Leave a comment

As i wrote before , my DVD where held for inspection , can’t have children watching dora the explorer

While at the Airport i passed by the MOI office for them to inspect , and check what i saw there held up

books in custody

books in custody

books in custody

Oh boogy boogy ! ” house of Bush ” , ” Truth about angels ” , ” DA vinci code ” very scary stuff ! its not like they are in virgin for years

One other thing
i checked with some friends who have Aramix and they seem to have the same problem , everything is held up and they have to pay more for it
And one freind claim to have called DHL & FedX and they told him the same thing , that there is a new law which they started using that every shipment should be held ( and you get to pay extra for it )

Its not like i need more incentive to stop buying original DVD

Gambling and highway robbery or you could call it airport shipping

Yes its gambling
you order some DVD and you gamble , it either just reach your house and you won , or it got stopped by customs and pay 10 KD ( official charges )

and its highway robbery , one of the payment was 1 KD to the ministry of finance and the bank charge you 2 KD for each payment !!

So i order 2 DVD , and 1 Book , youshopcustomhold call me

anyway i got to the airport , there are two buildings that were not there when i went there last time ( around 1997 ) and they seem to have doubled the paper work
pay a KD here , 3 there , 6 there , then to MOI office in customs , funny thing is i found some stuff there ( i’ll post pictures later)
anyway when i reached customs he tell me the paper says 3 DVD , there is 2 DVD and 1 book , and i nearly blow up in his face
and before i perform an uppercut on him he show me the manager officer , who was kind and understanding , he fliped the book ( most to check if it has some bad stuff mostly ) and stamped my paper and i was free to go

4.5 hours is the total time it took me to take out 2 DVD and 1 book from kuwait airport , if i one day own or run a company , i’m not going to get any stuff from airport , i’ll get a representative

yeah let put the huge employment center to work

i’m sick of watching armies of the world in every place , floods ? army trucks
floods in kuwait ? 6 hours waiting for renting dozers

so i was watching CNN today , and they had some guy from the UN who said there is not country commeted any soliders for the mission in lebanon

here is an idea , lets send 1000 , rotate them each 6 month , lebanon is close , arab country so the soliders of our great army woudn’t have problem speaking with people there
its close , logistic wise is not hard ( hell lets train the logistic department in the army , they haven’t move anything for a long time )

its south lebanon , good weather maybe enhance the Gene pool ?
