While I was at Hilton AlMangaf I saw a couple of banners advertising a new thai restaurant that’ll open soon in the hotel. I didn’t think it was very smart to have 2 thai restaurants within the hotel, they already have the Blue Elephant.. So I asked the receptionist, and it turned out that the Elephant is going to be put down, and a new one is taking it’s place. The new one as you can see from the banner, is called Yin Yang, and they promise an authentic Thai food. (Wasn’t the Blue Elephant authentic enough?)

I asked her again, “Will the staff of Blue Elephant remain and work in this new restaurant?” And she said “yes the staff would remain unchanged,” and that it’s just a name change.

If what the lady said is true then I guess this is good news to those who liked the blue elephant. But seriously if you’re looking for a real good thai food (and can overlook the extreme modesty of the restaurant’s interiors), then you’ve got to try Oriental Cuisine. I reviewed it back in April.

Anyway, Yin Yang is opening on the 15th of this month.

Just spotted Friends Cafe in free zone located above Cafe Supreme.

I heard a lot of good stuff about Signor Sassi, the newly opened restaurant, and last week I had a chance to go out with the family and we all had lunch there. It’s an italian restaurant, a franchise, brought over by Americana. This is not your typical Americana restaurant, actually when it comes to the food’s quality and taste, it’s as authentic as a n3al naydiya to elneyada 😛 know what I mean?

The Spa time is now open at the avenues phase II and it looks magnificent from the outside. It is unfortunately only for women. I’d love to have a spa open at one of the malls that would cater to men as well.

Thanks HBZ

I was sent this video by email. The video is about Maha AlGhunaim, and has some interesting interviews and an overall look into her life.

Thanks Fawaz

Yep it’s on and starting tomorrow. Many schools are starting tomorrow and the Banking sector’s timing has changed to 8 o’clock, just like the rest of the private sector, so beware. Be prepared and get out of home early.

This video was sent in by a reader. While the point of sending this video was to expose the people behind those foul doings, I was distracted by the guy behind the camera. Obviously the guy who shot the video had intended to spread it, so why didn’t he at least try to feign a nicer attitude?

Where does he come off treating people in such a demeaning way to prove his point?!

Thanks Karim for the video. While your intentions may be sincere, your way of treating those (who in a perfect world would be) innocent people is appalling. And I sincerely hope you’d restrain yourself and start acknowledge them as humans (on par with you and I) with rights to be recognized. There must be a better way of doing this.

From the same people behind the Oqsim campaign comes a new campaign targeting Kuwait’s obscure talent’s. Zawaya, which is a none profit organization, and “A group of 15 young people who came together to bring out the talents of youth in Kuwait”, are organizing a Mahrajan to celebrate those talents. “Its going to be one of the high scale events with many professional help.”. It’ll be held at the Avenues Mall on the 24,25,26th of september from 11:00am to 6:00pm.

I ordered one from amazon.com but I don’t know when I’m gonna receive it, especially since the Eid holiday is upon us and all. But then a couple of days ago I read in a comment that it’s available in Kuwait! so yeah.. I bought it.

The book is available at Virgin Marina mall, it’s for KD 9.5 and is only available in Hardcover.

Remember my previous post about Mohamed Sayrafi’s show? well today I was reading iLSuL6ana’s blog and found out that not only Mohamad Sayrafi is fabricating every thing even Scoop’s one is fabricated! Wallah 3aib.

We were discussing the swine flu topic today and someone raised this question: Why does Kuwait have this high percentage of swine flu cases compared to neighboring countries?

A Doctor was present and he had this to say:

“Take the number of cases discovered in Kuwait and compare it to the cases discovered at country X, and then take the number of deaths caused by the swine flu in Kuwait and again in country X, you’d find the that Kuwait’s percentage is much smaller than the other country’s. This tells us that in Kuwait we have more “reported” cases than other countries because we are more able, financially, to test and discover those cases, whereas in other countries they don’t bother to test each sick individual for swine flu.

And to add something, the numbers will double soon, but that’s not because the outbreak just got worse or bigger (That’s what Kuwaitis like to say at diwaniyas), but the truth is, it’s because a new lab dedicated to swine flu tests just opened, And naturally this new lab will report more cases as the amounts of tests increase.”

So don’t freak out just yet!

With these tons of Ramadan’s series, I think you gonna miss a lot of them but with Video Library you can watch it online, it’s updated on daily basis. but the only problem is that you have to register.

I was invited by friends the other day to go to Jaber stadium, to take pictures of the first match to take place there. Ofcourse it’s an unofficial match between friends, but nevertheless, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

The stadium is big and beautiful (I thought it would be bigger though), plenty of parking space and many gates to let the cars in, and many ticket kiosks scattered around the parking area. I think they did a good job avoiding future congestions.
