El 23 de Abril es promulgado como el Día Internacional del Libro por la Unesco, en conmemoración de tres grandes escritores: el entierro de Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (según el calendario gregoriano), la muerte (y probablemente también el nacimiento) de William Shakespeare (según el calendario juliano) y la muerte de Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. En cada parte del mundo se celebra de alguna manera, en MEK compartimos un libro que dejamos sobre una mesa y cada una se lleva uno. Hace unos años el Agregado cultural de la Embjada de España de ese momento, Gabriel Alou Forner, organizó una pequeña Feria del libro en Bait Lothan y una lectura del Quijote. Este año la Embajada de España en Kuwait nos quiere reunir a todos en la Biblioteca Nacional de Kuwait ( frente a Sadu House en Kuwait City) para una lectura continuada del Quijote por todo el mundo. Aún no tenemos la hora exacta así que si no recibís confirmación de la Embajada, seguir este blog.
As we discussed in previous post, the Spanish fashion has a big representation here. Once again, the Inditex group is in all world and markets but "Not only of Zara can the human being dress", right? Companies such as Condor have been installed in this country for a long time and that for moms like me who like the quality and variety of brand socks is helpful (in Baroue find them). Hoss Intropia is also in Kuwait (In The Avenues Mall) rather more expensive than in Spain but the truth is that it's good to go to the store and see the richness of the fabrics and skill in designing clothes. I have a dress that once landed in Bilbao I'll see if I can still find it and buy it. And we are also fortunate to have Adolfo Dominguez (also in The Avenues Mall) the store is huge and has the entire collection including U the young brand. Something I realy miss is a good brand of Spanish Shoes with good prices. We are lucky to have Pretty Ballerinas and from time to time Casta...
Hi Natalia,
ResponderEliminarWhat a great blog with some great information. We would like to invite some members from the Women's Spanish Community to attend an event at one of the L'Occitane stores ( a French skincare and cosmetics brand) at the end of the month. I was hoping to find some info about MEK, but could not find a contact number for you.
Please call me on 99579077 so that I can give you more information.
Many thanks
Alyah :)
