Al Kout Festival at Auk

I was at Auk today and decided to take some pictures from this over segregated university's Al Kout Festival.

It was full of Kuwaiti owned buisnesses, some Kuwaiti Art and also some old Kuwaiti Cars.

Some of the more interesting things were inside the auditorium where there were men at work making all sort of traditional crafts.

They also had Camels!

There were also a Kuwaiti musical group Something Bahar, wasn't sure of the nae and poems read by several poets of them Faisal Al Adwani. It was very pleasant and there were some interesting and fattening things to eat.

They are going to be there for two more days and there are going to be lot's of interesting stuff to check out.

Kuwaits Musem/Antique Store.

Nawader Al Kuwait Antique Store Enterance.

Every now and then you fall on something Unique, well tday on my way home i saw a shop filled with antiques/artifacts whatever you want to call them. It was like i was stepping into a different World there was everything from old records coins and stereos machines toys to old pepsi scratch and win prizes and much more.. The shop is owned by the person who also owns LAKATAT Studio in shaab Mohammed Al Banna (i need to double check). He first planned on making it another studio and calling it LAHATHAT before changing his mind. The shop is small and no Bigger than MOKAN cafe next to ASK, to those who know it However the amount of items he has and their vareity are breath taking. What makes it special is that He only sells records, as he hopes to preserve some part of Kuwait's dissapearing history. He's extremley friendly and hospitable and will take you way back as he talks about where and when the antiques were attained. He sells Records mostly arab records but he does even have the Beatles Bonny M etc.. so it could be a nice present for those of you who have people in their lives that were their at "that" time. This store is Unique in kuwait and its the only one that sells records in the Middle east apparently. If you want to check it out their Address is: Pearl Al Marzoug Building in Ras Al Salmiya St 1. Its Called Nawader Al Kuwait.
