Where I live

So, Kuwait City is huge. The roads vary from pure sand to 6 lane highway. If you go to google maps you can find the area of Mahboula in the city. That's the general area where I live. I walked to the gulf today with friends and collected some of THE most perfect and beautiful shells I have ever picked up! Now some of you may know that I love collecting things from the seas/oceans where I visit. Well, there are no fields of grass here, just fields of sand. Imagine the self-restraint I had to use to leave it all outside! lol....As future pictures will show, I am in a developing area. There is a lot of building construction going on. If I strain hard and on a clear moment, I can see PART of the gulf water between the buildings outside my window. I don't think that even can be considered a "partial" view. I see it daily, though. As you can imagine the Hiltons and the other posh hotels charge a fee to join their beautiful beach places and gym facilities. Speaking of being POSH, I learned that this is truly an anacronym for Port Out, Starboard Home. So, that's where all the good seats are, evidently.

My kitchen in the sandbox.
So where do I live? IN a HUGE HUGE HUGE sand box. There's sand EVERYWHERE! grins....and gulf warm warm warm water......and for now, I'm ok with that!

  2. Nice apartment. Plenty big enough to invite all your colleagues round for table tennis, too. ;-)
