well tomorrow is the day I am off to kuwait, qatar has been wonderful and it is a great country from what i have seen of it. i have been in the doha area and it is some kind of fun, and i think for lack of anything better i am going to work backwards in the chain of events. so we are just going to start with last night.
well last night was something let me tell you for a country you don't hear much about in the us they sure as hell know how to get down. I went to go see bob sinclaire las night a famous dj he ws spinning on the ones and twos, it was all sorts of fun i have not danced to music like that since I was in college and for real for real it was a rave (if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck well). thinks about it this way it was 106 out side at night i was on the beach and everyone was hot and sweaty dancing around to house music, so all sort of fun was had. they do allow drinking in this country so yes i had a few and it was very odd the see them counting shots you could tell these people where not used to pouring drinks. however the people where all having fun you had the two extremes in people the really hot and the really not but all tried to be a fashionable as possible and who wouldn't here when it just seems like lux is everywhere. everybody was getting so into it sweating and dancing around it was great. it also gave me the chance to hang out with my bosses and co workers in a non-sylvan setting which was really nice. all of them are some good peoples.
the night before that i had a chance to go to the souk, which is the "market" it was amazing i had a great dinner and got to sit outside and enjoy all the wonders of people watching . it is amazing to me the attention to detail that is paid here to absolutely everything( there will be another entry about the thoug an amazingly simple and yet complex garment).
the odd thing was it felt so surreal being there it was almost like being in disney land, or walking down the path through the arabian experience at epcot center. the smells from the spice stores where exactly what i expected warm, exotic, strong and completely welcoming, just walking by the stores brought a smile to my face like no other.
they we found the textile stores and there where some of the most amazing color combinations and embellishments, i can not wait till i m in kuwait and can shop for fabric and start creating again.
