Hey guys and gals of MFK :D

I know I've been away for a very long time, it's wasn't really my choice, I miss this place a whole lot but I've been extremely busy and I still am, but I can't it anymore LOL :headbang2

Right after I got done with school I joined the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research, their 32nd summer training course for high school and college students. I applied for Biology (out of Biology, Microbiology, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Chemical Engineering) but wasn't lucky enough so I went for the next best thing, Microbiology. It was one of the best experiences of my life over there, truly amazing!! and what really strikes me is that it's totally FREE, and even our food is free, imagine how much it costs to pay for 300 students, 6 weeks of equipment, food, transportation... etc.
I'll leave you guys with the pictures now.

This is the inside, there are endless halls with offices and labs, it was fun running around and messing for 6 hours a day. :ROFL:

I did this one for you guys, I tested fish tank water (right after a water change) for bacteria and fungi. The 3 petri dishes on top are the bactria, not too bad! and the 3 on the bottom and fungi, overgrowth.

Another thing that I did during English class. :ROFL:

it's not really a "school" it's actually a lot better than a school, it's an institute for scientific research, a place where we can actually learn some real science and not school science. :D
