I know sounds like a movie doesn't it? But no that is actually my local these days! You see as you can imagine the social front here in Kuwait is pretty barren. It's not like you can pop down to the pub for a few beers after work or anything. Also all there is to do here in Kuwait on your days off is to shop and when your trying to save money that's not really an appealing option. Not to mention the hassle of dealing with the bed sheets running around the place! So as it happens the last few Fridays I have been hanging at my mates Sherry and Steve's place.
The best thing about their apartment is not only do they have a fab view but also that their couches are just divine in that they cobble you up and its fairly difficult to move out of them. The other great thing is that they have a fairly well stocked bar! So a usual Friday for me (which mind you is my only day off) is to get out of bed at some ridiculously late hour, scoff down some breaky and then head on over to the their place where we spend the afternoon watching movies, drinking and swapping mad Kuwaiti stories.
Last Friday was a particular excellent day as Mads and Mark who have returned from their holidays also come over to enjoy the most happening venue in Kuwait. Of course after we watched Australia get slaughterated (yes that's a word I made up) in the cricket we got all patriotic and watched Mad Max hahahahaha what a dramatic piece of work that is!
So that's just a peak at the exciting happenings here in Kuwait. It is actually pretty good as the above mentioned folks are champions and my life in Kuwait would be god awful if it wasn't for their fabulous company!
Just a quick note to a few folks back home:
Congrats to Rose and Ian for tying the Knot. I hope the wedding went off with a bang and enjoy your trip around Europe, I am sorry I couldn't catch up with you any where.
Good luck to all those competing at the Australian National Surf Life Saving Champs. Not sure if they have been and gone or coming up but good luck any ways I know you guys will do great. By the way I expect some emails with the stories from Aussies as I know they are all ways good ones!!! What mischief will Jaz get up to this year? hehehehe
