ist zwar viel mit komischen schriftzeichen, aber es gibt zwischendrin nen englischen text. hier noch mal auszugsweise:
KUWAIT CITY, Feb. 15 (Xinhuanet) -- The biggest kite in the world, which has a 1,050-square-meter size, was flown over Kuwait on Tuesday as part of Hala February shopping festival.
According to the official KUNA news agency, the kite, taking theshape of the flag of Kuwait and estimated for 25 meters long and 42 meters wide, was flown 60 meters over the sky in the Flag Public Square center of Kuwait City.
Abdulrahman Al-Farsi, owner of the kite, was quoted as saying that he was able to break the world record with the size of the flying kite, which was 633 square meters.
"The kite was manufactured in a factory in New Zealand, with the use of about 2,500 square meters of textile, 10 kilometers of ropes, against an estimated cost of about 9,000 Kuwaiti Dinars, which equals 27,000 US dollars"
