This is a video someone called Youfes did for a school project. The video is about how Kuwaiti teenagers are different and have different interests. My favorite part was “The Geezes”. [Video]
Thanks RJV

Here are some links related to this blog.
Some of the older blogs Mark's worked on.
Shift through my older posts by subject.
Here is a list of some other interesting blogs.
No problem man, but whoever made this was creative. Pay attention to the music, especially when they switch over to the geezees.
I didn’t realize this until now, but there’s so much stuff you can do here if you’re a young teenager these days. When I was a kid, all we had was Laila Gallery, Al-Fanar just built up, and people would hang out at Al-Manara Bookstore and freakin IVC. Hahaha!!! People would also go to Casino Recordings, bas that’s not there anymore. Neither is Wendy’s.
They had A&W restaurant too, but that’s gone. No more Triple Papa Burgers.
Kids shouldn’t complain about being bored. There’s so much to do these days.
dude you were better off then me. when i was in highschool all we had was sultan center, and then they made it familys only on weekends so we were fucked.
so we moved to hardees which was located where starbucks and topshop is now but then they shut it down.
so we moved to fudruckers which had just opened until i got banned for breaking a window during a fight.
then they opened johnny rockets and we moved there. but then they had a minimum 1.5kd per person limit and we used to be like 6 broke teens squeezing in on 1 table ordering 1 tea so we had to move out.
we started hanging out on the corner infront of johnny rockets but then the cops stopped letting us gather there cuz it was getting too crowded.
finally we moved to mcdonalds.
there was no fanar no nothing.
also on a side note, if the person who mad the video thinks the cool people are the ones who hang out at the billiard places then you can tell how cool the guy who made the video is lol
Wait, Fanar was built when, back in 97 or 98 right??? I think it was somewhere back then.
Hungry Bunny too. I forgot about Hungry Bunny. You can’t forget about the Super Bunny!!!
Oh man, Mark you were a rebel, hehehe.
I graduated class of 96.
My house is near where Hungry Bunny used to be in the old salmiya. There also used to be Dairy Queen and A&W there in the 80s. Anyway don’t know if you remember this but there was a cookie place that opened inside Hungry Bunny but later shut down. I don’t remember what it was called but they had the best fucking chocolate chunk cookies ever.
there was a shisha place opposite where Subway the R&B/RAP music store near where the tunnel used to be. Used to hang out there also hehe
Hahaha, was there a place where they sold pirated VHS’s over there in that tunnel too? I forgot what it was called, but I think it had like piano bars as their store sign or something.
I was class of 95. We only had Sultan Center on weekday. LOL. no guys allowed, remember. Then came Fuddruckers.
I remember Fuddruckers where they used to have that basketball tournament.
This is quite funny (o:
There was people’s houses too…
lol this guy is my friend, one who did the video
The video: Not too great. Didn’t entertain me too much, would’ve been much better if there was some commentary.
Never the less, it’s really creative and well thought of.
One more thing: ‘The Others’ is more like ‘The Geeks’…
[...] Mark links to a video which he said it shows how some Kuwaiti teenagers are different and have different interests. [...]
it’s just a bunch of boring general shots and doesn’t even include female kuwaitis. sorry but ZZzzz..
ohhh, the days of the old Salmiya tunnel…vanadalized by “Crew X” of course!
THe sheesha place is still there, Mark. It’s called Al Ba7r el Abyath. THey have the best lemon with mint drink ever!
LOL, the days of Manara and collecting cards and comics. We were so simple. DOnt forget the BB gun wars ;P
heh how do you know about the BB gun wars???
dude, you are talkin to a veteran here, ok! LOL!
what year did you graduate?
But guys (a comment from snowy Sweden): Where are the girls?
That video was a waste of 5 minutes. The ghetto?? Bald and beautiful?? .. I would have flunked the kid.
They were being creative. Give them a break.
2001
I’ll give this video an “A” for being (a)ight.
I could imagine how tough it would be for the guy to take video of people, pretty interestig video.
Holy shit this brings back old memories about the tunnel and subway. we used to hang there alot then it was Laila gallery pool place when tunnel went under the knife. We used to go to A&W to “study” for exams and shit. They limited refills to 3 after I took like 20 :P
After that we moved to wataniya where subway moved too and played CS in arena upstairs then we graduated (class of 2001) and that was the end of those days … Only go to salmiya now to buy shit
Hi, you think its possible to get the contacts of those who did the actual video?
thx
