A friend of mine in UAE want to come to kuwait in his car , and i wanted to go on a road trip for a long time
So i go with a friend of mine from kuwait to UAE , right now i’m in the UAE , i have one thing to say about that road
Its sucks
All the way from kuwait boarder till you get to UAE boarders just suck
Sands and sands and sands , and then more sand
They are building more road , but still like over 70% of the road is a 2 way road ( which suck when you are stuck behind a truck or you get someone trying to overtake the truck on the other side )
The drive from kuwait to Sharjah took around 15 hours , i was driving the first 13 hours ( my ass hurt a lot )
and some part of the road in saudi weren’t in a good shape which didn’t help much either
I just wish there was some kind of ferry that take you from kuwait to Dubai
i saw on Top gear program on the BBC a clip and they went on a ferry from newcastle to norway , and they said it was a 13 hour trip , but the ferry had beds and it had resturants

Shy can’t most kuwaities keep time ?
So i’m on a traning course now , the course should start on 9 am , 1/2 the people attending are from the government , so it mean they have to go to work in 7 am
Why can’t they come to the room before 9 ? why is it we always start at 9:20 or 9:30

one of the stuff i wanted to do when i went to the usa was to attend Comic-con , and this year i did
I was using a laptop during the trip , and for some reason the laptop had problems ( later i found out that the keyboard is a bit lose and kept pressing buttons i didn’t press in the first place
well now i’m back at kuwait i’ll write what happened in my trip , and part of it comic-con , its an experince that was fun and enjoyable
Any way this is Wednesday July 13 which is Preview Night
i had to go register and pickup my badge to enter the convention center in the next days
Since downtown San Diego is crowded and parking is hell to find ( everyone mention that , even the convention site mention it ) i went and got on a trolly
so i went to one of the station , located at Qualcomm Staduim
and got on the trolly
After getting off the trolly at the station next to the convention center ( see what planing can do ? one next to a staduim and one next to a convention center , thats what we should do in kuwait )
any way , i get off , and wait at the signal to cross the street
after crossing the street its line to get the badge
after a few time waiting i get the badge
Then i went to check what people were setting up in the hall
I found Jason Salsbury author of online comic Pet Professional
He had a mini comic printed for the con
and got him to sign it for me
and thats not all what i got from there , but i’ll leave other stuff for other day reports i’m writing :p
