On the go in Kuwait


I should really blog more often. Usually this only happens when I have a free Internet access in the hotel. Radisson SAS is always a good choice, but here in Kuwait it's quite far from the city. Apparently Sheraton has free Wifi as well because that's where I'm currently staying.
Yesterday I walked 6 kilometers in a brisk winter weather. The temperatures range between 12-20 centigrades at this time of the year. Kuwait, as other ME oil countries, has a lot of immigrant workers from India and Philippines. This means that the streets are lined with Western Union lookalikes and international phone call centers. They say that in three years this will be like Dubai. Well, they must hurry up. Even alcohol might be legalized then. FYI, NA means non-alcoholic.
