Kuwait-aaaa

So me & my bro decided to be spontaneous & do something different this weekend. I kept thinking well I might just book me a nice relaxing day at the spa. Not until my bro called me & said: yalla pack, we're going to Kuwait on the weekend & cousin Ahmad is joining us too.

Huurrraaay! The last time I've been to Kuwait, I was only 6 years old, Gosh mn zemaan!! so I was soo excited, Packed super lightly & prepared myself emotionally not to be sad if this plan doesn't work out. But with the power of I WANT!! it happend.

Now I just got back like an hour ago, but I left my heart in Kuwait :P It was such a joyful, delightful, just AMAZING trip.

Why?

- The unexpected welcome from my Kuwaity cousins at the airport, Oh my god, they showered me with flowers & candies infront of all the crowds. lots of hugs & tears. it's like being separated from your twin for 20 years LOL kinda.

- Out n About everywhere. Chili'es @12 a.m which I have to say should send all our Chili's to SHUT DOWN & declare failure. My god mashallah mashallah 3ainy 3alaihm bardh. Even when it was packed like I have never seen before, the service was exceptional, the food was ahmaaaazing! seriously So NOT like our lame chili's. Acually when my cousins first told me we're going there, I hesitated saying yes. But thank god I did :)

- Maki Japanese restaurant a la shwai5. Go Unagi & tempura maki ;)

- Sea cruise from Souq Sharq at sunset & the breezy weather. LOVED IT.

- Sultan centre & bread shopping for my mom :P

- The heart to heart with Marayem my cousin. I am born 25 days before marayem. That makes her & my cousin Z the oldest friends I have. During this year, me & marayem had the exact same drama happening in our life but neither of us realized that each drama repeated itself for both of us. it was actually very frightening, whenever I say something, she opens her eyes wide open & say: IT HAPPENED TO ME TOO. Sub7an Allah

- My aunts husband who is a photography genius. He has his own studio & editing room in the house. I felt like I know nothing about photography, but he taught me so many useful tips.

lol I'm overwhelmed, I'll leave you with the pix now. Enjoy

Glad you had a good time. I love it when people from UAE have fun here, intaw ma 3alaikom zod. Somehow I feel that Kuwait is considered passé :(. Can you imagine that I was born in Kuwait and haven't yet seen el abraj!
