... 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 ...
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.panWell, there are more benefits of the Hilton. First, there are women in bikinis who are not related to the people at work. I didn't go to the Ramadan tent for dinner, but you could eat out on the beach. Now it is time to go home.
Kuwait City, Kuwait nahury1And 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.
Kuwait City, Kuwait nahury1Our new home - ain't it great? Not only do we have air conditioning - we have better TV station channels, internet, and better restaraunts.
Fahaheel, Kuwait nahury1... So it turns out that I was pronouncing Kuwait (Cue-wait) where the MENA locals pronounce it Kuwait (Coo-wait)....no wonder there was blank stares! I was at the right counter, and yes we could check in.....phew for that! A couple of hours later had us landing in Kuwait City. I was not sure what to expect from a city that had been ripped apart and recovering from war, albeit in the last 20 years.....after 2 days I was pleasantly surprised....this city is very ...
Kuwait City, Kuwait raniroo... came to an end and he was replaced by an American whose name I have not yet committed to memory. This of course meant that all of a sudden we had new ways of doing the same old things and the appropriate level of confusion was evident. Apart from Commodore Gilmore leaving, we also said good-bye to USS Normandy and HMS Argyle. They were replaced by USS Chaffee and HMS Campbeltown. This left us as the most experienced crew on station with the exception of the Patrol Boats who change out ...
Kuwait City, Kuwait jock298... No revolving restaurant for me. The first five floors at the base of the Tower are used for different Kuwait government offices. No one seemed to mind an obviously lost tourist wandering around the five floors looking for the tower entrance. I walked by the mayors office, school board, police commissioners office, etc....only to find the elevators not working and a sign explaining the observation deck and restaurant are ...
