P.O.Box 1332 Ardiyah, Riggea Area Kuwait City, Kuwait, 821111
... fit for a sheik, that we were served during the long days spent at the conference... and hanging out on the world's largest wooden boat, which happened to be the site of the conference reception, held after our first day of training... It is a beautiful work of art that is dry docked on the coast near the conference facilities that hosted us... a stones throw from one of the many palaces for the Emir of Kuwait... My evenings were spent taking interesting jogs along the coast ...
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... a taxi to the City, which is about 20 mins from the hotel. We were staying in the entertainment area called Salymia. Our taxi driver Rasheed was a wealth of information as he drove us past various buildings and sites, he is also great because he uses the meter! Taxi's are rather expensive here. We saw the Liberation Towers (which are closed to the public) and were dropped off at the Gold souq. However, being a Friday and being Ramadan, most shops were closed or ...
Kuwait City, Kuwait raniroo... even has it's beer on tap. The Poms really do have the most civilised navy in the world. No doubt there will be rules in force about no drinking, but I still wouldn't mind going for a visit anyway. I don't know who broke a mirror while kicking a black cat under a ladder, but we had the worst luck on the last patrol. Of all the places in the world to be, we had to be in the Middle East when not one but two of our Air-conditioning systems went down. It was horrendous. We ended up ...
Kuwait City, Kuwait jock298I've finally made it to the Military Airport in Kuwait. It's late, I've been waiting all day and the C130 was extremely hot and uncomfortable. We get briefed and I don't see Wes anywhere. I get the impression that I might be stuck for the night. After we get released for a meal, I ask one of the guys at the desk about Wes and whether or not he made it out. Apparently he was already on his ...
