Wow, ok so I have been away for a very long long time.. Kept busy with a new baby, obsessive gym routine and frolicking with my friends in my spare time, but I am back on the scene and ready to start keeping people up to date with whats going on in Kuwait, new openings, good beaches, family fun and what I am up to day to day :) Sooooo much has happened in Kuwait over the past 2 years. I think it's alot easier for expats to live here now. There's alot more to do, new places to see and lots to update people about. Kuwait is pulled in 2 directions with the young and well travelled wanting it to become more modern, and the deep rooted want to keep the culture, the traditions and ... read more

FUN LAND !! There are very few play areas for children that are indoor, so when I come across one I like to share it's information. Fun Land is an indoor childrens play area which consists of a large climbing sliding soft play area, arcade type games, and some small scale fair rides. Its very very cheap at fun land. All rides are 250 fils (except soft play area/ climbing frames, this is 1kd per child but they get to stay in as long as they like and go in and out for drinks etc). You purchase a plastic swipe card nd add as much or as little as you like. Theres a man who sits in a booth at one end of the room and he adds credit to your card (he isnt always sitting ... read more

Just had to rave about this place This week myself and a group of friends decided to go some where different for our breakfast outing (we try to go as often as possible using the excuse that we are researching eateries in kuwait hehe). This week we decided to try a Lebanese restaurant we had seen close to a place called Fresh where my friends have eaten before. The food, service and surroundings were so good, I rushed back here to tell you all about it. Anyone who is alredy in Kuwait MUST go and try this place out. Its called Al Berdawny (find it at this link http://alberdawny.com/index.html ) When you first arrive, the thing that strikes you the most is the beauty of the restaurant itself. Its very castle looking with the most ... read more

Where have I been Hello everyone. Firstly I really have to apologise for not updating this blog for such a long time and not checking in to see if it was being read. It all started as a way of me keeping friends up to date and I never thought so many people would find it and read it, and wow.. so many people have found it interesting.. So here goes. I will now promise to keep updating hopefully at least once a month or more as the longer I'm in Kuwait the more I learn and the easier life gets. (and more fun hehe). Where to begin. Ok well there is quite a large gap from my last entry to this one. Quick recap is in order I think. When I wrote the last ... read more

Hello to all, Well the heading speaks for its self really... hehehhee I think this statement is a great rule to live by. When in rome do as the roman's do... So that's exactly what I have done. nearly 90% of Kuwaiti's have a maid (or two) and a driver to boot if ones needed. Maybe a nanny also to help with the children but many maids do that. Envy was not the word. Every day I would see the maids washing cars, doing laundry, ironing (my most hated thing in life I think), food shopping, mopping..... you name it they did it. Great... Darling, I said... I want one... I sounded like one of those children you see with the faces pressed up against the window of a toy shop "I want one".. So being ... read more
