what is the best site to buy Clomiphene tnpoah

While I was walking on foot after parking my car to get into Tijariya tower under the scorching June summer sun, I passed by a very spooky and run down building that looks like it was a hospital. I thought this might be the infamous old Amiri hospital where numerous photographers had taken gorgeous yet sad pictures inside, but I’m not 100% sure since there is another site overlooking Gulf Road that I always thought was the Amiri Hospital.

Picture of the Week: The Old Box

By | September 17, 2012

Old traditional Kuwaiti boxes like the one above come in a variety of sizes and designs. I realized recently that I have a few of this box too many. I wonder what am supposed to hide inside them though. Then it got me wondering: what did Kuwaitis use them for in the olden days? Cooking? The one with the latch doesn’t look like a cooking type of box.

Any ideas?

Guess who performed in Kuwait in 1977?

By | June 29, 2011

Yesterday I was in 360 Cinescape when I saw an exhibition of the Cinema’s History and artifacts in Kuwait. It is so worth a visit and I enjoyed it very much. What caught my attention however is the stars who once sang in cinema Al Andalus. I knew Abdul halim, fairuz,om Kalthom sang there in the golden ages of Kuwait. I didn’t know that bands like Boney M did too! O someone who looks like the Opera’s Pavarotti but I am not sure and that guy who screams in Rocky Movie and sings living in America -dunno his name-!

I am trying to imagine Kuwaiti men i the 70’s, big hair or long hair with Charleston trousers filing in to Al Andalus cinema and dancing to Daddy Cool and No Woman No Cry! What happened? Why do we have to board a plane to Dubai and Abu Dhabi to listen to good music? In the SIXTIES and SEVENTIES of the past CENTURY we had bands playing in our country… why can’t we have the same in the 2nd decade of the 21st century? He who wants to listen can go listen, he who doesn’t want to can stay at home. Live and let live!

I want to see Ballet, Swan Lake, Lord of the Dance, Opera, Fairuz, something… anything in my own country. It’s not my fault I was born too late in the 80’s y3ni!

What are you doing this weekend? Nothing new? Same old same old? I have got just the place for you!

Earlier this week my husband was telling me about a newly opened historical cars museum in Q8 and insisted that we pass by.

Little did i know that i would be blown away by those cars… Read more »

Things 2 Do in London: The Sherlock Holmes Museum

By | July 4, 2010

If you are a fan of Shelock Holmes, you will for sure know that he lived in 221b Baker Street, London. One day i wondered if the address does exist so i set about walking and checking the house numbers.. to my surprise, not only does 221b exists, but it had a sign stating that it’s the Sherlock Holmes museum!

I wasted no time going inside and checking the place out. The place is tiny but it has one amazing room after the other filled with artefacts that should belong to Sherlock Holmes! They say that the rooms were designed to look exactly as described in the books written by the author Arthur Conan Doyle!

A must visit for every Sherlock Holmes & History fan. Just don’t go in a big group of people as the place is tiny! I bought a collection of Sherlock Holmes novels from the gift shop which is amazing too…

By | June 15, 2010

Don’t run away at the mention of the word museum… for this is no ordinary one! It’s not old and stuffy and boring at all! I <3 all kinds of Museums  and i usually go alone because no one i know would swap a day of shopping for a day of culture… But if you love shopping you will definitely love V&A! Why?

There is this room… the Fashion Room… that holds an amazing collection of fashionable Read more »
