I applied for an educational conference for an International Baccalaureate course that I teach called Theory of Knowledge, usually know by it's acronym of TOK... and received the okay from both my bosses, Jim the Director and Jim the Principal... otherwise known as J&J or "The Jims"... I had two choices, attend one in Paris or the other in Kuwait... being that the conference held in Paris was at the same time as my MUN conference in Israel, I chose Kuwait... easy decision... I ...
Kuwait City, Kuwait cotafamily4Despite 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 ...
Kuwait City, Kuwait edward.pan... luxury hotels and lush parks set along wide avenues. The city's major landmark is the Kuwait Towers, visible from the harbor where oil tankers come and go, docking alongside hundreds of cargo ships and pleasure craft. Kuwait is now regarded as a relatively safe destination with plenty to interest the traveller, not only in Kuwait City itself but throughout, from its arid desert plateau to the fertile coastal belt and the nine small offshore islands over which it has sovereignty.

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.

They did bring in a small portable unit, but it didn't do much other than get a little airflow and condense a whole bunch of water on the walls and floors. It is amazing how slippery tile can be. Stay tuned to find out what the temperature was in the morning.
Fahaheel, Kuwait nahury1... that the car-park was already full and continued to admit vehicles. Well that wasn't going to stop me getting a parking spot, driving a BIG 4x4 is just not a problem and with the complicity of the car-park attendants I simply parked up on one of the kerbs (nearest to the terminal of course, can't have to walk too far can we?). After leaving the car we started out towards the terminal, when we were met by a very ...
Kuwait, Kuwait witsinkwHi again everyone! I've been doing some training on Checkpoint ops and a range, so I haven't had a chance to update recently. I'm doing fine, we finally got a morning off! not really anything new to report, just that Christina tells me that the address that I have on here might not be right, more on that as it develops. I hope to soon have a digicam, so when that happens, I'll make sure to put more pictures up on this for everyone. I'll update again when I can.
