PF Chang's China Bistro in Avenues Mall Kuwait

PF Changs China Bistro is a famous Asian bistro worldwide. It may have been a couple of times for my friends to visit and dine here, but for Ryan and I, it was our first. The reason why we suddenly decided to try this restaurant that day was actually due to our leg pain after a night of walking at the long stretch of the Avenues Mall. It was an Eid Holiday in Kuwait, the barrage of people in the mall and the long queues summon some sitting down somewhere. But still we ended up being listed on the waiting list and waited for 30 minutes before we got accommodated.

Monthly Grocery Shopping and Budgeting

This one will surely sound a bit unnatural for most people, but what can I do since I am living in the
middle east? Roaming around here doing groceries weekly is not really a practice. And besides, paychecks
are given monthly which means that money here needs a month-long stretch of budgeting.

After months of wise money handling I realized that it is easier if all the bills are settled at the first week after salary. I always remember what my mom taught me as the basic principle of success in money matters (Salary - Savings and Investments = Expenses). But honestly, I kind of tweaked this formula a bit to (Salary - (Groceries + Responsibilities + Savings and Investments) = Savings and Expenses) <Apply MDAS rule here>

After posting this one, my mom messaged me in facebook to do juicing ASAP. 

Sunrise in Kuwait

After almost 3 months of being confined in the corners of our flat (since I am on a dependent visa), I finally found a group which can bring me back to my old self : adventure-filled, twisted, extreme self.

Kuwait has been a challenging place to live in since all my actions should be well -adhered to their customs and traditions. The Don'ts and Do's of this place bombard me. These limitations inevitably inhibit me to roam around which I normally do.

Being in a photography group opened me to more chances to be myself. This time, I get to be who I am again. This inspired me to create this new blog which will consist of my adventures here in Kuwait.

A traveler will always be a traveler, no matter where she is. ;) Enjoy the stories of my adventures here in Kuwait!!!
