How this place changed my life — 1 year ago
Kuwait..ahh..good old Kuwait. I come from a Palestinian home but my dad and mom moved to Kuwait in the 60’s till the early 80’s for work. My mom was a housewife of 5 children and my dad worked full time for an American Life Insurance company. I was born in Portland, Oregon in 1984 and flew back to Kuwait when I was only a week old. I remember it though, I ended up living in Kuwait for 5-7 years before it got invaded by Iraq. I have to admit though, it was so much fun. When the invasion happened my family and I were in Portland visiting my college brother and sisters. I remember having to write a paper in middle school about your home. And ended up witting it about Kuwait and how Saddam Hussein should be assassinated and swore up and down that I would some day enter politics because to me, i felt like Kuwait was my real home and Portland (even though i was born in it) was my 2nd home or my visiting home. Remember, i used to fly between Portland and Kuwait every month with my mom. Oh gosh, what a beautiful memory. I’m dying to go back and see my old house.
