And The Search Continues
It’s only been a couple of weeks in the new apartment, but we have already decided to find another place. Just small things, the other folks in the building being noisy, and the harris not being reliable when it comes to doing something when he says. A few hours late is one thing, but 3 […]
New Apartment Woes
After finally finding a place and getting the price correct, we are now finding little things that are irritating us. The washer, for one, doesn’t work the best in the world and sometimes gets stuck on the cycles. Secondly, the stove was changed out for an electric one, but there is no outlet in that […]
Does the Kindle Work in Kuwait?
Has anyone seen a working Kindle in Kuwait, as in dowloading everything over the air and all that good jazz? The choices of magazines and books here kinda suck, and I was thinking of getting the Kindle to read the books I purchase. I tend to get my books from Amazon anyway. Magazine subscriptions rock […]
Commissions on Apartment Rentals
Thanks to some lovely comments I have found several sources to finding apartments, in addition to what I already knew. The one question I still have is this:
How much commission is usually paid to someone who helps you find an apartment?
I found a place I really like, and these people say their “finders fee” is […]
How To Find Apartments in Kuwait?
Are there any decent websites or information repositories online regarding apartments for rent in Kuwait? Apartments or full floors, either one is fine. I’ve found some sites but they show full villas with an insane amount of space and rooms. That’s a little overboard, hehe. Any suggestions on a website to visit, or a publication […]
Kuwait Worried About Homosexuals in School
This is completely nuts. Making lists of “suspected” gay and lesbian students in schools, observing their behavior, arresting gays and lesbians on sight (this was a verbal order by the way), all to stop the “phenomenom” from spreading. This is being handled in a completely ridiculous manner! The people that came up with this wonderful […]
The Kite Runner
This book has finally been made into a movie! It had a limited release on December 14, 2007. There were delays in the release upon concern for the child actors in the film. I hope it comes to Kuwait, but I am not sure how much of an impact the censorship would take on the […]
Blogs From Kuwait
It is always nice to read options from those who live in the same area or region as yourself. Through a website called kuwaitblogs (aggregated link here), which I managed to find from the wonders of Google, I have came across some sites that have caught my eye. Instead of listing them all at once, […]
A Friend
Friend. Companion. Someone you can confide in. Someone who looks out for you. Someone who tells you that everything is going to be OK. - Samuel
That is how I define a friend. Everyone has had at least one person in their lives they can call a friend. I cannot count the number of people I have called […]
The Story So Far…
With every new blog comes a new story… I’m Samuel, and this is my (our) adventure so far with a small bit of history included:
I’m 24, American, Muslim, and live in Kuwait. I have been here for a few years and plan on being here a few more. In July of 2007, with the power […]
