Landed in Kuwait - Life in the Sandbox!

Ready to start a new adventure in a new country! Here's a peek at what Kuwait has to offer:




While my school is located in Hawaly, closer to Kuwait City, I live a bit further south, in Mahboula. Of course, we have a mosque super close so we never have to worry about oversleeping ;)


The main housing is in two tall apartment buildings, Dina & Dana, called the Dunes, but there is also an annex right next door. It's a bit smaller, but cozy. That's where I am.
























 I can make a home anywhere. but I have to admit, this is the first time I absolutely hated a room in my house: this kitchen - YUCKY.

However.... I LOVED my bathroom!!!!
I even had a pair of doves that nested outside my kitchen window ~





Here's a glimpse of the oil refineries - on the way to the "chateaux" of our students' families



And the big city lights!


























But the main attraction in Kuwait? The Avenues Mall, of course!












I much preferred the beach!!!  Spending a day outside of the Hilton ~ heaven!





















Or a day out with new friends






















Even if I did lose at bowling!


                                




















Cool School Time













A Chihuly in a mall??

Al Sharefa Park







 And PINKBERRY!!!




Guess what I learned here in Kuwait?







No trophies our first year, but we kept practicing!!!!




Just call me Krazy-eye Kathy!!!












Good Friends ~ Good Times
