I like these traditional Kuwaiti mud walls / gates. Souk Sharq put these up for Hala February. And no, they are not made from mud, they just look like it. Can see the changing skyline of Kuwait in the background.

At first glance, these look like bags of weed. Saw them at the top of the rack at Sultan center. No! its not weed, this is Kuwait. They are bags of Egyptian Molokhiya.  “Molokhiya (or Melokhiya) is a vegetable native to Egypt, very popular in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean regions. It has also become very [...]

Lets see if I understand these symbols correctly: 1) No marching with roller skates on and a muffler/shawl round your neck. 2) No threesomes. 3) No wolf/wild animal allowed in 4) Don’t use bicycles with two seats and no handlebar. 5) Don’t stand on the trolleys  6) No smoking.

If you happen to be on the Shuhada Street near the Array Center, don’t get alarmed when you see this. I thought it was some kind of prank initially or someone playing around with a fogged window pane. Its the logo for Genki Sushi. Haven’t tried their sushi yet, but their advertising is pretty good.

I’m quite sure “Red tag” has been used by a lotta other companies. What I don’t understand is the Apple. “Red Hot” and Apple don’t go together! By the way, they have a great sale going on now.

The cat is out of the box. Now we know why everybody gets along so well with the Philipinoes. Was at Jarir yesterday and look what I found. Just in case you didn’t know, Tagalog is the language spoken in the Philipines. An interesting thing I noticed is… “Hindi” means No. Hindi mean Indian in [...]
