Hi everyone,
I'll be there in Kuwait second week of Sept. My boyfriend will be coming on December to visit me for like 2-3 weeks. His an american (US army) and im from asia. Do you think we'll have a problem staying in a hotel or if he comes to my accommodation? What are the major difference between Kuwait and Dubai? What are the good places that a tourist can visit in Kuwait? Thank you. Cheers, Jelly

if he comes to ur accommodation and someone reports u, ur in trouble.

hi, legacy.what do u mean by saying yes ...? if im on a residency? what do you suggest? does it mean its a risk if he comes to kuwait?

the laws of the land are quite clear:

if you are under residency - i.e. have a valid residency in Kuwait, you are subject to these laws. these laws try promiscuity as a severe crime (Kuwait is not like Dubai), you cannot walk into a hotel room as two unmarried people and simply cohabitat, you follow? however, if you are both visiting Kuwait, then you are not under the laws of the land (technically) and hence can cohabitat.

does this mean everyone in Kuwait is a good little Saint? Hardly, can this be circumvented? most likely, do i know how? not likely :) i'm just giving u the facts as i know 'em.
