Kuwait Electronic Guide

I’ve been in Kuwait for quite some time now, and although it’s easy for me to get around now it hasn’t always been the case. Initially I bothered some of my friends or co-workers to find my way around, but then I used GPS devices or various apps for my phones. But like I said before, now it’s easy for me to get around but every once in a while I do need some help finding an obscure neighborhood so I’m going to share with you a site that helps me out once in a while… 

Customer service

So you’ve booked a plane ticket and the service was horrible, maybe you booked a hotel only to find out it wasn’t what it looked like on their website. Perhaps you are looking to buy something but would like numerous people’s opinion of it rather than some critic, or you are looking to see if that gift you got two months ago is being recalled. Maybe you are just plain old trying to get ahold of an actual customer service rep on the phone, instead of a computerized voice leading you on without getting an answer. Whatever it is that ails you, I am going to try and help you out by sharing some tips with you, so let’s get started…

Diabetes and Glycemic Index

Ok, let start this post by saying that I am NOT a Doctor, dietician nor have I had medical training in this particular area. But what I can say is that as someone with Type 2 diabetes I live this every day, and after having ignored this issue for a few years I’ve finally come to grips with the fact that I am a Diabetic and that I’ve got to take better care of myself. So with that out of the way, let’s get started…

Azteca Authentic Mexican Food Restaurant

Last week I was invited to a private event by the owners of Azteca Authentic Mexican Food Restaurant, they were inviting some close friends to their restaurant to sample some of the items on their menu and to give them an honest opinion about those items. They did this over a period of two days, Friday February 3^rd and Saturday February 4^th, 2012 with half of the group invited on one day and the other half the following day. American, Australian, French, Italian, Kuwaiti, Mexican, Scottish, Spanish, Syrian and Venezuelan nationals all got a chance to have a taste of authentic Mexican cuisine.

So let me tell you about Azteca, the owner is a Mexican lady who also participates in various exhibitions throughout Kuwait selling traditional Mexican Huipil dresses. The Chef is also Mexican with a degree in gastronomy with 12 years of experience having worked in several cities throughout Mexico such as Cancun, Guadalajara, Mexico City, Puebla and recently in Oaxaca where he worked at Fuego y Sazon restaurant located in the historic Jalatlaco area.
