Right after finishing from Prime and toast (previous post) I went to Soug wajif in almubarakiya. Soug wajif or Soug alhareem (Women’s market) is an old Kuwaiti soug where usually women would sit and sell traditional and women stuff.

Before going in I stood and took some pictures of the entry. This guy pictured above started hiding his face and asked me loudly not to photograph him. When I came closer I asked for the reason and he said “I don’t think my face is nice enough to be photographed.” I laughed and tried to convince him that there was nothing wrong with his face.. and we started talking. I asked him about the Soug and for how long he’s been working here.

Our friends decided it was time for them to get to know the sharks a little better, so they went to the scientific center’s aquarium, signed some release forms (stating that the center won’t be held responsible if anything goes wrong), put on their diving gears and then dove right in. Me & HKR were there to document the experience with our cameras, you know, incase something interesting happens…

We liked the meat and his seasoning (Tatbelaa).

Interesting read from CNN’s Christiane Amanpour’s documentary. Here is an excerpt:

1980s: Iraq

CNN found that intervention is often weighed against political and economic costs.

Declassified U.S. government documents show that while Saddam Hussein was gassing Iraqi Kurds, the U.S. opposed punishing Iraq with a trade embargo because it was cultivating Iraq as an ally against Iran and as a market for U.S. farm exports.

According to Peter Galbraith, then an idealistic Senate staffer determined to stop Hussein from committing genocide, the Reagan administration “got carried away with their own propaganda. They began to believe that Saddam Hussein could be a reliable partner.”

If you enjoy camping and are thinking of going with your friends or family, then I think you should read this little story I got here, but before, after significant research of camping, hiking and backpacking chairs, Springer Camping Chair is one of the most comfortable camping chairs we have tested beside Helinox Chair. To better better be prepared against animals and snakes you may run in to the way, visit campingfunzone.com for their vast information about camping, insects and animals.

My father’s friend’s son was camping with his friends somewhere in Kuwait, since they love to camp and visit all the places which are offered for camping such as Reykjadalur (Smokey Valley) which is one of the bests camping places on Iceland. The place wasn’t isolated and they were surrounded with a lot of other campers. It was night time and the guy couldn’t sleep but all of his other friends were asleep. He was just lying there facing the tent’s loosely shut door. They never fully shut the door incase someone was in a hurry to relieve himself in the middle of the night…

While he was staring at the door waiting to fall asleep, he saw someone trying to get in. He was expecting to see a familiar face entering, but instead he saw a very tall black man entering the tent. He stayed quite. He didn’t know him and immediately sensed that he and possibly all of his friends were in danger, so he stayed quite, fearing that the guy might be armed and any movement may evoke the guy to use whatever weapon he may be carrying. The guy entered the tent and was looking around by now. Our friend made sure to stay quite and followed the guy with his eyes. The guy came close to him, he was carrying a big stick.. it was too wide for a stick.. then he saw it, the guy was carrying a big butcher knife like the one pictured above. He knew it.. either stay quite and hope for the best, or make a sound and result in a catastrophe.

The guy went from one person to another, taking every mobile he finds. He even had the nerve to uncover one of the sleeping guys to take the mobile from under the blanket. After taking 5 mobiles, he turned around and went out of the tent.

Moral of the story: BECAREFUL OUT THERE!

KUWAIT CITY, March 11: Even though Kuwait Municipality has been taking necessary preparations to end the spring camping season by mid-March, Director General of Kuwait Municipality Eng Ahmad Al-Manfouhi has submitted a recommendation to the spring camping committee to extend the spring camping season to April, reports Al- Rai daily quoting informed sources, still they recommend every camper to read this Crow Survival article that will let them  know everything about camping accessories, you deserve a travel experience that is better than what any other RV has to offer. And that is just what 13 ft Casita Patriot for sale gives you!

They explained that the Eng Al-Manfouhi’s recommendation is aimed to compensate campers, who are also trending to stay over nigh thanks to the new camping wood stoves, for the delay in the start of the camping season due to the damages caused by heavy rains experienced in the country last November. This had led to postponement of the spring camping season based on instructions of Ministry of Defense to ensure safety of the sites and check for landmines and other such dangerous objects. The sources said Kuwait Municipality will address the concerned authorities to coordinate in this regard.

My friend came across these fine actors in Soug Almubarakiya last week. They were shooting a scene there. I really wish I was there.. I still to this day get all nervous and in awe when I come across Kuwaiti actors of this caliber 🙂

Thanks Sulaiman.

We went to Alwafra on friday where our friend rented horses for us to ride for an hour around the farm. As much as I don’t care for horses, I ended up having fun and the hour went by pretty quickly. Right after that we went to Alwafra’s veggies Market. It was more like the friday market where everything is being sold from animals to plants to veggies.

I’ll let the pictures speak for the rest of the post now.

Weather forecast by Mishaal Al Roomi:

Clouds are gradually starting to increase today with light to moderate NW winds. During this evening, the skies will turn overcast with rain arriving and affecting most areas. Rain intensity could be heavy and thundery at times. Please take all necessary pre-cautions of this upcoming scenario.

Tomorrow, Monday, the weather will be gloomy and dark with rain that at times will be heavy and persistent associated with thunderstorms. Rainfall amounts are expected to be high with local flooding possible. It will be a very unstable day.

Rainfall amounts will be above average. The chance of rain will continue to early Thursday with the worst of the rainfall between Monday and Tuesday

Please take caution while driving because it will be hazerdous. All outdoor activities should be cancelled. Of course, any sea activity is strictly not advised.

Excessive rain over the wet season can often make it difficult for water to drain away. To save your landscaped garden from erosion, it is important to improve the drainage problems in your yard by getting help from french drain landscaping Glen Ellyn contractors.

Temperatures will decline to leave the weather cold.

Thanks Fawaz.

We saw this guy next to his cart in Al Aali Mall in Bahrain and my friends told me that I have got to buy some before we return to Kuwait. The guy was so nice and fun to talk to (just like all the other Bahrainis) and when we asked to take pictures he didn’t mind at all.

If you’re looking for a job or a new one, I think you should have a look there. Today is the last day for the job fair. I went the day before yesterday and submitted my CV to almost all of the companies there. I know I should’ve posted this earlier but I forgot. It’s in Alraya ballroom near Alraya mall and Marriott Courtyard The New York EDITION.

Wish me luck.

Thanks loco.
