Hi people!
Most of you know, we arrived here 2 weeks ago and so far really enjoying everything...except one thing...the extreme heat, we cannot sleep well at all.
We have air con, but it does not stretch upstairs to the bedroom.
Does anyone know a place we can buy a fan to put at the foot of bed?
We tried Ikea at the weekend, but no success.
Please help : )
Thank you

I've read that they have a store called Landmark, which is like a like a walmart or target ( if your familiar with US stores)

To piggyback off of Kayvictoria:  Do they sell the portable air conditioning units that you don't need a window for?  Also, do you know how much they cost approximately?  I love to keep my bedroom cold at night and since I will be living in a shared apartment, I doubt my flat mate will share my love of frigid air conditioning.

omg Kay glad to hear ur sort of ok :D i was worried u decided against Kuwait :P

Ikea wont store electronics, what u need to do is find ur nearest X-cite branch, there is one in Marina Mall, theres also one below Ikea at the avenues. they have fans of all shapes and sizes that are bound to hit the spot.

as for lme's question, theres a contraption that produces cold air upon being fed cold water, those are also available at X-cite.

ksfm landmark used to exist, but it was a clothing retailer, nothing to do with electronics, and now it has been rechristened as Centerpoint.
