I just read a horrifying article written in today's Alwatan newspaper about a man who had all his toes cut off !!The article states that two Pakistani men along with one Bangladeshi man had committed this horrific crime because of a dispute over a sum of 6000 K.D. The police caught two of the men while they remain searching for the third person. I was in utter shock, I could not believe that someone would do such a thing to another; how can they be so cruel and heartless?

Maki

Last night I went to Maki for an early dinner with a friend of mine. We called just twenty minutes before our arrival to see if they had any seats available; they told us that they were fully booked and that there was no way for us to get a table but we kept insisting on getting a table and so they finally agreed to have us there and told us that we had to leave before 8:30. When we arrived we were shocked to see that the place was almost completely empty! What was all that fuss about? They made it sound as though the place was packed and that there were barely any seats available. It made me start thinking about how bad their management is and how every time we call its as though they are over booked. Why would anyone want to bother with them when Edo, Wasabi, Sakura and tons of other Japanese restaurants would gladly take customers? I have to admit though it was my first time going to their new location and it is somewhat better than their old one, the food was good but I’m not sure if I’d want to bother with them anymore. Which reminds me, I've heard so much about Fusion and have been wanting to try it out but unfortunately my friends and I are clueless as to where it's located so I'd appreciate it if someone could help us out, thanks ..
