They kept an ostrich on the farm. It was not a Western style farm, nor an Eastern style farm for that matter. In fact, it was not really a farm but a walled weekend home in the desert. It was nothing fancy, certainly not luxurious by modern Kuwaiti standards. But it had all modern day [...]

My hubby dragged me to Burj Jassim… we got into an elevator that went WAAAY up… and it opened into an amazing discovery “Bo-Meziane”!
It is this new (ok newish, think 2008) and secluded Moroccan restaurant that has a modern exterior and a breathtaking view of Kuwait City! I would love to go back one day in [...]

I was really pleased to hear an interview early this morning on KTV1 with a member of the Kuwait Dive Team (I think it was Waleed Al-Fadhel) who spoke at length about the recent clean up operation in the Niqa’at Shamlan or the docking area near Souq Sharq market which is evidently full of sunken [...]

Sounds reasonable.
From the Arab Times site:

New Kuwait private sector labor law detailed Following is the full text of the Kuwait Labor Law for the private sector which was passed by the National Assembly recently. The law has still to be approved by the Kuwait Cabinet before it is sent to HH the Amir for his [...]

Member of parliament Hayef Al-Mutairi expressed his astonishment that his “pro-women” proposal was turned down by women MP’s in a parliamentary committee.
His  proposal would  entitle women who chose to stay at home and be homemakers to a monthly salary of 250 KD. In other words, a woman who stayed at home to look after her [...]

Movie? Amazing! I want that Jelly Fish Thing to play with! IMAX 3D? How movies must be watched. Kid sprawled on the floor next to me screaming and playing loudly out of boredom?

There has been lots of discussion and speculation about the horrific tragedy in Kuwait a few days ago in which scores of women and children died and suffered from very serious burns. (Link)
Today, there are new developments to the story. The daily Kuwaiti Alqabas  newspaper published the detailed confession of the woman responsible for setting [...]

Perusing the Kuwaiti newspapers, I came across an amusing little bit in the crime section.
An Egyptian man living in Kuwait went to the airport to meet his new bride who was arriving from Egypt.
Instead of just receiving her and then partying later on, he decided to take a troupe of friends with their musical instruments [...]

Do I enjoy going to wedding parties? Sometimes.
My enjoyment depends on several factors I suppose. The main factor is whether or not I am in the mood. If I am in the mood, this is enhanced by a luxurious trip to the salon where I am pampered, primped, and prepared for the event. Most women [...]

My 2020 Kuwaiti vision (incomplete version):
1) Houses that can be completely submerged underground in the event of adverse weather conditions such as sandstorms or simply horrid dusty weather
2) A complete changeover to solar energy by the domestic sector
3) All residences and businesses must have covered and protected parking to minimize exposure of our cars to [...]

It’s not often Kuwaitis get to see the insight of other nationalities in Kuwait. It is interesting to read about their perceptions and what me may think of as misconceptions about our culture.
I don’t have permission to reproduce the article herein but I will keep it here for a while just in case I cannot [...]

For a while now I have been struck by an extremely annoying trend and that is the peppering of our Kuwaiti dialect with English words in a completely unnecessary manner. You either speak English or Arabic.
It bothers me that this style has invaded the media as well, in both radio and television stations.
You may not [...]

Everyone is passionate about something. Everyone’s world revolves around the things they are passionate about.I’ve been doing volunteer work since I was six years old. Yup. Six. It was in 1994 and I’ve loved volunteer work ever since. It gives me this …

Well, well, well…
The truth is out about us ladies at last!
Wealthy Men Give Women More Orgasms…
The latest study reveals that women with wealthy partners had more orgasms during sex than others.
Maybe that is why the price of dowries in Kuwait has skyrocketed and men are  reportedly miffed with females whose families ask for a very [...]

It was 18 years ago today when you walked in to my room and said: “It has started.”
You were referring to the start of the aerial strikes in Operation Desert Storm against targets in Kuwait and Iraq on January 17th 1991.
Neither of us were happy as we exchanged blank looks. War is destructive. The anxiety [...]

I like this word:   Sorceress!
I am astounded:   She says she has earned 85,000 KD through black magic!
(And I am increasingly thinking that a university degree does not always guarantee you a hefty salary…it must be how resourceful a person is)
I wonder:  Why do female university students go to a sorceress?
I think:   that the policemen who [...]
