Alshaya Recruitment Kiosk

In: Kuwait

I was quite amazed to see this recruitment kiosk outside one of Alshaya’s  outlets at the Avenues. It’s a great idea as such but the using it could get cumbersome for some.
The kiosk basically shows you a form from their recruitment portal. You need to fill it up. Then scan your resume onto the desktop. [...]

Was checking out Expedia’s Hotel Ranking page and Al Manshar Rotana in Fahaheel – Kuwait came up as the 4th best hotel in the world according to their users. Guess everyone loves their huge rooms and corridors.

There seems to be a massive fire at the Sawaber complex here in Sharq. For the last 45 mins, fire trucks, ambulances and police have been driving by.
Hope no one was hurt.

Porsche Gift Bag

In: Kuwait

Was at Souk Sharq for Lunch when I noticed this great looking display. A huge gift bag with a Porsche sticking out of it.

Grabbing the Sun

In: Kuwait

Looks like a hand pulling the sun away.

Beit Dickson – Salmiya

In: Food, Kuwait

This isn’t a food review. We were  passing by this place at mid-night when this fella dressed up in a tribal Arab uniform jumped in front of us and invited us in. The bait was free Kahwa (Arabian coffee). We just finish dinner so we decided to go in for some sweets and coffee. Unfortunately, [...]

Bayt.com Classifieds?

In: Kuwait, Work

Am I the only one who thinks this is a ridiculous idea …a job site with a classifieds section!!!
Can’t find a job? Why don’t you buy a wedding gown or a hummer instead.
This new section makes the site kinda “cheap” (for lack of a better word). Now potential employers will probably spend more [...]

Freak Storm Today

In: Kuwait

I was all set to drop Row off today morning when the early morning sunshine suddenly disappeared! At 8am today it turned from a sunny blue sky to a dark dark midnight sky. My initial thought was “how did the ash cloud from Europe reach here!” It got a bit windy too. And by the time [...]

New Zain Ads by the Airport

In: Fun Times, Kuwait

I like these new catchy “check list” ads by Zain at the airport.
Hotel Booked
Car Rented
Cash Exchanged
Roam with Zain
Good to Go

On the other hand, these ads make more sense only on the way to the airport, not on the way back from there. Most people would have already booked their hotel, car and picked up cash! [...]

InfoBiz Kuwait 2010

In: Kuwait, Technology

Well, I thought I already posted about this last week but since I didn’t, here it is.
The not-so-great InfoBiz exhibition took place last week. As usual, there were more cell phone companies than technology companies displaying their wares. And the most eye catching stand was the Wataniya one. They were probably the only ones who [...]
