Free-weight Equipment in Kuwait
My wife and I have recently found a new place to stay, and with one of the extra bedrooms we are going to make a home gym. I went out looking for something pretty specific: a weight bench. That is all I was looking for. I was shocked to find that at several locations, one […]
Exotic Pets in Kuwait?
A friend of mine at work started laughing hysterically (did I spell that right?) out of nowhere today. Looking over I saw why. Unfortunately, it is a sad and funny reason. There is a website, which I will not disclose even though I am sure it has made it to multiple sites, where you can […]
And The Search Continues
It’s only been a couple of weeks in the new apartment, but we have already decided to find another place. Just small things, the other folks in the building being noisy, and the harris not being reliable when it comes to doing something when he says. A few hours late is one thing, but 3 […]
New Apartment Woes
After finally finding a place and getting the price correct, we are now finding little things that are irritating us. The washer, for one, doesn’t work the best in the world and sometimes gets stuck on the cycles. Secondly, the stove was changed out for an electric one, but there is no outlet in that […]
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 […]
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:
How much commission is usually paid to someone who helps you find an apartment?
I found a place I really like, and these people say their “finders fee” is […]
How To Find Apartments in Kuwait?
Are there any decent websites or information repositories online regarding apartments for rent in Kuwait? Apartments or full floors, either one is fine. I’ve found some sites but they show full villas with an insane amount of space and rooms. That’s a little overboard, hehe. Any suggestions on a website to visit, or a publication […]
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 […]
