the bottom line of living in kuwait

i think Eleanor Roosevelt said it best: 'Life is what you make it. Always has been, always will be. ' for the longest time, i was also a naysayer, and strictly believed that kuwait was a working country. home to work, work to home, crash on the weekends, hit the malls etc. i was raised here, school life was awesome (so long as you are not in those all girls or all boys schools, thats just nasty), i went abroad for uni, got my degree, and came back here. life changed. all the friends from school, being foreigners here too, were transient, and ended up on different sides of the globe (thank you facebook for keeping us all in touch!), so the question was, what to do here? i learnt at an early age that i for the first couple of years of my professional life (on my fourth now :D) i will always be the runt of the litter, so it was hard to find like-minded people to enjoy similar acitvities with. not to mention i was busy studying for a certification, which, fingers crossed, should receive word from them soon on whether i have passed or not, wish me luck! the point is, alot of people have the wrong idea about kuwait. you can have tons of fun here. retail therapy heals all, and ive been going for a few sessions myself! theres even a health conscientious aspect to kuwait, the terry fox run is done every year, just this week there was a 10K marathon, on the 27 there will be a walkathon from the yacht club to green island, and in january there will be a 21k marathon. if you really want to enjoy kuwait, get yourself a gmail email, and cruise the blogging scene. trust me, that is where the best news is. i found out about all the activities i am currently involved with through blogs! sports, cycling, and i even picked up dance here. so enjoy it :)
