بتقنية التايم لابس او «الفاصل الزمني» وبمناسبة الأعياد الوطنية انتشر على المدونات ومواقع التواصل الاجتماعي ڤيديو قصير تحت عنوان «الكويت فقط» من تصوير داود العلي وهو عبارة عن لقطات متميزة للكويت تم تصويرها في أبراج الكويت والمنطقة الحرة ومجمع مارينا مول وغيرها من الأماكن السياحية في الكويت.
Thanks RS for the post.

Update: When I said paintings, I didn’t mean oil and water color ones. These are digitally designed posters of art. Sorry for the confusion.
This selection of interesting paintings are done by a local Kuwaiti artist, named Ahmad Al-Ghanim. I found them at Thouq Shop in Mubarakiya area.
There’s a semi-big selection of medium and large paintings, all following the same amusing and witty vibrant-colored theme. My personal favorites are the Sheishaman, UmKalthoum, and the Kaifi painting. Prices are from KD 45-70, for the med and large ones respectively; and they’re come sold with thick frames.
The shop is filled with many other cute things, like locally designed T-shirts and sweatpants, bracelets, ashtrays, mugs, and some cool traditional Kuwaiti books. I’ll post about them soon.
You can find the shop in Mubarakiya area, in a tiny alley between the big and white Kuwait RE parking building and Sarareef St.
Thouq is widely known, and you should check out their online men style magazine. The shop itself is new, and was just recently opened a few days ago. You can also check them out on Twitter or Instagram for more details, or call on Tel. 65656560.

I’m in Dubai for a couple of nights, I decided to stay in the newly opened Fairmont resort in Palm Jumeirah. The hotel is brand new, like it just opened 2 nights ago. The “Fairmont The Palm” is owned by the Kuwaiti group IFA, and it is a grand and magnificent resort. They did very good with it. However, it’s still not all complete. Only the 1st and 2nd floors are ready so far, with the 3rd and 4th opening very soon. The rest is still under final finishing.
So far, there are 4 restaurants: seafood, Brazilian, Intetnational, and the lobby; all fully licensed. The lobby and one of the restaurants have huge outdoor seating, surrounded by beautiful Islamic light lanterns and lush green scenery.
My room has a balcony, facing the sea and Jumeirah’s Za3beel Resort. The view from it is breathtaking, day or night. I’ve only got a table and a couple of chairs in it, but it would fit a few sun decks if I wanted. In fact, the suites and some of the other rooms do have chaise lounges in their balconies.
I posted a few pictures today, till I get a chance to post something proper.

The Co-Op union is in dispute with KDD again, and has banned some or all of its products. KDD replied back that it hasn’t increased its prices in 5 years.
I’m not sure who’s right here. KDD is a large corporation and it wouldn’t be making such a statement if it wasn’t true. Besides, the co-op union has no right to ban products from consumers. Let the consumer decide what price they feel OK with.
In any case, there’s a bunch of other places that sell KDD products, like TSC and LuLu Hyper. Check the above ad for the list. In addition, you can order what you want from their free home delivery service via Tel. #1802277.

Mo2armisha shawarma shop is an exclusive shawarma and sandwich, located both in Al-She3eb and in Mahboula. The shop is famous for their shawarmas, but they also offer several other kinds of sandwiches like Hallum and Moshakal. Plus, they sell several side orders like fried shrimp and jalapeno poppers.
Our bill was KD 3.900, and that was for 5 shawarmas and 4 chili chutneys. Their prices are a little more expensive than other places (like jam3iya and small joints), but that’s OK. The sandwiches are filled to the rim with meat, the sauces are unique, and the place is owned by The Sultan Center. All are good reasons to be more expensive.
They open from 1 p.m., but the Shawarmas are not usually ready till 1.30- 2, so you better call ahead to make sure. Also, if you’re going after 9 pm or on weekends, it’s also good to call to make sure they have shawarmas.
They have two branches: She3eb (Darwish Al-Aradi street, just behind Flex Executive Gym) and Mahboula. Their phone numbers are 2261-5234 and 2371-2580.

I went to Marina Crescent his morning to have breakfast outside and enjoy the great cool weather. We were there early, around 7.30, but the place was already packed. It turned out there was a charity run there this morning: The Kuwait Charity Run Half Marathon.
The race is for men, women, and older children. It consists of two distances, a 10 K (from Marina to the Green Island and back) and a 21 K (from Marina to Kuwait Towers and back). There were a lot of people, I think around a 1,000 registered for the race. All charity proceeds goes to Pumps4Kids diabetes charity.
I know I should’ve known about this race, but honestly, I’ve been sick for a week now, so wasn’t that up to date with local events.
They started the pre-race with an open group warmup that looked like loads of fun. The whole event looked awesome, and I’m sure everyone had a great time, wether they won or not.
These are some pics that I took with my Galaxy Note II.

KDD’s latest products are hummus and baba ghanouj, which is awesome and will go super well with Americana’s 3arayes I posted about the other day. I just love how our oldest Kuwaiti companies are renewing and expanding their products.
