Gundam? God Damn!


We had Grendizer, which wasn't very popular in Japan ironically. They had Gundam...

Anyway, recently an 18 meter high statue of Gundam was constructed in Tokyo.

I think it's so cool how other countries care about iconic statues.

What do we have here in Kuwait? the Avenues? lol

I so desperately would like to see some statues here in Kuwait,

an old fisherman diving into sea for pearls, right in the middle of Safat Area,
an traditional bedouin statue 10 meters tall in Salmiya,

I want to see horse and camel statues...

anything! I just want to see any form of expression of art in this freakin' country! and those silly arches on round-abouts do not count!

Gundam? God Damn!


it moves as well!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/kslash/3704704282/

I dont think you will see any here. The idea it self is not allowed. Look at Kuwait Towers, enjoy it, and say El Hamdo lelah.

Even if by some miracle the goverment pushes for a project that would erect statues relevant to Kuwait's cultural heritage, you can be sure that many idiots will make it their live's mission to deface and destroy these. I can already see that idiot Rifaie dude with all his primary-color-ridden pamphlets being distributed door-to-door and with major newspapers.

If the New York subway could be cleaned, so can kuwait. I think you'd be surprised at how Kuwait's youth will react.


this is just my optimistic point of view
