iPad / MicroSim Internet plans in Kuwait

So I finally got my iPad 3G, and the first thing to do of course is to get a microsim card with an internet plan so I can get the most from my iPad. In Kuwait we have three options as everyone knows, Zain, Wataniya, and Viva. This is the result of my research and [...]

AlQabas and social media

In my Do you Tweet? post, I said the following about AlQabas newspaper – “On the media side, AlWatan is the only account that is active. Sadly, AlQabas is probably 20 years behind and I doubt they even know that it exists. AlJarida had an account which was active for 1 day and four tweets.” [...]

Kuwait decline

*UPDATE* below I love google trends! Google Trends charts how often a particular search term or website is entered relative to the total search volume across various regions of the world, and in various languages.

Do you tweet?

  Twitter did it this year. They’ve been there for a while but finally became the biggest phenomenon on the net since blogs came up. Even facebook is slowly changing into a mini twitter with their “feeds”. Anyway, do you tweet? If so, who do you follow? I’m very interested in seeing if people follow local companies. [...]

بوست إنتخابي … مواقع المرشحين – الدائرة الثالثة

المواقع الالكترونية للمرشحين أصبحت أحد أهم طرق التواصل و توضيح رسالة المرشحين. الموقع الالكتروني هو أسهل طريقة لدخول كل بيت “في الوقت المناسب” بعكس الاعلانات التلفزيونية و المطبوعة التي تُفرض على المشاهد أو القارئ … أما الموقع فالزيارة تأتي من الناخب و هذا يعني أن القابلية لتلقي المعلومة أو الرسالة أفضل بكثير استخدامات المواقع تختلف [...]

New phone numbers

I got this table explaining which numbers belong to which company and what number to add in front. Thought it might be helpful, although no mentioned of VIVA. Since I have a Wataniya line, I did the backup thing they have on offer, which was excellent! All my numbers on the phone were backed up [...]

Humanity

Day by day, living here in Kuwait, I continue to lose my faith in people’s humanity. From small things like breaking the traffic laws by driving in the safety lane to things like someone asking for a bribe to get things done, or someone disrespecting and humiliating another person like a housemaid or driver publicly [...]
