  • Wet Traffic Circles

    Another thing to watch out for. As if it doesn’t just take eyes in the back of your head. One of the traffic circles that I often pass by gets lots of water splashed on the road by the water tankers which spill while breaking and turning into the circle.

    And on the roads here, even though it rained recently, any water on the road turns the film of dust etc. on the road to being more slippery than ice.

  • Lunch at Kei Japanese Restaurant in JW Marriot

    Lunch Special Bento Box 6 KD
    With miso soup, potatoe salad, tempeh fish, cucumber rolls, 6 pieces sushi and fruit salad

    Verdict: Not bad, could have been more sashimi. Cucumber rolls are a waste. Fruit salad is dumb.

  • Near perfect dog free to a very good home

    As implied by the postings on this blog to date we are moving to Kuwait where she won’t get the cool weather and exercise that she deserves.

    Cleo is a Border Collie Lab cross.

    We would like to give her away to a good family as it would be better for her in the temperate climate of Canada then in Kuwait with the heat.

  • And a Movie

    FlightplanThen the movie, cost 2.5 KD ($10 CAD) and got oversalted (with that fake flavor salt) popcorn to eat with a Pepsi.

    The movie, Flightplan was quite good. A few unbelievable stretches of reality but the overall plot had some good twists. Here’s an overview on IMDB, but if you read the reviews they’ll spoil it or you.

  • Dinner

    Tried a new restaurant, Lebanese on the water at the Al-Kout mall. Boy you pay a lot for the decor. But the food was nothing special.

    My mouth is watering. Above we have, in clockwise order: a plate of kababs, hommos, a kabob sandwich, fresh pita bread and tabouleh. Photo from the Kabab-ji site.Kabob-ji is still is the best. They make fresh pita bread and that makes the day. Check out their web site, they have a neat Flash screen.
