One of the most distinct architectural expressions in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world, the Kuwait Towers are a cultural icon and a symbol of how geographically small nations can achieve great things. While there are three spheres and three towers, not all of them are for storage. The first tower is 140 meters tall and supports a water-holding sphere. The second tower is 180 meters tall. It also carries a restaurant and a cafeteria. The third tower has no spheres at all. It is used for lighting. The towers hold 4,500 cubic meters of water which then flows into the homes and businesses of Kuwait city. The design is excellent, being both very modern and very Arabic at the same time.

ahhaha! my plane! almost home! just 15 hours to go... (this plane took us to London Heathrow on the way to JFK. I was excited. I could finally buy some cool music and music mags... right? they gave us 40 minutes. we got off the plane into the terminal, went through security. walked for 15 minutes. walked right by where the cool stuff was because our plane was "boarding". walked another 15 minutes. went through security. and ended up exactly where we got off. to get on the same plane we just arrived in at the same terminal. they made us walk in a circle in order to go through security twice..)
