EEEEWwWwwwwwwwwww
“Just get on 30 and head North,” my friend told me, and then proceeded to give me further directions. It’s really easy.”
My hands started sweating as soon as she mentioned 30, and I couldn’t even hear the rest of her instructions. I wasn’t ready. Even though I had driven in Qatar for three years, when I arrived in Kuwait, it was a whole new level of driving madness. My first trips were Saturday mornings to Fehaheel, when everyone else was sleeping. Slowly, slowly I built up my courage, and maybe a month or so later, I got on 30. Later, 40 and within a year, there wasn’t anyplace I couldn’t go.
Starting over, it isn’t taking me so long, but after being gone a year and a half, the aggressiveness of the driving in Kuwait is still a bit daunting. This morning, Friday morning, I did get on 30 and drove into Salwa to go to church.
EEEEEEWWWwwwwwwwwww!
How can you live like this???
The stink! The STINK!!
How long has it been? Hasn’t it been almost a year since the sewage plant stopped functioning? Where is the fix?? It must be murder on the beaches, and it is surely hell to have to get up to that STINK every morning.
What is the forecast for fixing this problem?

My guess is never. And yet they have enough “excess capital” to give every Kuwaiti $1000KD.

That’s just it, Ken! I know Kuwait can afford it. I love the current celebration, and I love it that we were part of the Liberation, I don’t mind celebrating by giving a bonus.
Kuwait can afford to give every Kuwaiti, even newborn Kuwaiti babies 1000KD, surely they can fix a sewage plant? Where is the outrage?
Mark posted a YouTube performance excerpt from Kathy Griffin’s performance in Kuwait in which she said that Kuwait smells like one big giant fart:
Kuwait Smells Like a Fart
People were offended. Perhapsee she should have changed the word “fart” to “methane” to appease those who are easily offended.
Sorry, I find Kuwait’s stink offensive (not only physically, but in principle). You still can’t swim in front of the Movenpick at Bidaa. Rumaithiya smells like a cattle farm. I don’t even know what the new Messilah Beach Hotel is going to do with the stank (should they ever open).
Sometimes you just want to open your windows to get some fresh air and then …. EW! Shut them! Shut them!
Clean up your act, Kuwait.
Oooooooooh! Be careful Desert Girl! Someone might SUE YOU for expressing your opinion!
You are right, it is a crying shame, shame, shame. The stench makes life miserable for all citizens, including Kuwaiti citizens who have to wake up each day slapped in the face by that stink.
It’s not that hard. It takes funds, focus, and commited problem solvers with a timeline. Lord have mercy – GET IT DONE!
(Now they will come after me, too, LLLOOOLLLL!)
