THE SECRET GARDEN PROJECT - EVERY SATURDAY




"We're getting ready for you at The Secret Garden, and this is what you'll need to get ready for us! (The bananas are only for demonstration purposes, please feel free to branch out on snack options). Don't forget to bring your kids!" - The Secret Garden Project


"The garden has needs, too! Show your love by donating any of the following; peat moss for the soil, tools (anything from old planting pots and watering cans, to nails and hammers), old shoes make great planters, and last but not least, artists willing to spread their love anywhere they find a suitable surface!" - The Secret Garden Project

"Join us today, and every Saturday, 9am - sun down at the Secret Garden. Bring your gloves, and energetic spirits! THINGS WE NEED: people who don't mind getting dirty, a bottle of drinking water (each), large bins with lids, tools (gardening or otherwise), chemical-free soil, your used coffee grinds, love... and last, but not least, YOUR KIDS!" - The Secret Garden Project

Discover America Week was organized by U.S. Embassy recently that gave an opportunity for people to experience American culture, music, food, fashion, cars, and movies and seminars on business talks. A lot of American brand shops and restaurants at Avenues Mall participated in 'Discover America Week' event. A spectacular car exhibition showcasing American muscle and classic cars were held at Historical Vintage and Classical Car Museum. I've put up a separate post on that.

COZMO SPRAY BOX DANCE BATTLE PHOTOS

Last Friday, on October 24,  my friends and I attended this interesting dance battle competition 'Cozmo Spraybox' at the football stadium right beside Sultan Center in Shaab, near the Shaab park. The enclosure where the dance competition was held was decorated with really nice street art and graffiti. The participants were amazingly talented, each giving their best. By the time it was semi finals, the there was big crowd cheering and supporting the dancers.
