Wednesday, September 18th - Four weeks already

It's been four weeks already since we left Canada on a plane to start this adventure. Since then, we've lost about 10 pounds each, and no, we haven't been working out! Everyday has had some interesting parts to it, be it at work, as visitors in a very different country, or emotionally, or all of these at once. I believe that things will become more routine as time goes by. Our planned trips will surely keep us going. Speaking of which, we might be able to travel for our week off in October (11th to the 19th). Hopefully, we will have our civil ID by then, which would allow us to leave the country and come back into it to keep working legally. If we don't have our civil ID, we would have to come back on a visitor's visa, which doesn't allow us to legally work (our work visas become void as soon as we leave the country without a civil ID). So we'll see. We're hoping to go for fingerprints and medical exams Thursday or Sunday (final steps for civil ID), and from there, the papers should be ready in approximately two weeks (or so they say). We really don't have much control over that (actually, none at all) so we're not going to worry about it. If we can travel, we'll go somewhere; if not, we'll visit Kuwait City and travel the first weekend after we get our civil ID. All we know is that we'll be going somewhere, sometime. But for now, I'm going to bed! The adventure continues tomorrow!
