I was reading about a pretty funky gadget and Googled to see if it was available here when I stumbled upon a cool Kuwaiti on-line retailer called Polkalicious. It markets itself as ” Kuwait ’s First Non-Specialty On-line Store” and although Polkalicious didn’t actually have the gadget I was looking for it does have [...]
As the weekend’s here and the weather is still really good, I wanted to tell you about one of my favourite Lebanese restaurant in Kuwait called Al-Sakhra. If you don’t know where it is you’ve probably passed it loads of times without even realising. Its at one end of the row of coffee shops (Classical, [...]
I was checking out the electronics in Carrefour last weekend and spotted this cool device in the aisle where they keep the USB hard drives. The Western Digital TV HD Media Player allows your USB hard drives to instantly become multimedia players by easily connecting them to your TV.
So basically any movies, TV shows, photos [...]
Based on personal experience, I got to say that Lay’s Stax (pictured above) have got to be the most addictive crisps (or potato chips as they’re called in the States) out there. They are just unbelievably good that once they’re opened they’ll be finished in no time. They come come in a few flavours but [...]
I’ve made it a habit that when I’m traveling to a country where I’ll be staying for more than a few days I buy a local pre-paid sim card for my mobile phone. It works out a LOT cheaper than roaming. In the UK I use Orange because the number remains valid for 6 months [...]
With all the newspapers that have sprouted up here in the last couple of years I’d be amazed if anyone has time to go through them all. Even if you did have time, you would need a trolley to carry them all with you. And anyway let’s face it, some of us only have time [...]
Its just over 3 months since Viva started fully operating in Kuwait and I’m wondering if its going as well as it should be. When Viva first announced its launch I have to admit they really put on a good campaign. Newspaper and billboard adverts were everywhere - we all knew about it. But the [...]
The first Cinemagic event I attended was a documentary called Man on Wire. An amazing true story about how in the 70s Frenchman Philippe Petit managed to do a tightrope walk between the Twin Towers in New York. I never knew about this but apparently it was a huge thing at the time. The entertaining interviews with the actual [...]
I haven’t been to the cinema for months here in Kuwait. The main reason is that there hasn’t really been anything on but also you need to be lucky not to have someone behind you talking all the way through (either with the person next to him/her or on the phone!!) which really bugs me. My theory is that [...]
