes pre-installed with a CB radio, intercom system, sirens and lights. Asking price? KD6,500. If its always been a dream of yours to drive an ambulance this could be your chance, I’m still looking for a firetruck!
Thanks Holla

Beyond 2000
Anyone remember the show Beyond 2000? It used to be one of my favorites and the intro music is as memorable as all the other cool shows from back then. The show now has been replaced with Beyond Tomorrow which airs on Discovery Science but I don’t think its as memorable. [YouTube]

A friend just told me that there is a KD35 burger at Burgan Bank’s Chairman Club. Can anyone confirm that?

The Sultan Center Mega Market
Sultan Center recently purchased Giant and Monoprix Supermarkets here in Lebanon and they’ve started rebranding them. Buzberry earlier in the month posted a picture of the TSC PLUS logo which is what they are calling their small branches and today I noticed their really large branch was branded as TSC Mega Market. Sultan Center now has incredible amount of market share since they purchased the two largest supermarket chains here in Lebanon.
The Animal Friends League in Kuwait recently rescued 15 dogs that were living outdoors on a farm in Kebd. The dogs were never taken indoors not even during the extreme summer heat. AFL have some pictures and more information on their website plus a YouTube video. Fourteen of the dogs were Saluki’s and are now being prepared to be transported to the USA where they will be handed over to the Saluki Tree of Life Alliance. They are seeking donations to help with this and you can get more information about that on their website [Here]
I also found an article on the Saluki Tree of Life Alliance website on this rescue and on other rescues in Kuwait. The article contains a slightly graphic picture. [Link]
If you would like to help them out with donations please call them on 7001622

Beirut in the summer
Its just too crowded, I hate it. There is a guy in my hotel that has the ugliest Hummer H3 I have ever seen, the car has Saudi license plates so you could already imagine what I am talking about. I am going to try and take pictures of it tomorrow.
Just saw this on CNN, a Kite Surfer in Florida got swept away and got thrown into a building and it was all caught on video. [YouTube]
Update: Fixed the video
