Today I was lucky enough to be taken on a tour of Infunity which will be one of the largest indoor amusement parks in Kuwait once completed. Three things that grabbed my attention there, the first is they will have a pretty cool indoor roller coaster that’s designed by the same people who build ones for Six Flags. Secondly they will have Go-Kart Drifting which I didn’t know existed but sounds pretty cool. Finally my favorite thing, they will have a huge proper climbing wall! The place will launch early next year and they will be located on the top floor of 360 Mall near the bowling and arcades.
Today’s giveaway is starting later than usual because I want the readers who check the blog in the evening to have a chance to participate. The giveaway today is courtesy of The Chocolate Bar which as many of you know have an incredibly large menu filled with chocolate based desserts. I always have a difficult time trying to figure out what to order but with today’s giveaway you shouldn’t have that problem because The Chocolate Bar is giving away an invite for 4 so you can go with your friends and enjoy their desserts at their newly reopened Marina Crescent branch.
They have a few branches around Kuwait but for the past few months the Marina Crescent one had been closed for renovation. It had been open for five years and needed an update but the renovations have been completed and tonight is the reopening.
All you need to do to win The Chocolate Bar invite for 4 is to leave a comment below and later on in the evening I will use random.org to select a winner.

This giveaway thing is turning out to be pretty cool. I’ve got I think around 14 more giveaways to give since a lot of businesses want to be part of this which is great for everyone. I am also trying to get a variety of gifts, some food related, some electronic stuff, some stuff for guys and some stuff for girls etc. So far I think I’ve got a nice variety lined up. Today’s giveaway is courtesy of Saso Lounge who you guys will recognize from the banner right on top.
They’ve just opened up in a brand new location in Abu Hulaifa, right next door to Johnny Rockets and Starbucks in Alia and Ghalia towers. I haven’t been to their new branch yet but I have been to their Kuwait City branch and they’ve got a very large range of great dishes to suite everyone. Their website was also recently updated and now has a large food gallery where you can check out all their dishes (don’t check it if you’re hungry and fasting!). Saso Lounge are giving away a KD20 voucher which you could use at either of their branches. All you need to do to win this voucher is to leave a comment below and later on in the evening I will use random.org to select a winner. For more information on Saso Lounge visit their website [Here]

The website Yearbook Yourself has relaunched after being down for some time. There are some new additions to the site but most importantly there are new pictures to be super imposed onto. Yearbook Yourself is a website where you upload your picture to it and it will then super impose your face onto different yearbook pictures from the 1950 up to the year 2000. You get to see how you would have looked like if you had lived back in that era. It can be a lot of fun. [Link]
Magic Planet opened up at Avenues and it looks really great. What I think makes the place special is the minimalist design of some of the toys which all seem to take form of white bugs. I took the picture above but a friend of mine (Thanks Ibrahim!) emailed me a ton of pictures which you can check out by clicking on continue below.
Imagine you’re in space with no spaceship, no space suit, just you versus the cold empty vacuum of space. How long you could survive? After answering the questions on the site it turns out I can last for 1 minute and 23 seconds. [Link]
Some students at the French School of Kuwait attempted to all freeze at the same time a la “Frozen Grand Central” except the result didn’t turn out that good really. At least they tried, maybe the next one will be better. Forward to around 4 minutes into the video, thats when they freeze. [YouTube]
I am assuming the cops use a similar software to this with victims of attacks. The picture on the left is me trying to draw myself and the picture on the right is of Holla (my friend) trying to draw himself. Its pretty easy to use and the results are pretty neat. I am going to get back to working on my face trying to make it resemble me. [Link]
Tips: You can move the location of face features by clicking on them in the picture on the right and moving it about. You can increase and decrease the width and height of the features by using the axis thingy on the left. You can also save your face for other people to see. If you click on load and then search for a face called 248am you should find the one I am working on.
