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

Laura's Pregnant!!! Whoo Hoo!!! Oh and by the way, I'm in Kuwait on my way back to FOB Iskan. Brief Recap of July: I spent most of the month on convalescent leave. Normally I would have gotten 14 day of con leave, but since I spent a good chunk or my R&R going to doctor visits, they gave me 30 days off. They wouldn't have had anything that I could do on Rear D anyway. Physical therapy took up about two hours three times a week, so I had plenty of time to spend with the family. We had a good number of nice days in July, so we did spend a lot of time outside grilling, taking walks, and playing in the pool. Honestly, right now I can't think of anything else that we did; ... read more

This journal account is primarily about what happens from the time after September 06 in Kuwait, but feel that a quick recap of the 26 odd year before 06 might help give a more rounded picture. So.... here goes (Will be like the Reduced Shakespeare Society etc) So, were born in January 1980 to parents, Roy and Jacki, in Poole - Dorset. Waiting for me was my big sister Jayne who arrived a couple of years before me. Oh, and Filley - pet English Setter Dog. Parents moved us to Seaford (sussex) 3 months after my birth and Tamsyn (second sister) was born in 1983. Ummm everything else was pretty standard for a few years. No major events or issues, very 'normal' childhood if such a thing exists.... Morgan (Great Munsterlander dog joined the pack in ... 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
