We look forward to hearing from you!

Actually life in Kuwait is quiet ok. Except feeling bored in my spare time and weekends since I'm alone here and have only work colleagues but not a friends to go out with

Surely life is changed here as I become diebetic and very lazy also . Back home I was health freak n alert. Always . But there is negative and positive side of every aspect of life , I become more poorer than my country also but I have found happiness here so I decided to live here , there is some thing special about Kuwait which cannot be described in words at all .

Trying to renew a driving license has become an absolute nightmare. As a westerner I am not used to being shoved in the back by people as they decide the queue is not for them or being shouted at for trying to obey and follow the law rather than drive without a license like some.

I have a great job, work with great people and have a lovely home here. But everything between my flat and my office is a complete nightmare I can only escape from at the front end of a Qatar Airways or Emirates plane 10 minutes after take-off..

The driving here is obscene. I do not leave home unless I absolutely have to. The bureaucracy is not only bad but oppressive with the only effort ever made by any official being to make one's life hell.

The only time I enjoyed driving in Kuwait was sunrise on the weekend along the Gulf Road.  Every other excursion was a nightmare and often I neglected to go out of my flat because of traffic.  I did though plan an escape from Kuwait once a month.  Used that mini-vacation like a carrot to lead me through the rest of the month.
