This is in the Fintas Coop which has a fancy spiral ramp to go up to the main coop grocery area. I was there to get money from the NBK bank machine which is inside the coop mall.

Tonight was sushi at Sakura. Here’s the appetiser, miso soup.

They don’t have the cheapest or the widest selection of produce in the Al Kout one but I didn’t want to take more time to go anywhere else.

On arrival in Kuwait you are given a card on the plane that you must take to a clinic within 72 hours to get checked if you have any symptoms. I went there with our Mandoup and they asked if I feel anything and I said no. They took the form and that was that. That was what I had to do as I arrived on Saturday. Sometimes they take the card at the airport while stamping your passport at the immigration desk and you don’t need to go to a clinic as happened to someone I know today.

It is impressive how the driver’s space is maintained even in a horrible crash. I have no idea how the driver made out. There are many deaths on the roads here.

Parking can be difficult underground if you go in prime time. We came before 9:00 am on a Saturday and it was easy to park. Most of the shops don’t open until 10:00 am but it was nice to be in a big empty mall with the mall walkers. You can easily walk two or three km just going end to end.
The stores were opening up, even the Gap.
