I was browsing the net looking for something when I found this from the U.S. Embassy website
" Weekender’s Guide to Life in Kuwait 2007 Edition" -
link
Just your list of places to go and stuff, very helpful I would say but I noticed a few things (I always do).
1. EDO: Authentic Japanese Cuisine in a modern, sleek interior. The restaurant menu has a wide selection of dishes. The take out menu is more limited. The food is excellent and light tasting. Credit Cards okay,
just not American Express - I never knew that.
2. MAKI : Quite good here. Pricey as any Japanese restaurant is, compared to other cuisines. Small but charming place.
Has a flat screen TV to keep you occupied while they are preparing your orders.
- I am not sure if that was intended to be funny, but it made me laugh.
3. ISABEL’S CAFETERIA: Not a restaurant, but a caterer. Offers homemade Mexican food by the plate or as large dishes for parties. Very tasty! Call one day ahead for plates and two days in advance for large dishes -
Someone (hint hint) did not tell me about this!
4.
LANDMARK: Kuwait’s version of a Target - Oprah's favorite store.
5. Arifjan PX: (...) It’s the only place to buy (....) and
vanilla extract - Is Vanilla extract code for something?
6. FRUIT AND VEGETABLE MARKETS: Also called
“Chappras” - Reminds of replacement Latina version of Copper Island.
7.
ENTERTAINMENT FOR ADULTS - umm?
8.
FORMAL DINNER DANCES: The Marine Corps Birthday Ball in the Fall, and the Military Ball in the Spring will give you a chance to dress up. Other organizations also have dances, though they might not be formal - interesting.
9.
AEWA BARBERSHOP: Hair cutting for men available Mondays on the Embassy compound. Sign up for an appointment at the AEWA gift shop - Would they give a normal civilian like me one? do I need a visa?
10. JEAN ESCALANTE: Home service provided –
highly recommended by some Embassy personnel - umm?
11. MAGICIAN: Prof. Gugampoo. Magician, illusionist, and ventriloquist. www.gugampoo.com. - interesting.
12. RELIGIOUS SERVICES - going down the list, no synagogue?
However, the list is comprehensive and good for those who like to do stuff, unlike lazy me.
