Reminiscing Kuwait – Part 1

Nov 13 2007

It’s been three months since I left Kuwait for a job opportunity that can’t be ignored. Who would ignore a chance of going to the US of A to have your medical examination and other processing before your deployment to your work site? And the chance of seeing your love ones after 120 days of working continuously for an R&R (Rest & Relaxation)? I guess nobody right? Or, maybe few will…. The insane ones! 🙂

For an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker), an R&R or vacation (on a simple term) every four months is rare. Because the majority of the OFW’s in the Middle East are having their vacations every 2 years. Hey, if you’d like to go frequent to Philippines it will cost you a lot!

Anyway, back to the topic!

Sometimes, I think of going back to Kuwait. Why? ‘Coz I missed the Kuwaitis? Ngeeeekkk, wrong answer! Read More

This house is located in Ahmadi, Kuwait.

Masri pose

Masri is an arabic word pertaining to an Egyptian. This picture was taken an hour ago when I was having lunch in an Arabic Restaurant near the office.

While I was eating, he keeps bugging me with the print out and I told him that he has to pay 1 Kuwait Dinar. Jarannnnnnn……. then he shut up. hehehe

Hummus

Jan 16 2007

Hummus is a dip made of chickpea and sesame seed paste with flavorings such as olive oil, garlic, paprica and lemon juice. This dish is very popular through out Middle East and it only cost you 400 Kuwaiti fils in Kuwait. I know ‘coz this was my lunch yesterday with an Irani Khubz (bread in Arabic).

This picture was taken by a Nokia N73 Mobile Phone which has a 3.2 Mega Pixel Camera.

This is my dinner last night in Applebees. I know it’s against my doctor’s advice not to eat red meat. But who can resist Porter Steak. Yummy!
