Insider's view

The Bread Man at the Iranian Bread bakery in the Old Souk. The waiter (below) insisted that I take a photo of how the bread was made. As you can see, the dough guy was more than willing to pose. Today my friend CR and I were the only women in this part of the Old Souk restaurant around noon. The waiter, a very friendly chap, took good care of us and was willing to pose for a final shot. As CR says, "As long as we've got plastic on the table, it's a good day."
The meal included two lettuce salads, iranian bread (see above), hummus (probably the best i've had in Q8) and a wonderful lamb/rice dish.

We were also given an insider's look at how carpets were repaired when we wandered by this carpet show and watched a young man seeming to "paint" a carpet. When asked, we were told that he was "applying medicine to the carpet" (cleaning it). The owner then asked us inside his shop, which we thought FOR SURE we were going to be given the "but for you I have a special price on this carpet" speech. Instead, he wanted to make sure I also took a picture of the young man sewing on this carpet.

It was a good day to have a camera in Kuwait!!
