Strange Happenings in Kuwait

I love the “Kuwait Crime” section of the Arab Times.  Alot of the crimes make me laugh.  Some of them are just sad, and others are fairly ridiculous.  I wish I could find the link to the account of arresting someone for practicing black magic.  Anyway, here are two incidents…
A democratic monarchy with no real [...]

Does the Kindle Work in Kuwait?

Has anyone seen a working Kindle in Kuwait, as in dowloading everything over the air and all that good jazz?  The choices of magazines and books here kinda suck, and I was thinking of getting the Kindle to read the books I purchase.  I tend to get my books from Amazon anyway.  Magazine subscriptions rock [...]

Colleges With Biology Majors in Kuwait?

There has to be some college with some sort of curriculum with a medical type of focus around here.  Any suggestions for colleges with some sort of medical/biology major, besides KU (if it even has one)?  Looking for a college Lana can get into.  Prices and locations doesn’t matter, as long as it is in [...]

Tea, Tea, Tea!

I am a tea… dare I say it…. fanatic… I love tea!  I really do.  It’s safer and healthier than soda, contains mostly water, and it tastes AWESOME!  I recently went to amazon.com and purchased some random tea goodness from China Mist and Culinary Teas.
From China Mist I got the sampler pack, which contains 2 [...]

Commissions on Apartment Rentals

Thanks to some lovely comments I have found several sources to finding apartments, in addition to what I already knew.  The one question I still have is this:

Lost!

No, not the TV series! My wedding ring!  I can swear I had it on yesterday in the car on the way home from work, and between the car and the apartment it was lost.  It could have came off earlier… I don’t really know.  Nice way to overshadow your 3-month anniversary huh?  Anyway, bad [...]

Happy Anniversary!

Not one year yet, but it has been three months.  Tomorrow will officially be one more day then her dad said it could ever last.

I love you Lana!

Marriage Annulled; Wife Lied About Virginity

Muslim couple in France.  The wife lied about being a virgin.  Is Islam spreading?  Is religion taking more of a hold in a court of law?  This is simple…
The lady LIED about being a virgin.  Plain and simple.  It is a case of “chastity fraud,” to borrow a term from the article.  Religion and country [...]
