Can a teacher expat have a second job (part time) in Kuwait? by fcharafeddine
I did some research regarding this and many people mentioned that part time or second jobs in Kuwait where not allowed. However a recent article in Kuwait times said that expats will be allowed to have part time jobs in Kuwait. Is this true? I was ...
Most of the teachers I know work doing private tutoring. They make as low as 5 KD and up to 20 KD an hour, depending on the subject. Read More

Are there short term furnished apartments that allow cats? by GuestPoster326
Hi All, Can anyone give me some advice? Perhaps someone else has had this problem. We will be arriving in October with our three cats. I don't want to put them in a cattery but we obviously can't stay in a hotel with them. We really need a furnished ...
There is a woman who runs an animal rescue here in Kuwait and she may be able to give you at least some direction. She loves animals and so maybe she knows where to point you. Look on facebook for a group called "Become a Foster Guardian - you're ... Read More
How to make friends in Kuwait? by morningdue
How can one meet new friends in Kuwait outside the work circle, especially someone who is a female? I think it's somehow hard to come across new people in Kuwait. I noticed small cultural communities are closed to others who do not share the same ...
One I found on facebook and the other through meetup.com. Also, in the back of the EEK magazine are listings for all kinds of classes and groups. To find a church I just did a little research. I knew since last November that I would be arriving in ... Read More

I joined two groups that focus on expats and it has kept me busy and allowed me to meet new people. I've been here not even a month and I have gone to several bbq's, a house party, out to dinner numerous times, with some friends to a shisha place ... Read More
Calling all bookworms! by J-Dizzle
Hello! I'm back. My question is the same: are there any bookworms out there? If yes, what are you currently reading? I am reading Haruki Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. And if anyone's interested, my offer to start a book-club is still ...
Thanks for starting the group, I sent a request! Read More
Canadian in Kuwait by AllanlakasMrlakas
Hello there, My name is Allan and I wanted to introduce myself. I am 29 years old, from Peterborough Ontario moving to Kuwait in 14 days to teach a grade 3 class at the Kuwait Bilingual School, despite the negative reviews I've read about the ...
Concerning the heat Ally, I am fair skinned too and it hasn't been that bad. Plus I am in my 40s so I get extra hot. However, once it is dark and you can eat and drink in public, it is actually kind of nice, if you absolutely cannot stand it - ... Read More

My oldest son was so difficult, I would have to take him for a car ride sometimes to get him to sleep. You know the rule: Sleep when your baby sleeps, because they don't sleep on your schedule so you must sleep on their schedule. Read More

Hi Allan, I have just arrived and will also be teaching. My one piece of advice is if the building you will be living in does not come with internet, make sure bring books to read or dvds to watch (you can get dvd's cheap here). The heat has been ... Read More

Oh I was thinking it was like some sort of cover up, like something wet that is flesh colored and then you put it on and it dries and covers up the tattoo. But now that you point it out, I am surprised I didn't realize she probably meant band aid. ... Read More

Does anyone know of a kind of "plaster" that you can get here in Kuwait to cover your tattoos? Someone here said that is what some of the workers used, but she didn't know any more information about it. Read More
