I visited Kuwait city for 3 days for a job interview and loved it. My host was fantastic taking me around showing me the city and I loved the pace of life there.
This photo was taken from the harbour where we took a boat out in to the sea for a few hours to relax after a long lunch.
I didn't get the job but I can assume I wouldn't have had many lunch breaks like that if I had worked for them.

This is the sight I hate the most in Kuwait - people going through our building's garbage bin for useful rubbish. This guy's mostly found cardboard, which he's stacked up on the ground in front of the bin, but we've taken to bagging cans and bottles separately cos they take those too. Sometimes we come out in the morning and half the garbage that was in there the night before is now scattered around on the ground.
The really horrifying bit is the thought that Kuwait is a land of opportunity for these guys. Kuwait's a land of opportunity for me, because although it's a more restrictive society than New Zealand I'm getting paid twice as much for easier work. But for these guys, Kuwait is a land of opportunity because even if your day involves dredging through people's garbage, it's better than going back to the country you came from - now that just doesn't bear thinking about.
