Dinner at Heritage Souk Revisited

By Ian on September 28, 2008 in Food, Kuwait

This is what the dinner looked like

Here’s the view from the outside of the shop

And here’s the menu, which we didn’t use. We ordered simply, kebobs chicken and beef, hummous and salad plus Diet Pepsi.

The bread was very tasty.

Full set of photos here.

Entics at Heritage Souk

By Ian on September 28, 2008 in Kuwait

The souk is busy at night, particularly during weekends and Ramadan.

Click here for a few more photos of the souk. I think it deems a few more photo trips. They are not used to cameras there. And their spelling of antiques is not correct also.

Or women.

Kuwait Ice Rink

By Ian on September 27, 2008 in Kuwait, Recreation

You have to spectate from the McDonalds through two layers of glass but there are some amazing skaters. Very fluid, and risk taking to show off their skills but at least they are not on the roads driving cars!

And here’s a video from successive still frames.

Dinner at Heritage Souk

By Ian on September 27, 2008 in Uncategorized

We went to the ice rink dropping our daughter off for skating with her friends and then went to the Heritage Souk for dinner at a small and inexpensive Arab restaurant. Lots of simple kebobs, bread and salad for a total of 3 KD only (about $12). I was allowed to take my camera along with tripod for the journe. We did some sightseeing in the souk and had a bit of a walk to parking as it was very busy being Friday night. I saw this image of a mosque minaret and Liberation Tower on the way back to the parking lot.

Flashlight assisted photograpy

I am thinking of doing some of this using my diving lights. They are LED with good beams. If the small one works, I’ll travel with it

Supposition: why multiple intelligence theory can be vital for a happy marriage « 1000petals

Multiple intelligence is an interesting take on people’s strengths, and interactions. Applies to marriage and work. Another fascinating way to look at things. You can also look into emotional intelligence and extend that to this.
