Hi all,

After what seems like months I have my Visa and flight details and fly out to start a new life in Kuwait this weekend.
Sure its going to be an unsettling few weeks....xmas alone not going to be particularly exciting.

Looking to make a new circle of friends and enjoy the culture and everything else there is to appreciate.
Be great to hear from you guys

Look forward to meeting you all soon.

I'm sure you'll have a million questions once you're here, (and have gotten over your jet lag). If you need any help, feel free to ask

Adding my "two cents" - Welcome! Enjoy the weather and watch what you do. After living several years in the UK I find myself still on the lookout for "foreigners" as it's easy to be one wherever you go. Feel free to make arrangements to meet up - I've been here four weeks and am not missing Manchester too much just yet. Every day is like a match day over here - particularly the traffic in Salmiya!

Would love to meet up with few of you guys to build circle of friends.
I.m 46 married 3 daughters but wife and kids in UK for foreseeable, lonely christmas lol, also trained chef but now working for Alshaya

Drop us a line if you fancy coffee or somethin greayt to hear from you and thanks
