I found this advertising poster of the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development at Heathrow Airport. It definitely is an institution we should be proud of.

Respect: Sign language at the Super Bowl
February 5, 2013 1 Comment
John Maucere performed a sign langage translation of Alecia Keys’ national anthem show at yesterday’s SuperBowl. I don’t know if all this was sign language, but he sure added a lot of awe to the translation. Respect. And btw, he’s deaf too. So double Respect.
Forget about all the players, the commercials, the Beyoncé, because John Maucere is already the best part of the Super Bowl. Maucere was on hand to sign the songs “America, The Beautiful” and “The Star-Spangled Banner” with more emotion than Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, and the Sandy Hook Elementary School Choir, combined. With a flair for high-drama comedy that only a bona fide Steve Carrelldoppleganger could muster, Maucere ushered in the patriotic tunes with the bounce and beauty of a North Dakota-based community theater troupe. And it was glorious [link].
Bliss Spa Products now available in Kuwait

Bliss spa products and facial creams are now available in Kuwait, at Harvey Nichols Grand Avenue.
The size of the collection is good, I found many of the stuff I regularly use on a daily basis. I didn’t have the chance to check out the whole collection because I was in a hurry tonight. But there was one thing I didn’t like, and that’s the lack of a Bliss spa for facials and treatments.
Price wise, the collection seems to be priced more like London than the US (i.e. more expensive), but that’s OK. I love that we now have Bliss here, and we don’t have to worry about getting it from abroad.
Abdulla Bin Zayed launches Emirati house flag campaign فوق بيتنا علم
November 13, 2012 Leave a Comment
استبق سمو الشيخ عبدالله بن زايد آل نهيان وزير الخارجية، اعادة اطلاق حملة “فوق بيتنا علم” لمناسبة احتفالات الدولة في اليوم الوطني الـ41 بزيارة منزل المواطن حسن المزروعي صاحب فكرة الحملة التي أطلقت العام الماضي.
Sh. Abdulla Bin Zayed, UAE’s Foreign Secetary, launched a national campaign to raise the Emirati flag over houses, as part of its national Union Foundation celebrations on Dec. 2nd.
He began the campaign by visiting the house of an Emirati citizen who was originally behind this very patriotic idea last year.
This is a very lovely idea, an idea that promotes and instills a strong proud bond with one’s country.

Kuwait’s Stunning Golden Jubilee Monument النصب التذكاري لدستور الكويت
November 12, 2012 4 Comments
Chose HD for best pic vid quality.
Sh. Sabah Al-Ahmad, the Emir of Kuwait, unveiled tonight the new Golden Jubilee monument of Kuwait’s Constitution, located at Martyr’s Park in Kuwait City.
The monument is stunning, breathtaking, magnificent, world class, and 100% superb. We haven’t seen structures this amazing in Kuwait in a really long time. The only other thing I would compare this to is probably the opening of The Scientific Center some 20 years ago.
The monument is located at Martyr’s Park (also known as The Green Belt area), on both Soor Street and the 1st Ring Road, and directly across from the new huge Tijariya tower. The park is public and open to everyone for free, during opening hours of course.
The monument consists of two huge golden slates, located at the apex of a beautiful garden with colorful water fountains. It has several natural looking benches to sit on. I would suggest you visit the park evening time and onwards, to experience both the lights brightly lighting the monument and the colored light shadows on trees and plants.
Note: All pictures were taken with a samsung Galaxy note II. I am really impressed with this phone. Its camera and vid are both great for spontaneous shooting, especially for night time photography.
World’s greatest fireworks show ever – Pics from The Daily Mail
November 11, 2012 3 Comments
The Daily mail newspaper posted about Kuwait’s huge fireworks show last night [link 1 and link 2], the one that broke Guinness World Record for the largest number of firecrackers used in a single show. Their pictures are just stunning, they show a huge section of Kuwait City’s coastal road lit with bright dazzling fireworks.
For the paltry sum of just £10million Kuwait earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records last night as it celebrated the golden jubilee anniversary of its constitution in style by laying on the biggest fireworks display of all time.
A dazzling array of colours illuminated the skies above the country’s capital of Kuwait City as a staggering 77,282 fireworks were launched over the period of an hour.
A representative of Guinness World Records announced the achievement on Kuwait television at the end of the display which had been watched by tens of thousands of Kuwaitis and expatriates on the Arabian Gulf Road by the sea.
