SOME contrast

I’ve been wanting a massage for some weeks now. I haven’t had any massages in Kuwait before, but after hearing good things about the day spa I called them up and made an appointment for a swedish massage.

I called them the same day and just 2 hours before the massage time. The swedish massage was recommended by a friend and also happened to be the only one they had for 8 pm. I went home took a bag with some clothes and a camera. I got there 20 minutes early, and I regretted arriving early. I waited by the door, in the street for 20 minutes. I knocked and called them and nothing, no one opened the door and the phone was always busy. Not a good first impression. Even the waitresses at Pomodoro (same owner) came to help and then invited me to stay at their tables which were less than 10 meters away. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do. I’m waiting outside and they’re not returning my calls.. definitely not a good first impression.

20 minutes later a guy opened the door and poked his head outside. I got up and started walking fast toward him. I was angry and wanted to yell at someone. The guy was very apologetic and very very nice.. I couldn’t even stay angry at this stupid incident, which made me feel bad, I wanted to lash out..

The place was dark, and I mean DARK. I couldn’t see where I was stepping at first and had to wait for my eyes to adjust, and when they did.. wow. The place was very well decorated! they did the best they could with the limited space they have. It has this indian, buddhist, cave-like atmosphere, with eastern/indian instrumentals being played in the backgound. Very relaxing. I was escorted to the other room after filling a little form, and that room looked even more exotic. I was seated in one of the chairs (pictured above) and was offered to have a drink while I wait.

The room was dimly lit too. The guy told me I could take a shower now or after the massage or both, it was up to me. The massage lasted a full hour. I enjoyed every second of it. Aside from the incident with the closed door at the beginning, the place was perfect in every way. Full privacy, very clean, and they all were very friendly. I would definitely go back.

The swedish massage costs KD18. My bill was KD22 coz I bought a bottle of their shampoo. It’s located in the Jebla area, near the church and starbucks. Right behind Pomodoro restaurant.

Tel: 2496699
Time: 10am-10pm

PS It’s for Men only. Sorry ladies.

Basically it depends on how good you are at memorizing stuff and based on your memorization they calculat your age. Just remember the positions too each number and then click each one from the smallest to the highest.

The results for our last poll are in. The question was What Do You Think of Gergai3an? Over 300 votes and now here are the results for each answer:

1. Fun 43%
2. Lost it’s meaning 41%
3. I don’t care 7%
4. I hate loud kids 7%
5. What is gergai3an 2%

It’s nice to know that it’s still fun for most people but still, we should tone down the extravagant gergai3ans. We should keep in mind that kids should still be able to enjoy it. It was meant to make them happy after all.

Did you notice how the weather changed yesterday? It wasn’t gradual. It went from dusty and zift to CHAK BOM cold!

We stayed outside yesterday for the most part. We’re in the chalet so its nice to stay out for a change, We even did some barbecuing and did not get suicidal afterwards. We grilled some burgers and sausages and then took a carpet along with a potful of tea on coal (chay dowwa) and stayed out for awhile to enjoy the weather. It was 21° in Alzour. Was it as cold in the city?

Does this mean it’s finally changing? *anti jinx!* a cold autumn for a change?

I know its too Dubai, but I like the sticker. You can get one from the Canada Dry Street in ‘Shari3 Alzeena’. My friend told me he paid 1kd for both plates.

I wonder if it’ll become another fad.

5 months ago I posted how it was easy to get an iTunes card off ebay, and till a couple of days ago it was the only way I could get an iTunes card. Well, the other day khalid made a comment on that post saying that he sell those cards.

I emailed him and learned that:

1-He sells iTunes gift cards and provide the cards via email.
2-Every $1 = 350 fils, which means a $10 iTunes card would cost 3.5kd and so on..
3-He’s got 2 bank accounts as a method of payment, meaning you deposit the card’s worth to his account on either Gulf Bank or NBK.

Here is his E-MAIL if you’re interested in buying some iTunes cards.

Our last poll was ‘What is your favorite Ramadan dish?’ Over 200 people decided the following:

1. Harees / Yereesh 32%
2. Tashreba 29%
3. Muchboos 16%
4. Em6abag 3%
5. I don’t care 20%

The tashreeba, my favorite, won the second position. It so deserved to be a #1

Our new poll got to do with Ramadan too. The Gergai3an is an old Kuwaiti tradition, where kids go door to door, on the 13th, 14th and 15th of every Ramadan, singing a traditional tune and in return get a handful of goodies (chocolates, nuts..etc.) We all went gerge3ing when we were kids and I remember that we couldn’t wait to measure our bagfuls of goodies and see who got the most.

So, What do you think of Gergai3an? You can submit your answers using the poll on the right sidebar.
