2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

So yesterday I was kinda pissed that I forgot my phone in Dubai but now I am actually enjoying it. It’s been a peaceful day so far and although I should be getting my phone back tomorrow via DHL I think I am going to keep it turned off and see how long I can last without it. If I want a pager (beeper) can I still get one here in Kuwait?

I love Muthana Complex in Kuwait City because it has a lot of interesting shops and the latest I found is called Tea Art. Tea Art as you can guess from the name specializes in Tea and their stock is all imported directly from China. They sell Black, Green, Oolong, Pu-erh, White, Blooming and Red Tea. Their prices range greatly and they even have tea that costs over KD2,000 for 100 grams. I asked if I could try it and the answer was simply no, expensive teas can not be tried before purchase which sucks. Imagine dishing out KD2,000 for tea only to find that it tastes horrible.

They have cheaper teas that cost like KD600 and KD700 and for us regular folks they have tea that cost under KD20 and even under KD10 per 100 grams so it not all super duper expensive teas. Cheap teas (under KD20) make up the majority of their products.

If you are a tea fan they are located on the ground floor of the Muthana Complex next to elevator 6. Their phone number is 2490404.

I left Geo (my dog) with my parents for one night and this is what my sister did to him! [Link]

Note: This is not the first time… [Link]

I just tried going to www.mtc-vodafone.com to recharge Nat’s mobile when I noticed the site was down. So I decided to check www.zain.com and noticed the site is now online. I can’t seem to find the eeZee recharge link though… [Link]

Update: OK I think https://kw.zain.com/ is where the eeZee recharge link and the full website will be located. I think its currently down because they are uploading the new updated site during the middle of the night so that its fully functioning by morning time. Its 1:35AM at the moment.

Update 2: https://kw.zain.com/ is now also online.

In the dumbest move of the year, I forgot my mobile phone in Dubai.

SanDisk have a gorgous Ducati on display to compliment their new Ducati flash drives. I was expecting GITEX to be packed but it isn’t. (Posted from my Nokia e61i)

Largest in the world by SHARP. (Posted from my Nokia e61i)

Sony has some OLED displays at GITEX. So pretty… (Posted from my Nokia e61i)

Since I have 3 hours before I have to be at the airport I decided to pass by GITEX. I just got to the Apple stand hopefully they have the new iPods on display although I doubt they do. (Posted from my Nokia e61i)

I am going to Dubai tomorrow and coming back Saturday. I really don’t feel like going to Dubai, all I feel like doing is just sleeping in late and then ordering a pizza while I watch some TV on the couch. This would be the third weekend in a row in which I am traveling, but unlike the last two trips, Dubai doesn’t interest me. I won’t be taking my laptop with me and I don’t think I will be moblogging from there either. Last months bill increased nearly 600% from my usual because of my moblogging!

I was trying to figure out if I should get the iPhone or the iPod Touch for Nat and in the end decided on the iPhone. The iPhone has a few extra features over the iPod Touch, it has a phone (duh..), it has bluetooth, a digital camera and the battery lasts slightly longer. The price difference between an 8GB iPhone and an 8GB iPod Touch is also just $100. Now the downside is that the iPhone needs to be unlocked to work in Kuwait. I figured if I couldn’t figure out how to unlock it I will just end up with an iPod which can browse the web and take pictures which really isn’t that bad. You can check the side by side comparison on the features by following this [Link]

All the new iPods are now available on Amazon to order. It’s realy tough trying to figure which iPod to get…

Apple 16 GB iPod touch
Apple 8 GB iPod touch
Apple 160 GB iPod Classic
Apple 80 GB iPod Classic
Apple 8 GB iPod nano with Video
Apple 4 GB iPod nano with Video

Get your credit cards ready, the new iPods are out! [Link]

A friend at work (Holla) sent me this link and I fell for it. I thought this island actually existed and I was thinking about sending Geo there for vacation. [Link]
