I am totally baffled.

I just got a comment on my old wordpress blog on a post about the trash situation in Kuwait.
The blog post is from a bit more than one year ago.

The comment is from a reporter of the Kuwait Times. A new one.
It contains even an apology for the newspaper not responding to an email by me.

Maybe there’s yet hope for Kuwait?

On another note:

Sorry for posting so much today, but hey, it’s my bloggoversary.
One year www.nicoleb.org
I think, I’m excused, no?

Now, where’s the cake and the champagne ?

We actually are not going anywhere today.
Instead I took the poochies to the beach.
Well deserved after being held hostage in the house without a longer walk for three days.

The weather is awesome. Not too hot yet, a nice breeze that smells like Spring flowers and the tide was finally high so the dogs could swim.

JoJo finally went into the water again too. She didn’t want to for quite some time now. I guess King that big stupid moron nearly drowned her one time.

Today I threw the bottles one time for King, let him lay down and stay and one time for JoJo and so on. Worked pretty well.

The Filipinos were there again too to catch fish and have a BBQ.

Some Kuwaitis were around too, but most not for long.

The Babyfish are there again too.

Saw a big school while standing almost hip deep in the nice and cool water

Sadly the beach is trashed. The worst I have seen since a long time.

A lot of stuff that the tide brings in, but due to the fact that today is the first day of the weekend you once again find a bunch of fast food packages.

I guess, I will go next week one or two mornings on a clean up mission again.
I really don’t get it.
Coming here and enjoying natures Beauty and leaving all that shit behind.
I wish the government would at least put a big trash container somewhere. But I guess, Mangaf beach is just not important enough.

Anyone cares to join me? Let me know

(yes, despite the rant this early morning, I had a good time )

Miss A. stopped by today and we decided to go to “my” beach instead of the one in Fahaheel and do some trash collecting.
We did two bags, parked them at the main road for pickup next morning and went for another round along the beach.

I’m glad you enjoyed the beach.
Had a nice little BBQ and good food.
Oh, you even put the trash in bags.
Good people.

Now, can you Morons next time take that trash and put it in big ol’ trash containers that you can find everywhere?
There is none?
Take it home!
Or are you afraid of the smell?
Think it ruins your beautiful, shiny car?

Or are you so used to someone cleaning up after you, that you just don’t think that far?

Why I still get pissed every weekend after 9 months here, I don’t know.
It just is the way it is.
I don’t get these people.
No matter if it’s Kuwaitis, Germans or Indians.
I don’t care.
Just pick up your trash and put it where it belongs!
