Kuwait

Another business trip took me into Kuwait, but not quite into Kuwait City. I wasn’t really prepared for the barren landscape on the road from the airport into the suburbs. Should probably go back to do a little more exploring…

I will be moving to Kuwait soon (in about two weeks). I’m a little apprehensive, but also quite excited!

I was in Kuwait for a year. I got to spend a lot of time in Kuwait City, and I really liked it. The people are great, and there is plenty to keep you busy.

I was there in 2004 (overnight) and 2005 (5 days) Again, it was passing through because of the war. I really didn’t see that much. It was hot with a lot of sand. Kuwait City looks ultra modern, at least the airport did.

I’d like to go back.

maybe if i saw more, but the time iwas there wasnt for tourism.. i saw sand sand and more sand… oh did you know its hot and cold there?

My profile photo is from my last night in Kuwait. We ate at a restaurant and smoked the best hookah. The guys at the restaurant were very friendly and the food was excellent. Seems like a very interesting city.

It was very cold. The weather is around 16 celcius day time..at night is even colder. Off course I need some time to adapt as I’m coming from tropical country where it is only rain and shine..

...I went to Bicdonalds and the Sharqe mall!

i was born here! :) yes… it made my life!

lived in kuwait for 11 years… then moved to bangalore, india in ‘93.

yes… i stayed thru the gulf war. it was generally peaceful in my lil town – salmiyah.

A country so rich in non-renewable energy sources that they opt to import labor from dirt poor countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, etc. Often the workers are mistreated, ripped off, and afforded little recourse to defend themselves. This country has nothing going for it and must adjust its economy or else it will be in for some real rough times when oil becomes less in demand or runs out completely..
