The Balloon Shop Fakhera Alkuwaiti

During his long awaited vacation to Thailand, the author found himself squeezed in a small economy class seat, while one of his old schoolmates was stretching out his legs in business class. "How come?" he asked himself. The author had graduated at the top of his class in college and was working in a good job, while his friend hadn't even finished school and was working in his father's toy shop. The answer came clearly from a cab driver in Bangkok, who simply pointed out that "Business class is for business people". This incident rekindled an old dream the author used to have since he was a little boy, dreaming about playing with as many toys as he wanted. He made the decision to start his own business. Come and join this carefree and easygoing author together with his hardworking and driven wife on their adventure to start and run a small business selling balloons. They meet interesting people, learn new things, travel to China and even get sued. But how successful were they? And just how much profit did they end up making?
