Chicken, A Tissue, and [No] Pictures

February 9, 2008

Why is it that nearly everywhere in Kuwait people have problems with pictures being taken! Is it only in Kuwait? I don’t believe there was a problem when I was in the U.S. or the U.K. We could take pictures in the mall, in the grocery, nearly anywhere we wanted. It seems people here have problems with pictures being taken.

We were at the cinema in Avenues and I was testing out my new camera in the beautiful colorful lights. The cinema employer came running to us and said, “No picture! No picture!” I wasn’t that surprised, but what was the problem? There was no one around, and I was taking pictures of my friends.

I figured they won’t stop me, so I took a few pictures anyway. They turned out a little blurry but I have to figure out why, I’m guessing since it was dark, the exposure was on auto and the picture came out fuzzy. Hmm, I need to mess around with it a bit.

The next morning was fun, I walked out to go to prayer, and I saw the chicken that have been running around in front of our house for so long. I was going to post about them a long time ago, but there was no chance because it just wouldn’t be worth it without any pictures. Without further ado, here are the chicken of our fereej* after the break.

The following picture is of the predator of the fereej. Don’t worry, the predator is quite harmless and lives in peace with all the yummy chicken in the fereej.

But wait! You may ask what is this tissue you mentioned! Well folks, I had to test out the video aspect of my new camera as well. So I shot a video of a tissue wandering aimlessly. I was going to embed it here, but decided against it since pictures and a video would probably be too much, the video is only 20 seconds long, so go see it at youtube.

P.S. Fereej is another word for neighborhood.
