Merhaba!

This episode is the first one of our outstanding trip to Turkey, February 2012. It’s a 10-day trip in three different cities, Istanbul in this video.

Hope you enjoy it.

Bonjourno!

This is some footage of a one-day trip to Rome back in July 2011. Here I recorded our tour to The Coliseum.

Enjoy

Episode: Horse Race in Budapest

Peace to you

Here’s another episode of my trips. This trip was in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. My Hungarian friends invited me and my friend Ibrahim to a horse race which was for free but was a great experience as it was my first time ever to watch a race live. How intense we become when we’re actually in the race field.

So as I stated in the video, out of mere coincidence—well I don’t believe in coincidence—there was a Kuwaiti rider! Unfortunately we couldn’t say hello to him. I’m sure we were the only Kuwaitis there!

The experience was very nice and the audience were all people from the countryside of Hungary, kind of traditional Hungarians.

I hope you enjoyed. Thanks for being here. Shine your lights!

Salam Group, Kuwait

Salam means peace in Arabic. ‘Salam Alaykum’ is the greeting of Muslims, meaning ‘Peace be upon you’. Salam Groups is a concept developed by Dr. Salah Alrashed to reinforce peaceful life philosophy around the world.

The concept has started back in 2009 on Dr. Salah Facebook page. As part of Salam International, a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading peace, love, and enlightenment, Dr. Salah suggested that every group of people within a certain city gathers once a week and just have a walk together wearing a blue scarf. The blue scarf represents peace and oneness.

In less than a year, Salam groups have been growing. As for now, there is a Salam group in more than 30 different cities around the world! Starting from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia (multiple cities), Palestine and Israel (multiple cities), Algeria (multiple cities), Qatar, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Egypt, Tunisia, Singapore, Paris, Morocco (multiple cities), Sudan, and others.

Episode: A Day in Vienna

Hallo! That’s how they greet you in Austria.

It’s been SO LONG since I posted a video. Well here’s one from my last summer trip to Austria. We visited Vienna for 3 days.

I am not a fan of crowded cities (such as, Vienna, Paris, London, etc.), I’d rather go to quite villages and experience their culture. But anyways I like it and I like the weatherrr!

I went with my dear friend, Ibrahim Alqattan. He never showed here because he was the cameraman.

The building we were at was an aquarium in Vienna. It was about 9 floors and we were at the top of it. The view was amazing!

Episode: Château in Saint-Émilion

Salam.

I visited the beautiful little town of Saint-Émilion with two friends, Rania from Morocco and Noor from Lebanon. Rania is fluent in French, and that was very helpful.

This footage was a visit to a château inside a cave where they produce different kinds of wine. No I don’t drink, thanks for asking.

Episode: Me Playing Piano in Kandy

Hello there!

This is me again playing piano in a hotel in Kandy (Sri Lanka). Actually, although this was the crappiest hotel we stayed at (it was 2-star), we really enjoyed its atmosphere and simplicity. We had this band that I showed in the first video singing for us for about an hour. And, the buffet was cool and very simple. And most importantly, they allowed me to play their piano haha

So, I know, I’m not that good, but here I go. Enjoy.

Peace.
