Local Substations in Kuwait

There are many nicely decorated local substations, some with messages. This one was done by a local charity called Tawasul.

Local Substation

Heaven is under the feet of mothers

The Arabic text says, “Heaven is under the feet of mothers” This is a traditional Arabic saying.

Friends are like precious stones you should keep them

On this side of the building the text translates to “Friends are like precious stones you should keep them”. Another traditional saying.

Note that they have the GPS location embedded so you can see them on a map at Flickr or click here to go directly to the Flickr map.

Nasty Looking Bug

We had this in the house.

Bug in Kuwait

It looks like some kind of clone of a cockroach and a grasshopper. I don’t know if it is harmful in any way. Those are nasty looking spines on its back legs though.

Minor Injury

Stitches in Hand

She went first to the International Clinic which we are familiar with but they don’t do stitches. Then she went home. The next choice was to go to Ahmadi Hospital as it is covered and there is no up front payment to get reimbursed by insurance. But we figured enough time had gone by so the nearest hospital only five minutes away is London Hospital and they are a full hospital. So she went there but they are not set up for this kind of thing! She had it arrange but ended up going into the operating theatre for this minor repair!

Details of Stitches in Hand

This was from using an old broom with a metal handle covered in plastic. The metal was rusted under the plastic coating and broke exposing the jagged edge and making the cut. Fortunately the cut sewed together well. And, yes, she’s up to date with her tetanus shot.
