My boyfriend is working in Kuwait and I get to see him every 5.5 weeks for a few days so I want to send hime some parcels.  As ive not been out there before can anyone give me any ideas of things you miss from the UK and that you cant get over there?

Thanks:D

u mean we miss when it gets to our customs?!? lol pretty much everything, if u mean what you dont have in Kuwait that you have in the Uk, hmm lets see, bars, bubs, music clubs, nightclubs, casino's, gentlemens clubs, we have plenty of shopping malls and restaurants, u cant go hungry in Kuwait period! :P

Yes when it comes to the awkward customs!!!  Apart from the obvious alcohol, bars etc as I cant send those through post.
I like to send him parcels of things he might miss, but it sounds to me like you can get all the little things.  Im going to struggle with my next parcel then lol :/

why not?!?! why cant u send them :P

i'm guessing anything from Harrods should do the trick, hmm perhaps cocoa dusted almonds ;)

and spellin mistake it isnts bub lol its pub, it sounds funny just saying it hehe

I would love to send some small bottles of alcohol etc over for him but wouldnt want to chance it.
Yes you could prob be right about the harrods thing, I did send pink champagne truffles last time which he loved :D

It must be so boring without pubs, bars etc and just having things to do apart from shopping and gym!!

naaa dont worry about it u'll be fine :P most of the action happens in the embassies its a little bit formal but you can drink and party as much as you want, or villa's and houses, my advice to u make friends with people from the UK embassy in Kuwait, u can get what u want when u want ;), just dont forget poor old me :( sniff sniff hehehe

brooks091183

Oh really, I'm not sure he would want me to send any lol lol
But still if he got chucked out at least he would have to come back home to me!! :)
I think it slightly different for locals in Kuwait about drinking etc, it's about who you know etc?
I wish I could get a job out there, I've been looking for ages so I can move out there but no luck. I don't think the embassy can help with that one??? Lol

Don't forget you?? Lol what do you want? You after my special champagne truffles too? Lol:P

Arch_T

maybe.... ;) how did u know?!?! hehehe damn ur good!! :P
