... I boarded my flight for Doha, Qatar... many hours later I arrived at an airport designed around a huge Duty Free shop with hoards of people buying everything from watches to cigs to gold jewelry...  after a sleepless night of wandering around the short corridors I boarded my next flight to Kuwait... arriving at 3:30 a.m. Took a quick taxi to my hotel, The Movenpick...  checked in and headed off to my room with the sound of morning prayers wafting through the leafy oasis of the ...

Despite the turbulence of its recent history, Kuwait today is once again beginning to reflect its status as an oil-rich nation. In 1990 Iraq claimed Kuwait as its 19th province, but the Iraqis were expelled by a United States led alliance in a short war in 1991, and now the country is separated from its threatening neighbor by a wall along its border. The ruined capital, Kuwait City, has risen from the ashes of war to become a buzzing metropolis with gleaming high rises ...

And with the Hilton being closer to the city, it is a quick trip to eat at restaurants up there as well. Back to the Hard Rock - a great deal - all food is 50% off during Ramadan. At least one good thing during Ramadan. Met up with my old technical manager from my chemical plant days. Wasn't expecting to run into him over here.

Our new home - ain't it great? Not only do we have air conditioning - we have better TV station channels, internet, and better restaraunts.

We went back into the city to pick up my colleague's bag at the airport. After 3 days, he was happy to see it. This also provided the opportunity to eat dinner in the city, as ...

... packed down. We left the grounds for the nearby road to hail a taxi and gradually realised we were also left stranded because no taxi's were driving past. An hour passed. We started making phone calls but didn't get results. An indian man waited nearby at a bus stop... for a bus that seemed also never to come, when a car drove past at about 50km/h and suddenly its passenger leaned out and hit the Indian guy hard with a cane.

... a taxi for a half hour into central Kuwait, where the downtown area is. I saw alot of interesting buildings and houses on the way. We stayed at a place called Ghandis palace. Mike took me to some of the malls and to starbucks (they have quite a few of starbucks) and we went out to dinner for some authentic Kuwaitian food. During the evening we would venture out and run errands around Kuwait, going to shopping malls and grocrey stores. EVERYTHING is closed from 1 in the afternoon until ...
