 It’s the time where you guys decide what language to use for posting on my blog. Honestly speaking, sometimes I have a hard time choosing the right wording for what I post, “Bas amashi el7aal”. I had the idea of this post in mind for some time because I couldn’t come to a decision by myself. So, I would really appreciate answering the poll below.

A kind invitation that I have received from Ms. Arwa Behbehani to a bloggers night at Q Cafe restaurant at The Village. The way I see it, simplicity is a key comfort factor for any restaurant which is missed by many of the newly opened ones. Yes, Q Cafe is now definitely one of my “fav-listed” comfort places in which I can have great food and enjoy the  lovely atmosphere.

The food, desserts, and beverages menus were rich of whatever you might like; “What’s so special here?” a question that popped into the mind of my cousin who joined me yesterday.. It’s those special food recipes of an ordinary dish.. Oh yes! the fries! You have to try the “sprinkled fries”! The very first moment I had one of those, I asked Ms. Arwa about the flavor, and how “NEW” it was. They do actually have a mix of herbs that they sprinkle over the fries which gives the special taste! the same thing goes for the rest of the menu, but with other kinds or special additions, flavors,.. and magical touches! Also to mention, the food was fairly rated.

Here’s a fact, we in Kuwait pioneer Internet spamming in every way possible.. I keep receiving weird stuff on my email everyday from forums or marketing companies that I have never heard of! Take this one for example “thekw.info“, their website has only one page that display and image of Kuwait towers, and lyrics of the national anthem!! But trust me, you don’t want to receive their emails. Below is an example email that I have received today:

How do they reach us?

Here is how: take a walk in “Bin Khaldoun street” in Hawali, you’ll see some ads about sending your promotional messages to over “100,000″ local emails. Go around and ask about the pricing, which will not exceed KD 50 max.

How do they get our emails?

Discussion forum owners do actually sell their user database information (Emails in specific) to different shops in Hawali, for 100 KD/list.

How can we stop it?

Enable spam filters and blacklist any spamming email (make sure to blacklist thekw@thekw.info)
