Hello everyone,

Old clichés die hard, as the saying goes... and living in Kuwait can generate lots of misconceptions in the eyes of the people.

What are the most common misconceptions about the expat lifestyle in Kuwait?

What are the most common clichés about life in Kuwait in general?

Did you have a biased view of the country before moving there? What is you view now?

Thanks in advance,

Priscilla

Well life in Kuwait is not that much easy as it looks from out of the box. I can say only money is not everything for the life, you cannot buy peace from money, life once gone cannot be recalled.
children education is not up to the mark, Families remain bound to the flat only, as of very very hot summer,
the work stress is too much, you have to work on different areas of work all though you might be professional in one thing, you need to adopt yourself with the organization. professional work does not occur multitask things.
i have seen people in struggle all the time, nobody I met who can say he is happy and want to stay for ever, every body want to make Kuwait a launching pad for Europe countries.
