  • City Snooty Shop in Fintas

    City Snooty

    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.

    Click here to see it on a Google Map. For some reason I can’t embed this map into a blog post?!

  • Shopping day today at the Sultan Centre

    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.
