Kuwait Oil Company 75th Anniversary
[YouTube]
Before I left on vacation I got an email telling me about how beautifully lit Ahmadi is at night because of the KOC 75th anniversary. I didn’t have time to pass by and now that I am back I still haven’t been able to pass by (I’m too lazy and Ahmadi is far) but I found some videos on YouTube that show some of the light decorations. According to a friend the lights are still up so if you want to pass by you probably should hurry up before they taken them down.

This is very normal with Ahmadi. And in case you guys miss it, you don’t have to wait another 25 years for KOC’s 100 year anniversary – Ahmadi is always lit up like this in the last week of Feb.

They do this kind of decoration every year for the national holiday. Here is a video from feb. 2008:

Ahmadi always does it during the Liberation Day celebrations. Now is a good time to enjoy the lights coz in February the foaming will start and will be impossible to take a decent look around.
I went here on the 31st. Here’s a post about that on my blog:
