It seems such a long time since I’ve been anywhere! Well, actually, one month. This, coming from me, who used to complain she didn’t spend enough time in Kuwait with her “feet on the ground”! Savour it, Rohaizan! When I call friends now, the first question many ask me will be, “Are you in Kuwait?” [...]

Sin city?
Towards the end of our trip to Bahrain, hubby asked me as he usually does after a trip, “So what title are you calling your post about Bahrain?” And I replied, “Sin City!” Mind you, that’s BEFORE I had done any kind of reading about Bahrain. Would it come as a shock to you to [...]
Happy Twenty-Ten!
Happy New Year from Bahrain! May the new year bring peace, love and better times for everyone, wherever you are.
Hello Bahrain!
After six years in Kuwait, I finally make it to Bahrain! Why did I want to go to Bahrain? Hubby goes there a lot on business, so I hear a lot about Bahrain and I’d never been there before, and now, we have friends there. I guess they are good enough reasons. Plus there was [...]
2009…the year that was
Time flies, as always. This is the time of year when everyone wonders…where did the year go? It never fails. It seems like only yesterday that we welcomed 2009 and soon its time to say goodbye. We were on board the Crystal Symphony on 1st January 2009 – cruising the Palmer Archipelago – a group [...]
Thinking about trdlo!
The height of our culinary experience in Prague was TRDLO. That’s right. Trdlo. I didn’t miss any vowels there! LOL (Some other Czech words do not have any vowels at all like zmrzl – frozen solid, ztvrdl – hardened, scvrkl – shrunk, blb – fool, vlk – wolf, etc.) What is trdlo? Very simply – [...]
Tourists in Prague
We spent 4 days in Prague and although it seemed like a short time, it was enough time to see the most important things about the city. The most interesting days were the days we spent with our certified guide, Petr Zidek on our walking tour of Prague and the trip to Terezin. We usually [...]
Bohemian rhapsody
We walked more than we planned to today after checking in! Our room at the Golden Well Hotel would only be available at 2pm and, as happens many times during our travels when our flight arrives in the morning, we would leave our luggage there and do a leisurely walk, have breakfast and come back [...]
Good morning Praha!
It was the long Eid al Adha weekend in Kuwait and we had decided to do what many Kuwaitis and expats did during the long Eid weekend – go somewhere not too far away. We also had air miles we wanted to use. We chose Prague in the Czech Republic because I had heard so [...]
The culinary capital of Spain….no, Europe!
We’ve travelled a fair bit since living in Kuwait and when travelling to a new place, I usually research the place and its attractions well before the trip so that I can picture the holiday, so to speak. Hubby usually plans the excursions and activities. I had known about our trip to San Sebastián for [...]
