We went to Marina Mall in the afternoon to enjoy the Harley-Davidson bike show, the weather was truly amazing.

There were dozens of sexy bikes with different colors and body designs, there were also local and regional bikers that came to show their bikes.

Seeing all those hot bikes made me want to get one and hit the road! I always loved Harley-Davidson bike but I need training and license.

I wonder how much these bikes cost but I’d guess something between 5,000KD-10,000KD or even higher.

I loved the bikes looked shiny and tough, the engine sounds were also hot, what I also like about Harley-Davidson bikes is that they are very customizable.

The show was cool by all means and thanks to KromOzone for sponsoring the show.

لا تزال مشكلة تدني نسب النجاح في اختبارات المرحلتين الثانوية والمتوسطة تثير جدل واسع في ارجاء الكويت فالكثير من الطلبة صرحوا بان الاختبارات كانت تعجيزية ولا تتلائم مع مستواهم بينما صرحت وزارة التربية والتعليم بان الامتحانات كانت طبيعية وعملية التصحيح سليمة وان الخلل ليس بالوزارة وانها تسعى لرفع مستوى التعليم في الكويت.ا

ويبقى السؤال: من هو المسؤول وماهي الحلول؟ا

I read on Al Anba paper that Kuwait has scored the 2nd place in Press Freedom for year 2011 among Arab countries according to Reporters Without Borders organization.

Also, Kuwait’s global ranking has improved from the 87th place (2010) to 78 place (2011), this is very good news and I hope our ranking improves even more in 2012.

I was having lunch at Elevation Burger today and they told me about this interesting idea; they will actually give a free meal to everyone that votes in Kuwait Parliament  elections on 2nd of February.

They say they are doing this to encourage people to vote and make difference, now this is an outside the box marketing, nice.

My buddy sent me photos showing that the shutting-down of Kuwait Virgin Megastore has already started, an employee told him that maybe they will re-open at the Avenues in the future.

Thanks [Hasan]

I saw this new animation for Sheikh Jaber Al Sabah causeway (Sabiya bidge) and shows the concept design from Saudi group, Bin Laden, that will be implemented by Korean contractor Hyundai.

During my work at Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) I learned that the implementation of this project is not easy especially considering the marine environment. 

I recall the budget was approved by government in 2010, but actual works did not yet start. The bridge will extend for 37.5 KM (Route 1B) and will connect Kuwait city (Ghazali street) to Sabiya and there will be two artificial islands with restaurants, shopping stores, and gas station.

I was at Eureka Salmiyah earlier today and saw they just released a pink colored Samsung Galaxy SII, I asked them about the price they said 179 KD.

It looked girlish and cute, finally we have new colors other than black and white.

Our friend Hamed Al Saleem shared with us a video of him trying to challenge the Audi R8 as in drag races, this may sound totally absurd for some people but it demonstrates that ambition has no limits.

Thanks Hamed and we wish you all the best!

I took some night snapshots for the newer buildings at Kuwait City with their beautiful LED lighting. The buildings that I like most at night are The Tijaria, Al Hamra, Al Raya II, and the one above (Not sure about the name).

I was at Dar Al Awadi today and saw that a new branch of the store “Estyley” that sells Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F), Toms shoes, and Swims has just opened.

First thing I asked the owner “Is your stuff original?” , he smiled and assured to me that they are authentic and that he ships them from the states.

They had a collection of T-Shirts, trainings, hoodies, shoes, cologne, swim shorts, sandals with many colors and sizes for both genders.

They also had Toms shoes, nice. I spoke with the owner and he said he brings new stuff every month, I recall they had another store at Free Trade Zone but they said they closed it temporarily.

Address: Dar Al Awadi – Sharq.

Phone: 66224492
