Icarus Kuwait

 
Kuwait depara pocas sorpresas al visitante y esta es una de ellas.
¿Donde creéis que está esto? Pues en la isla de Failaka enfrente de Kuwait City, mas o menos. Esto es lo que queda de unas ruinas arqueológicas que datan de la edad de bronce (entre el 2do y 3er milenio antes de cristo). Se cree que es lo que en su día fue denominado "Los Jardindes de Babilonia" pero poco queda de eso que todos imaginamos. La pena es que puedes ir a visitar la isla pero nadie informa de nada allí, simplemente esta vayado y si ese día estas de suerte y hay alguién por ahí igual te deja entrar pero habrás de echarle imaginación para entender lo que ves.

Kuwait has little things to surprise the visitors and this one of those. The ruins in Failaka are suppossed to belong to the bronce age in the 2nd o 3rd millenium BC. Failaka is believed to be the place described as the Garden of Eden in the Babylonian but when you arrive there dont expect to see what your imagination has in mind. The worst thing is that there is no one there to talk you about the ruins, the place is closed and if you are luckly to find someone maybe you can get in at take a quick look.
 
Did you imagine this ruins could be by any chance in Kuwait? More information here.
If you want to visit the island visit this web site of KPTC the Kuwaiti company for transport.

Spanish fashion in Kuwait | Moda Española en Kuwait II parte

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...

Colonia Kuwaiti para hombre | Kuwait 7711

No todos los olores hechos para Kuwait tienen Out entre sus componentes. Aquí os traigo esta colonia para hombres que mis chicos adoran llamada Kuwait 7711. Yo soy alérgica al Out por lo que esta colonia, que me recuerda a mi niñez y a mi abuelo, me encanta. La compró Br1 en la cooperativa no hace mucho y le costó 1.650 kd. También me parece un buen souvenir que llevarte de Kuwait para estas navidades. Cologne made in Kuwait, throughs me back to good memories of my grand Father. It´s quite cheap, 1.650 kd and you can get it from the coop, Shamiya. I also think its a good souvenir from Kuwait or even a gift for birthdays or Christmas.

Palestinian Cultural Center Exhibition

Palestinian Culture Center www.palestinianculture.org Pincha aquí / click here para ver la ubicación del evento  Este era de mis planes favoritos cuando vivía en Kuwait, me han enviado la información del evento e inmediatamente he pensado en compartíroslo, ya que compartir es de guapas, como dice La Vecina Rubia.  No dejéis de comprar una de sus piezas de cerámica pintadas por mujeres Palestinas en exclusión, refugiadas y con vidas muy muy difíciles. Las aceitunas, los dulces y las galletas saladas eran mis favoritas.  This was one of my favourite plans while living in Kuwait. This association helps women in social exclusion living in as refugees in Lebanon, don´t miss the exhibition and please buy one of the fabric pieces or handpainted pottery. And try their olives or biscuits... love them.
