Yesterday I found out a friend of a friend of mine gets paid $25,000 a month working for a US company here in Kuwait. His job is basic accounting and every so often he gets sent to Iraq to a heavily protected military base in the middle of no where. When he gets sent to Iraq his salary increases. Another friend of mine, his dads secretary used to get paid KD100 a month, she then left to go work for the Americans. She now averages a salary of KD900 to KD1100 depending on how much overtime she does. She barely speaks English, she doesn’t have any special skills, she is also flat out ugly.

Now I feel like I am in the wrong field or atleast getting under paid. How can I hook myself up with one of those high paying jobs here??

I think I am going to get me one of these foofpod ipod sleeves. They look very cozy and snugly, just need to figure out which color goes better with my blue mini.. or maybe it doesn’t have to match.. [Link]

How does a 4 billion mega pixel picture taken by a digital camera look like? Unbelievable, check this link out. [Link]

This is the picture of the fake Hungry Bunny that I spoke about a few days ago thats opening on the 4th ring road. As you can see, although they are using a similar typeface and color scheme as the official Hungry Bunny, the main visual of the bunny rabbit is different.

Pepsi have a promotion going on where if you send them an SMS you have a chance to win an iPod shuffle. When I first saw the ad I thought they had a Pepsi iTunes promotion going on like the one in the States.

I found this under my building.

Just yesterday I posted about the end of the Sub Club here in Kuwait but when I went to Sbarro for lunch they gave me their own version! Its only valid at Sbarro, Hardees, KFC and Baskin Robbins.. but the Fashionway branch. Order anything over KD1.200 from these 4 restaurants and they will give you a sticker. After 4 stickers you get your choice of either a Hardees or KFC combo for free! Offer valid till August 10th.

Was playing around with Google maps when I decided to check out Kuwait. It’s amazing! I didn’t think they would have Kuwait but they do. Now for some reason half of Salmiya is NOT available on Google and that half includes my house but a lot of other landmarks are available to spy on from above. Check out the Kuwait Towers and the Amirs house! [Link]

Update: Here is the link for an overhead shot of the airport. [Link]

This site has some classic arcade games as flash, my favorite is Space Invaders followed closely by Moon Patrol. [Link]

It’s official now here in Kuwait also. No more Sub Club, no more stamps. When I asked the guy why they stopped them he told me because some kids in the States made copies and sold them on eBay. I was surprised to know the guy knew the full story. Now I have a whole bunch of Subway cards that are full and I can’t use them. SUCKS!

Thank God my university didn’t have rules like this, I would have gone broke!

– Students of the opposite sex visiting alone at an off-campus residence ($50 Fine)

– Attendance at, possession or viewing of, an “R,” “NC-17” or “X”-rated movie ($50 Fine)

– Entering bedroom of the opposite sex on/off campus or allowing the same ($250 Fine)

– Possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages ($500 Fine)

– Spending the night with a person of the opposite sex ($500 Fine)

There are a lot more stupid rules like this at Liberty University, check them out. [Link]

It seems Flickr got banned yesterday in UAE. According to this discussion, Flickr got banned because of the nudity found on it. This said, the UAE users are blamming the people who are shooting nudes for the ban when they should be blaming their government.

Update: According to a comment left in this post the UAE flickr community will be moving to UAEflickr.com

Update 2: Can’t find nudes on Flickr? Try this link, followed by this link and then this link.

Just a note, the Hungry Bunny opening on the 4th ring road is NOT the official one. Thank you.
