I remember when I first moved here on February 14th, 2004. We had a few restaurants here, no where near what we have now and Popeye's was one of them. I remember one location in Hawally close to Rehab  and another in Mahboula where the Alia and Ghalia Towers are. Along with many others they closed down at some point and now they're back. Grand opening on January 30, 2025. They're located in Divonne Complex in Abu Hasani, exit 208. The complex has been completely refurbished with some new restaurants opening. Now I don't have to fly to UAE to get my fix, not good for my diet tho ..read more

 Breaking News! Sahel is now in English, go the the corner tab menu, I think the third option is language, tap on English and voila! it's English. I haven't tried it out so I don't know if it's 100 % correct or if it is just Google translate. Time will tell, but this is a good first step ..read more

 Today I was in Farwaniya looking for the Kuwaiti passport place, which was found to be torn down completely, when returning from the area I heard a faint noise from my tire and knew there was a nail or something in my tire. Sure enough, there was a huge screw in it, I tried to reach my garage in Surra but the screw came out and my tire went flat, I immediately pulled over to the right side of the highway opposite Zahra on 50 highway.  I called my winch and he was on his way to pick my car up, as I waited I could feel the cars close, every one of them shook my car as they passed. All ..read more

 I was married to a Kuwaiti until 2015, I was on a visa 22 during the marriage. After the marriage ended I went through a lot in order to receive a visa 24 which was sponsored by my Kuwaiti kids. Up until this year I had always renewed it with no problem every year as they refused to give me more than one year in case I get married again (eye roll). I went to the same manager who has helped me from the beginning only to be told that he can no longer help me and that I will have to go to Dajeej and get permission from the manager there.  He gave me a wasta pass and I finally found t ..read more

 I drove by the area where all of the old houses are and the House of National works museum, sadly I found the museum completely destroyed. The museum was closed many years ago due to some disagreements about the land link and the NCCAL/Kuwaiti Government displayed no interest in relocating it. You can see the museum before link and at one time Sheikh Talal's car was parked beside the museum link too. Before:  After: The weird thing was that inside the demolished building there was a large amount of bee hives that had been destroyed. As you c ..read more

  It's been a while since I've flown with Kuwait Airways, last time was to Sharm in Egypt many years ago. I've only been traveling to Qatar and when I flew to UAE I would use Fly Dubai. I had booked tickets to Qatar with Qatar Airways but had to cancel and it was easy, just call and cancel with the funds being returned within a few days, which was the same for Jazeera Airlines. Now I mad the mistake of booking my ticket to Qatar on Kuwait Airways and what a disaster it had become. Back in March I tried to cancel with the calling center, only to be told I have to send an email to some ref ..read more

 I don't know if anyone had visited the Flow House that was in Abu Halaifa nest to Kuwait Magic, I passed by the mall and noticed there wasn't any activity at the park. I noticed it was totally closed down and the signage had been removed. I looked at their IG page @flowhousekw and they've been closed since 2020. I don't know if it had anything to do with Aqua Park closing as they had a flow house located there too. Sadly it's not surprising as almost all of the entertainment places have been closed and Kuwait has become a place for food and malls, here's my post  ..read more
