Tiger Tamer to Kuwaiti Paedophile

I was searching for a story i saw in an email about a Kuwaiti man who captured a tiger which was drawn to his herds of sheep while in Saudi Arabia, but stumbled upon this instead. A Kuwaiti man caught in the beginning of the year in Pattaya,Thailand for forcing an underage boy into performing some unimaginable acts. How low can people stoop?

Maldives Under Water Cabinet Meeting

Anyone who has been to the Maldives will rave on about the crystal clear blue oceans, the amazing diving and the most luxurious of resorts in the world. Boasting the worlds first “under sea restaraunt” , they now can also add the first under water cabinet meeting as well.

The Maldivian president and ministers held the world’s first underwater cabinet meeting on Saturday, in a symbolic cry for help over rising sea levels that threaten the tropical archipelago’s existence.

Top Gear’s Scariest Moment

As Richard Hammond explains in this article here, usually the questions he gets from people are about which is the best car he has ever driven. But here, Hammond talks about the scariest Top Gear moment which was during their episode in Alabama on their American Road Trip. Where as you can see from the pictures, they put slogans such as “Man love rules ok, Hillary for president, Country and Western is rubbish and Nascar sucks” on their vehicles and drove through a hick town full of angry rednecks. Of course, some of it was caught on camera for the episode but he continues to talk about the rest of the ordeal.

Hai Bali

I never thought one day that I’ll go to Bali, not because that I didn’t want to but didn’t feel the need to do it since I already explored most of southeast Asia. But when you have a free one … hey why not :). So I packed my bags and decided to go, and with all the problems I faced before leaving (ticketing issues and even a bruised 5^th metatarsal) I wasn’t going to miss such an opportunity.

Situated strategically, the weather is much better and cooler than in other gulf countries, lying between mountains and valleys in different bodies of water makes it ideal for many different excursions.

End of Year Getaways

Alot of people, myself included, do not prefer to travel during summer since everwhere is just packed and you tend to run into almost everyone you know wherever you go. So you’re stuck with the months from September to April.  But as usual I always have a master plan, being the resort and sun loving person I am, I would rather avoid the colder areas of Europe and the US. So the first stop will be in Mauritius, specifically the Four Seasons at Anahita. Its located South of the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean consisting of a large island as opposed to the many scattered islands of the Maldives.
