talking about something political , you may not agree with what i said but that doesn’t make your or my opinion not right

yahoo or google ?

Alot of people wonder who is better , since yahoo and google have a lot of stuff that are the same ( maps , search , mail ..etc )

Well , once i read news about Saudi Arabia protesting a bridge between Qatar & UAE [Aljazeera]
It made me sad, since well Saudi has no harbor there, hell I don’t think they have a city at the gulf in that section, the only reason that they don’t want the bridge is because Qatari people would be able to go to UAE without passing by Saudi

I went on a Road trip to UAE, in Dubai I bought a map for the road, the map wasn’t good, it didn’t even list the borders points between Saudi and UAE and it showed UAE direct connected to Qatar

When i Returned to kuwait , it kept bugging me , so i searched on Yahoo maps and found this [map] of Qatar with the UAE directly connecting to it

How could both a map company and yahoo both make the same misatke ?

so i checked Google maps and i found it right !

So in the Catagory Rgiht Arabic Borders , maps.google is better than yahoo maps

P.s: for some reason Google Earth doesn’t show it right also …

Kuwaiti in and out of Kuwait business

i was suring around the net and found Q8 Site and under ” our Businesses ” they had this

Retail Service Stations

KPI’s network of more than 4,000 Q8 branded service stations extends across seven European countries – Italy, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Belgium and Luxemburg.

Customers today expect a service station to provide more than fuel and the driving force behind all KPI’s products is the objective to meet customer needs better.

KPI is at the forefront of developing forecourt retailing by expanding the range of goods and services offered – serving the needs of the local communities and motorists. In some markets this is through establishing partnerships with other companies – in the Benelux an alliance with supermarket chain Delhaize provides a complete “mini-supermarket” service. Opportunities to link up with other companies to provide, for example, dry-cleaning and fast food facilities, are actively sought where they bring a clear customer benefit.

Car washing is an important facility for the motorist. KPI has one of the most advanced carwash operations in Europe and, in Denmark, is the market leader in this sector.
In most markets KPI has developed unique card payment technologies tailored to the needs of customers in each region.

KPI’s clear objective is to extend its innovative approach to retailing across the retail network

Good, you have an innovative approach, then why the hell isn’t it used on Kuwait? Most of you have seen how pathetic most of our fuel station looks like.

I went to the UAE, they have Great looking petrol station there, and you know what? WE DID IT FIRST OUTSIDE KUWAIT, but why didn’t we do it in Kuwait?

One of the things that is holding us in Kuwait is the “poor people ” mentality
What’s “poor people ” mentality you ask?

Its when you want to crack down on people who didn’t pay electricity bill , you will get leave the ” poor people ” , well , I’m sure as hell if we made everyone pay his god dam bill in 1991 its wouldn’t be in the thousands like now

Or when you try to enforce any law, for example when they wanted to remove shops from one of the residential area people started having ads in newspaper, and going we are “poor people “who run these shops

Not that Agree with the law that doesn’t let people open shops in residential unless it’s in a “jameyah “co-op (hell the law most was written from the “poor people who run the jameyah and wouldn’t get profit unless they have a lockdown on everything)
