Testicles for Florence but she says no......

Menu for Dinner

We hear little actual news of Kuwait and we live here. My information comes from various corners but it is not easy to find out what is going on. For those whose geography is sketchy, this tiny little country is positioned in the middle of Iran and Saudi..... for example... everything must pass over and through....
It is an interesting time to be here as rumours circulate.

So we went out for dinner
and forgot about it all.
Situated right on the Gulf of Arabia isBurj Al Hamam- a divine Lebanese restuarant right on the water's edge.

Looking back towards Kuwait City

The evening is warm but the heat has gone.
The water is almost oily in its heaviness but that is possible anyway as the oil wells sit out off the coastline beyond vision. The waves rise with a slowness. as if here, the water is more dense ... and it is as the saltiness would never allow for a drowning!


But the food is good. I think the first waiter did not find us to his liking as he forgot us quickly. The second was attentive but his caring attitude was lacking or just not obvious on this night. The final one was great and we settled into another great feast in Kuwait. Pesto hummous, various breads, salads, meats... we decided against the lamb testicles.


And later the fisherman came and sat on the water's edge/ Families sat along the beach.

Crossing Gulf Street to find a cab is a challenge as the cars all seem intent on homicide with the victims being two pinkies... made it though and found a mad cabbie.
Hopped in and said 2.5 KD... he said no... Stop we said and I made to get out, Lee's door had been locked from the front as the mongrel refused to stop
/ My door was open as he kept moving..  I am glad I was not alone- this guy was a crazy. He agreed to our deal and we continued. This is my second bad go with a cabbie. The first time I was alone , coming home from the gym and that guy had locked my door too...... I won't travel at night alone again and only go with my known driver. The males intend to intimidate women- same story as everywhere.

So I wonder what this week will bring and I wonder if the invasion sirens will sound for real instead of just for practise......
