The Nokia netbooklet 3G is the neatest looking netbook I’ve seen. Its also the most expensive @ KWD 259/-.
BIM received this unit from Nokia for testing and review and I went over to check it out. It’s got an amazing 12 hour batter life, a sim card slot for 3G net access, its got built-in [...]
I came across this great website for comparing camera features. Snapsort allows you to pick two camera models and compare them feature wise. It also shows you the clear winner between them.
I just love the simplicity of the site. But although its very informative, some user / editor reviews on the same page would be [...]
We were at the 360 mall, checking out the food court when we noticed this restaurant and decided to give it a go. Supposedly its one of Lebanon’s finest restaurants.
The decor inside the restaurant is very nice. Its pretty spacious with large tables. The constant flow of water from their indoor waterfalls were a bit [...]
After all the hype with Best Electronics, Ro and I decided to drop in and check it out. I must say I was very disappointed. The only interesting section was a tiny display with solar powered cell phones and a netbook with a built-in touch screen track pad. Both were display-only items and not for [...]
Indian Delights is a relatively new eat-out in Salmiya. We noticed it a few times but all those lights hanging out put us off from entering every time we passed by!
Not this time though since it was pretty late and we were terribly hungry. First off, I must say that the decor is [...]
Its been a while since we ate at Pizza Express. In fact we had only eaten there once before when Amber introduced us to her favorite pizza place in Kuwait. Since we were at the Avenues and Ro was very hungry we decided to pop in for a quick meal.
As usual the food court by [...]
It’s been a while since we ate at Mughal Mahal. And I can’t recall ever eating at their Salmiya branch. I guess the main reason would be that you can hardly see the sign board since there are 3 more prominent ones nearby and the entrance is at the back of the building!
Anyway, we got [...]
Both Ro and I were in the mood for some Thai so we decided to drive down to Reggai to our favorite Thai food restaurant. Among all restaurants we have eaten at in Kuwait, this has the most homely feel. The staff are extremely sweet and warm to you and the fish in that big [...]
There is a relatively new website out there called Q8NRI.com [link]. Sonal the webmaster sent me a mail today introducing his site. Nice domain name and neat idea to have a dedicated forum for NRI’s in Kuwait. For those who don’t know, NRI stands for Non-Resident Indian. There are a couple of sites targetting Indians [...]
So you’ve been lugging 20 bags around the mall like a porter for your wife and the stomach is now blocking out all commands from the busy shopper. As you reach the food court the most prominent signboards are the Lebanse tree and Santoor. My stomach drags me towards a more Indianish Santoor but hold [...]
