if you thought salhiya was full of posers,…..
so i’m strolling along fahd al salem street in the city, on my way to Q8books to see if they have anything good this weekend.
i notice that they’ve done up the area next to the building Q8books is in, and there seems to be some sort of coffee shop there, so i figure i’ll grab a mug of java there after the bookshop. ( umm yeah i havent been down there in ages as you can tell.)
due to the way the area is designed i couldnt actually see more than the tops of the coffee shop from the street i was walking on, so i figured it would be a great place to read and have a cuppa.
lol,….
for those of you who’ve been to salhiya plaza, you’ll know what i’m talking about….
any one who hasnt been,….
well you’ll be shocked.
this is where you can observe the kuwaiti youth, and sometimes the not so youthfull, in their pre-mating or mating display grounds.( i know theres a technical term for that but i cant recall at the moment. )
i always thought starbucks was bad, but this really takes the fuckin cake.
it was almost deadly silent, there was only the slightest hum of conversation since everyone was busy ogleing everyone else, while trying not to look like they was ogleing.
you could feel the sexual tension in the air, which was just as thick as the bluetooth radiation haze that’ll probably give you cancer.
since i was with a friend who was just as shocked as myself at this place, we decided to stay and watch
attenboroughs voice kept coming into my head,…
” and here,… we see,…. the local population in their native mating habitat,… notice the display of cool non-chalant indifference both sexes engage in,…..the male flexes his steroid-produced muscles in a fake stretch designed to display his masculine prowess and rattle his expensive watch,….while the female constantly flicks her hair, shooting passing glances to and fro,…..
” while the male engages in his display while seated with his “posse”,… the female begins the display of her feminine charms once she is within sight of the location,….strutting her stuff from a distance and drawing attention while further away,…. the males’ chance for a closer inspection of what her momma gave her occurs at the cashier where she pauses to fully display her assetts in the bright lights of the cake display case.”
lol ok i’ll stop now
besides i’m sure everyone knows how things go.
also i cant completely complain,…. i got a once over and a smile from a local girl on my way out
a rare occurance,….
so unless my fly was down,…. it was an ok experience all in all
but yeah,…. not going back there anytime soon….
and lmao, they have the funniest philippino waiter who is probaly the campest guy i ever seen, with a fake american/philippino accent….. and hes loud as fuck
which makes it funnier when you hear him screaming something like ” i need more cream, i’m out of cream abdulahhh!”
i snorted my coffee through my nose when i heard him yell that.
oh and incase you’re wondering,… no their coffee wasnt that good

lol..Poor you..Scary aren’t they? Im supposed to be a local..Since I was born in Kuwait but I felt so out of place..It was tramatizing my first to sharq..I dont know why it would be..I mean they are more subtle then the west..But I guess they are more sensual..
*Looks at Lily’s comment* Sensual? Honey, “terrifying” is the word you’re looking for…
Loved your imitation of Richard
Actually loved the whole post! You made me laugh
lilac: this place is nothing like sharq,… infact i’d go so far as to say that marina mall on a thursday night is less intense
and yeah i think instead of sensual you mean hungry
so many hungry slobering wolves there:P
oh and welcome to my blog
sedna: glad you liked it sedna
hmmm with some night vision lens’s we could actually make a “wildlife” documentary
hmmm,.. actually thats atually not a bad idea
i hope u can accept my sincere apologies on behlaf of my entire generation of posers
hehe interesting….and this is why i dont like going out that much….people these days my goodness they leave me speechless in not a good way
lol tinkerbell, no apologies needed really
provided you dont fall into that trap.
battlefield, my sentiments exactly, i’ma stay home from now on
its getting scary out there
provided you young’ens dont get seduced to the dark side there is still hope
Hey.. I took print outs of the map of q8books store from their site thurs, sadly didnt make it there this weekend. Did you run like the wind and forget about the books?
Secondy is it worse than marina mall? Sometimes the way the guys look makes me want to try and blend with the potted plants….
lol i did actually get to the bookstore,.. spent about 15 mins there but didnt buy anything.
its actually quite small, although they do have some interesting things i might go back for
and yeah its worse than marina cos in marina its all kids so you can understand it to a certain degree.
salhiya plaza is grown people
which makes it sadder and a hell of a lot scarier
i do feel like trying the japanese/chinese restaraunt there one day tho
Interesting website with a lot of resources and detailed explanations.
