Being there ... August 23rd

Friday, August 23th

Our first full day in Kuwait. We're jet lagged a bit but still managed to go grocery shopping after lunch. The store was huge (three floors) with everything from food to electronics to clothing. Our 7th floor two bedroom apartment is fine; we see the gulf from our living room window and from our small balcony (I mean very small - no room for chairs). Here are a couple of pictures of what we see from our balcony.

Looking towards the gulf.

We're close to a highway. You can see the gulf in the background.

Tonight, we went out to our first restaurant for dinner we some fellow teachers; a lebanese place in the Al Kout mall (http://www.alkoutmall.com). The mall was very beautiful (what we saw of it) and we finished the evening sitting by the water fountains, that we briefly see at the start of the video (if you want to watch it).
 We came back home by 9 pm, dead tired, as we are still adjusting to a 7 hour time change.
