Second Cup Al-Bustan Complex: Day madri cham

Back to my coffee house hunting thingy that I haven’t done for a while…

I didn’t like it here the first time I came here. Maybe because of World Cup back then…

But now, I started to like it abit… I actually was able to stay there for 9 hours straight without complaining… Why? You’ll know later on =P

Good things happened:

*   Around 1mbps Internet connectivity for 1KD the whole day… The card says (24Hours) and by that it means you can connect any time in the day you bought the card… Thats just it.
*   Nice and fun staff… Cheerful… Won’t bother you with whatever you could add to your stuff like how Starbucks people keep you standing for such a long time asking you if you want to add stuff while naming every single things (which seems countless) while your mind is fixed that you just want black plain coffee.
*   Decently nice stuff and goods… I don’t mind their black coffee… I actually love it (though it costs abit more than what it should cost).
*   For some reason, my seat is ALWAYS free!!!
*   Not so crowded considering its spot, In front Sultan Center and next to Al-Fanar…

Bad things happened:
*   Songs selection sucks, although its the complex songs.
*   The restroom is down stairs… So I have to leave my stuff and go all the way down…
*   Prices are abit of higher than decent… But it’s ok… Internet is GEWD (Well thats what I think).
*   Lack of parking spots… Though you could park in a place which requires you to walk for around 5 minutes…
*   The place is so open and the tables’n’seats are really close to each others… But I don’t really mind, my spot is KEWL.
*   Lack of sockets… Which means you’ll have hard time to recharge your laptop if you didn’t choose the right spot.
*   Smoking is allowed inside…

Quality:
*   Goods aren’t that special… Though they’re not bad too…

Atmosphere:
*   Abit of quite… Good enough for me to actually think…
*   Two TVs, one of’em with sport broadcasts (The one that I’m forced to watch because its somewhere in my vision) and the other with MBC Action (The one that I force my neck to twist so I could watch what they’re showing).
*   There’s alot of smokers inside… Or maybe its just my bad luck…

Notes:
*   If you’re a non-smoker, take your order and sit outside… It’s not that hot anymore…
*   Tables are higher than my arms level when I lay back… If only tables were abit lower (5cm~15cm).

Conclusion:
Coming here is fine with me now… I used to hate it because I was abit of frustrated about the noise and not-so-special goods… But now I like it because of the internet offer (Which really gets me)

It’s not a big deal… So I still wonder why people make a big fuss about it?
