Mario’s World

I know the title sounds a bit vulgar but its really funny! Was at McDonals (Shuwaikh Sultan Centre) for ice-cream Friday night and caught this on the way out. This cat must have been freezing. Right in front of the drive through window, this cat was warming up its backside on the halogen lights. And [...]

Saw this on Q8Weather [Link]. Get your raincoats out. Forecasts show very heavy rain possible for next week in Kuwait with a 30% chance of local flooding. Starting Saturday night, clouds will increase with rain eventually arriving sometime Sunday with the worst of the rainfall occurring Monday and Tuesday. Up to a total of 70mm [...]

Alshamel Travel in Kuwait got all their cars branded this week. Its strange caz just last week when I met with the Alshamel chaps in Dubai, I pointed out how nice it was that their cars were branded and strange the ones in Kuwait weren’t. Spoke too soon I guess. I like the branding on [...]

Of all the buildings I’ve seen, this was the best lit for Diwali in Kuwait. Its in Salmiya block 10 opposite the football ground. I think its called the Titanic complex? Was expecting Durar complex in Reggae to be lit up real nice but it didn’t beat this one. And the fireworks display at the [...]

May the festival of lights be a unique confluence of happiness, bliss and prosperity! Hope you enjoy the lights and sounds of this wondrous occasion. Wishing you a Happy Diwali!!!

Took this photo the night before at the Long Term parking lot at Kuwait Airport. I had parked next to this car 3 days before and it was exactly the same when I got back. Dust, graffiti, flat tires and a birds nest. Now that’s really long term parking. Fellow will most likely loose his [...]

About a week ago I posted about hacking traffic signs [Link]. Took this snap while driving to work. Is that a smiley? Hmmmm… I wonder who dun it

Seems Latina Mina was caught drunk on 99.7. [Link] I really like her afternoon show. The best among all the RJ’s on FM99.7. We were tuned in last night when some Lebanese DJ (very shy voice) was playing house music. She was pretty excited since he was a Doctor of sorts, and his triceps and [...]

I was pretty amused to see this cab in front of me. Taxi Alfares. In Kuwait my family name keeps getting spelt as Al-Fares or Al-Faris instead of Alvares. There is no “v” in Arabic. Guess I could call them up and say “I’m the Son of your Boss. I need a free ride.”

Was at Entertainment City this weekend. The last time I visited was about 15 years ago. Very little has changed. One of the most incredible rides is the Tornado. I don’t think I was totally prepared but I went on it anyway. The first bit, going up, is fun. Then it waits for like 15 [...]
