One thing i love most about London is the vast amount of interesting exhibitions they have year round!

The British Mesuem! [...]

On my last day in London I planned to meet with FourMe for a good bye chat in the evening. We decided to meet in Carnaby Street since both of us were in that area… I knew of a small tea house in Kingsly Court, a favorite shopping place of mine in Carnaby Street that [...]

Last night’s dinner was an excitingly remarkable one in Saso Ocean Groove. I recieved a very generous invitation from the owner Mr. Anwar Maarafi to try their Ocean Groove and since it’s the perfect time of the year to sit outside in a trendy new restaurant surrounded by the sea… we thought “why not?”… this [...]

What i love about the arrival of winter time in Q8 is the drive to the free trade zone… i would buy myself a yummy drink, go to where the flamingoes are, roll down the window and stare at them, listen to them chirp or tweet or whatever sound they make… I always fail to [...]

The first thing i had on my agenda when i visit Dubai is trying out Carluccio’s! I am a HUGE fan of the place (check my previous post here)… i wanted to know how the Dubai branch would compare to the UK ones…  and my husband wanted to try meat dishes for a change… First [...]

When it’s time for Eid breakfast, or if we were having a light lunch or dinner… a lovely light choice would always be to pass by the nearest Co-Op branch and to grab a white plastic box of Nakhi, Bajela, Harees, or Ash… My all time favorite is the Nakhi. I could eat a box [...]

Here is one thing you would happily and gladly find in London… if you are into knitting, or like me just started knitting, you should head to John Lewis and go wild in their knitting supplies section! A lovely gift for a Knitting person -or a mother,aunt, or grandmother- is the Rowan Knitting Kit show [...]

If you frequent the UK often… you would recognize Café Rouge. There is one branch of Café Rouge in particular that is a favorite of mine… I remember the day i took those pictures… cold chilling breeze blowing from every direction… the sun playing hide and seek with the clouds… sporadically sending some warmth in our direction… [...]

Do you love Mexican Food? Then you will love absolutely LOVE Wahaca! One of the sad things about the Q8y culinary scene is the lack of a good wholesome Mexcian restaurant. If you are a fan of Mexican food, i highly recommend you try this restaurant the next time you are in London! Seeing that [...]

Every time i open the TV in London i find some ad about a new range of mini dessert pots… the ad is so lovely and summery with bubbles and lots of happy faces, it made me go and check out the new summer mini dessert cups @ M&S To my surprise all the mini [...]

No one likes the flu! It ruins your plans, wastes precious days off your life, you feel horrible, and you suffer the aftermath of flaked nose and a strong couch FOREVER…!
Every year i get the flu 60 times… every month i must have the flu, be it summer or winter, spring or fall, i must [...]

It’s the Weekend! So time for some happy nostalgia! Ever since i could remember… whenever it was time for the Food Exhibition at Mishref… it meant we had to go look at those little chicks (ketakeet in q8y) and marvel at their cuteness… then my siblings & my cousins would get a box each and i [...]

With the first drop of rain every sandy corner in Q8 suddenly wears a cloak of green dotted with yellow! Look closely and you see a scrawny little yellow flower we call Nowwair! Don’t be fooled by it’s size…  it grows wherever it feels like… under the pavement near traffic lights, under the bricks on [...]

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 [...]

When we were children in the early 80’s, dad owned a beautiful Canon A-1 camera and he used to take AMAZING shots with it… he had lenses and stuff and we were always mesmerized by his equipment… It was even used by a q8y man during the 1990 invasion to shoot some of the photos [...]
