Hani the Painter
I found out about this guy from my cousin. Hani is a Korean painter that can paint anything on your wall (assuming what you request is legal). My cousin wanted to paint a portrait of the main character in Nightmare Before Christmas on his wall; the guy did a great job of duplicating the photo that was on the computer.
He also painted the ceiling with the galaxy, something to stare at while trying to fall asleep. It took him one day to complete the whole thing, around 3 hours and charged KD 45 for everything which I think is pretty reasonable. I might get him to paint some of my walls with cookies, something to stare at while trying to fall asleep.

Before you go fishing you need to pass by the fish market to buy some bait, we basically just got a few kg’s of shrimp. There are other options but shrimp is the most popular. It didn’t cost much, the shrimp shouldn’t cost you more than KD 5 in total for a 3 – 5 hour trip. You will also need a
Fishing line’s vary in length, material, and weight. The thicker the cord the stronger it is, thick cords are used to catch big aggressive fish like the

It took me less than 10 minutes to catch a fish on my first try. Sadly the fish was too small so we had to throw it back whilst it was still alive. You can see the metal cone which is what pulls the cord down under sea like I explained earlier. What’s annoying about the cord is if you catch a fish it will tangle up and takes a while to untangle and throw back again. Experienced fishermen don’t deal with that though.
The amount of bee’s at the middle of nowhere took me by surprise. There was an unusually large amount of bee’s regardless of what area we were fishing. So much so that they started disrupting whatever I was doing. I didn’t mind the small ones, but when the big ones passed by to say hi, my facial expression was of distress. I asked about the bee’s and the guy said this is the first time he encounters this issue.
The area we first settled in didn’t get us much, mostly small fish that we threw back or even worse, a stubborn catfish. Then we got a phone call about an area that’s good for fishing at the time. After we moved over there it was just a matter of minutes till I caught my first decent fish. Although that thing looks aggressive on the photo he wasn’t that hard to catch. Had already imagined him on a plate with rice.
We caught a good share of fish, 3 different species. In total there were around 12 fishes and I caught about half of them. I’d say I’ve done pretty well on my first go. The boat we rented from
Alas, it was time to eat the fish and it was really good, not sure if it was my subconscious mind forcing me to think that way since I was the one who caught them. I’m definitely willing to do this again with some friends. It’s worth noting fishing needs a lot of patience and depends on luck a lot of the time. My next objective although maybe impossible is to catch a Zubaidi.

Well this should be enough incentive for a robber to ditch the cash and go for the machine itself. The machine “Gold to go” made by Ex Oriente Lux dispenses gold bars instead of cash. Dubai actually has 6 gold atm machine’s not just one, two of them are in Burj Khalifa. The ATM is connected to the internet and updates its rates every 10 minutes.[
