The Town of ghosts

It is really weird that these huge buildings are empty because ppl are afraid of paying more.

The question is did the companies that built all this think about that ;/

Happy Columbus Day !

What is Columbus day ?

It is the anniversary of the arrival of Christopher Columbus to The new world (America) on October 12, 1492, many countries celebrate this day and consider it as an official holiday others as unofficial day, including the Latin America, in latin America and some latino communities in USA they call it Día de la Raza (Day of the Race).

In NY city, USA, the first Columbus Day celebration was held in 1792 - the city celebrated the 300th anniversary of the landing.

During this day, most schools hold porgrams about it, Columbus Day has evolved into a celebration of Italian-American heritage. Local groups host parades and street fairs featuring colorful costumes, music and Italian food. also activities include traditional dance and lessons about Native American culture.

Angelina Jolie wearing scarf in Pakistan

I really like the picture of Angelina Jolie when she visited Pakistan to help the victims there as a goodwill ambassador, well, she is not Muslim even not Christian, she didn't identify herself in any region , but when she went there she didn't care about the religion or the race or anything else, she went there by the name of humanity to help those poor people.
Honestly, I didn't like her before because of her personal life and how she took Brad Bit from his wife after, but I still respect her other side, because I believe that each one of us has a bad and a good side, she is a human and she have them too .. =)

Another thing, I like how she wore the scarf respecting the Islamic country that she visited, this can show us how it is nice to respect others in their lands and how to accept them as themselves ..

Here are a video for her when she went there from the BBC ..

Teach me some English and u can stay at my home

This entry is about China xD
During my trip before few weeks I read an interesting article in the Kuwait Airways' Magazine, I think its name was "Alburaq", Not sure ;/ but any ways the article said that some Chinese families started to work in a new project that allow them to host the tourists in their houses for free , and the tourists instead have to teach the family English Language for 1 or 2 hours daily, I don't know but I really liked the Idea so much, I feel that it is really interesting and it shows how important is this language, I think maybe the high costs of English courses in china forced them to start this thing but anyway it is not bad ...

Women and tough jobs !

Yesterday, I was invited to a public talking competition, the woman was one of the important topics that they discussed. They talked about Kuwaiti women and if they are capable to work in fields as a fire fighter or a cop.
Before few days , I read in the paper that some women cops faced some problems with public specially guys, while they were doing their job in the some malls. I think there are some problems with the society to accept this new idea. it is not because women are unable to be in this position, it is only because the society still didn't accept this new thing. In my opinion, it just needs time.
In the old days, before even the discovery of oil in Kuwait. It was really hard for any woman to be an employee or to have a a job, but by time ,people became more open, and as you see now most of the women have a jobs with high education levels .
If we take US as an example, you can notice that before 20 years maybe it was a joke to say that a woman will be a candidate for the president position. But now, the things changed because the American society realized that woman can do it and she is qualified enough to get that position as much as the man..
For me, I believe that if the woman want something, she can do it no matter what the difficulties are. Not because she is a woman she can't do it, and because he is a man he can. It only depends on individuals, and nothing to do with the sex.
From all what I said before , you can understand that it is again a matter of time and I am sure that the Kuwaiti society will be pleased to deal with a policewoman one day..
