With the mercury increasing as the summer sets in in Kuwait, bloggers are busy looking for distractions this summer vacation.

Among them is Zdistrict, who goes on a trip to Kubbar Island. He writes:

This was a bit of a hot weekend and going to Kubbar didn’t seem like a bad idea, I wanted to jump in some water too cool off. Took about 20 minutes to get things ready on the boat, and waiting for a few people before heading off to Kubbar. It was hot as hell on the deck, and I wanted to jump right into the water but the water in the Marina is somewhat disgusting so I opted out, instead I was rubbing ice cubes on my head which melted rather quickly.

Meanwhile, Desertgirlkuwait goes on a trip to Kabd. She describes her outing as follows:

Kabd is pronounced “chebd” in local dialect. “Chebd” means liver in Arabic. Don't ask me about the correlation. I don't know.

Since the government bulldozed the entire Funaitees area off of Fahaheel Expressway (30) where most of the farms used to be, almost the entire former population has moved their farms to Kabd. Nobody (except for my friend, M, whose wife kicked him out of the house) lives in these places as they were intended for agricultural use. (When I say “agricultural” I mean “party”.)

Chillnite goes to the Kuwait Aquarium and writes:

Over the weekend we decided to visit the Kuwait Aquarium located in the Kuwait Scientific Center. One word ‘Fantabulous‘…

If you are bogged down by the heat, or over stressed with work, or would like to let off some steam…just drop by at the aquarium.
