Btw. is anyone of you already a member of InterNations?

That’s a pretty new social networking site, started by some Germans last year - especially for Expats .

Right now it’s with invitation only.
If you are interested, drop a comment and I’ll invite you.

Lately they renovate a lot of mosques around here.
Ours here in Mangaf finally gets done too.

This one is in Fahaheel.

As far as I have learned mosques are sponsored by private people (and named after them?).
I’m not sure who pays for the upkeep though.

Some little add on here, found by Miss Intlxpatr.
Did you know that you actually can tell a difference in some cases between a Sunni and a Shiite mosque?

Some glimpses.

More Information & Photos about what Failaka Island is and how to get there, what to do there with a bit of history on my website.

These are just some shots I wanted to add and use to take you on a small tour .

Souvenir Shops and a tea & Shisha place at the Failaka heritage village

Camel ride anyone?

OK, here comes.
We talked about prayer calls in the Middle East this morning.
This is one I like.
(Sorry for the quality. Two dogs on a leash pulling in various directions didn’t make it any better nor easier )
They are quite a bit longer, I’ll try to find one and hopefully my wonderful, but very wonky Internet connection lets me upload it one of these days

It’s probably not appropriate to say I like or dislike a prayer call.
But the ones here in Kuwait are Life.
And some are good and some are, uhm, not so good.
Just my two cents
