Bad Smell Outside

By on October 24, 2009 in Kuwait

It was smelly outside and it was permeating the house and making my throat sore. It is either the refinery or from sewage due to the failed Mishref sewage treatment plant. And it looks like we might get rain!

I put a larger one here on flickr. Taken around 6:10 p.m. when it is now almost totally dark. Very nice weather warm and humid with a nice breeze.

Let’s debate the theology of the burka

By on October 14, 2009 in Islam, Kuwait

Farzana Hassan of the Calgary Herald was inspired by a phone debate on a Montreal-based radio station to investigate the theology of the burka and whether the Qur’an mandates it.

Another Wreck on the Roads of Kuwait

By on October 10, 2009 in driving, Kuwait

I don’t know how this happened. But very often people cut in at the last second to make a turnoff and it is scary how close they come to crashing. Sad thing is you can see a baby stroller in the trunk. I hope a child wasn’t in the vehicle at the time of the [...]

By on October 8, 2009 in Kuwait

This post was triggered after I watched a feature on new movies on CNN in the gym last Sunday. I can’t find any reference to it on the CNN website though. They had a feature on the new movie Amreeka (how America is said in Arabic). It is a new award winning comedy about a [...]

Soapy Football

Car on it’s side

By on September 29, 2009 in driving, Kuwait

You can click here to see on Google Maps where it occurred. Driving here just wears you down. There are so many selfish, aggressive, non-attentive, distracted, dangerous drivers. You cannot make even the shortest journey without having to avoid at least one idiot hauling up to your rear bumper and flashing lights to pass or [...]

Fintas Take Away Chicken Restaurant

By on September 25, 2009 in Food, Kuwait

The chicken is quite tasty. It tastes better than the chicken from the Sultan Centre but the Sultan Centre chicken is a bit cheaper at 1 KD. And the staff is very friendly. If you want to see where the place is on a Google Map click here.

Indian Bananas in Kuwait

By on September 23, 2009 in Food, Kuwait

These bananas are available in the Sultan Centre and are not too ripe. They must be in season now in India. I’ve had these in south India and they are delicious. You don’t know what a banana should taste like if you haven’t had these. In fact, the regular commercial bananas have been the Cavendish [...]
