Kuwait City is Aiiight.



For a city with no legal alcohol or dancing - Kuwait City is pretty sick.

The first night we had there we got to check out some hush hush, little-promoted Rooftop Cinema Anime - catching Paprika up in the hot breeze.

I gotta say this blog was what hooked me up with a few juicey gems in Kuwait so bigups to the 2:48am fam for putting in the effort.



I've felt pretty graph deprived by the UAE's squeaky clean policy, it was cool to see some bits and pieces dotted around - and a decent lil skate park too..



The city's even got some MIB style camoflaged UFO's dotting about:





Wifey nearly turned reptilian in the Aquarium thingy:


yeti vs trex:

orbs:

astral travelling:

they even had giant test tubes for giants to carry humans:



Kuwait has one of the dopest resteraunts I've been to: Slider Station - a burger bar, themed like a car workshop, serving really tasty mini burgers via the medium of a yo-sushi style conveyor belt.



Great staff (complete with mechanics jumpsuits), Awesome food, Sweet little vibe.


AND....

HIGHLIGHT of the TRIP....

They seem to still love the old school arcades over there.

I found this little gem upstairs in a Lulu centre.

The keen eyed and 80's children amongst you may recognise Yeti getting his youth back with a blast on Stryder:



...and wifey doing damage in whats gotta be the only Ninja / Dog partnership game in history - Shadow Dancer:



Both ultimate classics - and the "built for dwarves" factor of the machines only added to the fun.

All in all - worth a detox trip to search out the gems.
