City Center Salmiya a circus of parking chaos, douchebags,and racist workers

City Center Salmiya truly qualifies as the center of Salmiya given the location and all-in-one shopping experience. But lately the whole place has turned into a circus. To begin with, the first kick in the guts is the over-extended queues of cars waiting to get hold of a parking spot. The drivers tend to leave [...]

Dodge Chargers…chargin down Gulf Road

Caught a glimpse of around 6-8 Dodge Chargers cruising down the Gulf Road today at around 3:30pm in all their glory. Seemed like promo ride…or might as well be a Charger club.

Winter hob nob in The Avenues

Avenues a great place to drop by in case you are fed up of shivering in cold, cursing nature for the chill in your bones, heaters and rolling in quilts. Tons of people, great food, socializing, and ofcourse an opportunity to catch in on discounts and deals are on offer. Good ones to check out [...]

Old time joints in Salmiya gone in one shot

This corner of Salmiya market where joints like oldie Hungry Bunny existed..and more recently Chicken Tikka, KFC, and Baskin Robins did business, is now gone. Seems like they are demolishing the structure. This is right opposite the Al-Ghanem Store in Salmiya market. Golden memories…

Kurdo: Lifesaver at 4pm

Haven’t seen many rather any shewerma joints offering well done shewermas as early as 4pm and especially in cold chilling winter days. Kurdo has been a lifesaver today when the temperatures were hovering near zero that too at mid-day. Great taste, lot of variations, middle of shopping area, easy accessibility, and fast service makes it [...]

I want this: TV-B-Gone…ultra cool gizmo for NO Plasma/LCD display

This device works on displays from North America and Asia and on following [...]

The cabbie was a-ok to compare Kuwait to London when he poured in all the chillness of last couple of days about how it went below zero [...]

Baroue: An extravagance for kids

While at Avenues, we decided to drop by at the Baroue outlet. Had to check it out after hearing all about its exorbitant price tags. And trust me I was taken aback when cruising through the outlet got glimpses of shirts for new born kids priced at KD 22.000! There were sweat shirts for [...]
