Next Five Days
No sunshine photo this morning; I slept a little late. While yesterday and today are gorgeous, AdventureMan and I are stuffed up and sneezy – go figure. We got throught the dust, and when the sky is crystal clear, we get allergies?
We have some hot hot hot temperatures coming – isn’t this a little early for temperatures this warm?
Masks: Quote from AWAD
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth. -Oscar Wilde, writer (1854-1900)
Interesting thought, especially to those of us who are hiding behind a mask of anonymity. What do you think? Are we more free to tell the truth when we blog anonymously? Do we tell the truth? Or does anonymity encourage us to stretch the truth? embellish the truth? strain the truth?
Hmmmmmmm. What do you think?
WooHOO Mathai, Newest Entrant in The Great Kuwait National Holiday Challenge
Wow. Mathai, you captured the magic of the holiday lights, and the sheer joy of being outside in this wonderful weather of Kuwait-in-“winter”.
Gorgeous!
For the Record: Sunrise 3 March 09
It’s cold. It’s warm. It’s chilly. It’s hot. There is wind and cloud and clear sky today, and one of those days, sigh, when it’s good to carry a couple extra layers.
Woo HOOO, Q8Dutchie: The Great Kuwait National Holiday Challenge
Don’t you love it? All these different view, what the eyes are seeing? People around the world who have never been here are catching a glimpse of the two day – and in this case, because it was added on to a week-end, a four-day extravaganza of a holiday, for Kuwait National Day and Kuwait Liberation Day.
Thank you, Q8Dutchie, for sharing your eyes with us!
The best photo of all I can’t share – Q8Dutchie’s child, covered head to toe with foam, eyes gleaming and grinning from ear to ear/ 🙂
Brrrrrrrrrr Sunrise March 2, 2009
My windows are so filthy my camera can’t focus on the sun, but only on the grimy streaks on the window, and I have to go out on the cold, very windy balcony to capture the grim haziness of this morning’s sunrise. I do it for you.
WeatherUnderground seems to think we will have cooler days for the next couple days – feels like it to me.
Have a great day, Kuwait
Mubarakiyya Glimpses and Public Art
Every time I go to Mubarakiyya, I see something I haven’t seen before. We found some scenes in the meat market – see if you can find them.
Recycle in Kuwait
This just made my heart flutter. Eshda3wa had mentioned I needed to visit Al Ahmadi to see the lights, and she was right. I had so much fun; all of Kuwait should decorate the way Ahmadi decorates – lights everywhere!
But here is what made my heart truly flutter:
Recycle Bins! In Kuwait!
“When they first brought them,” my friend told me, “I thought ‘oh yeah, Kuwait, well maybe it will work for a week or two’ and so we gathered up EVERYTHING in the house and loaded the bins so we could get rid of them, but actually, they have been picking up regularly, right on schedule.”
WOW.
I have heard there is a new recycle company that will pick up for free. Who are they? How do we contact them?
Update June 2011 – two new options listed in the comments section, companies providing recycle services in Kuwait. 🙂
Ansam Enters The Great Kuwait National Holiday Challenge
Woo HOOO on you, Ansam! Thank you for some truly fresh perspectives on Kuwait National Day and Liberation Day:
When I first saw this one, I thought it was the roller-coaster ride in that little park by Jarir Bookstore:
I love this one; it is the draped flag in the middle that captures my heart:
True Kuwait Magic – sushi in the shape of the Kuwait Flag:
Just awesome:
