KUWAIT. part 1.
after 3 hours of hanging around at doha airport, we finally embark on our last flight of the day, from doha to kuwait!
say hi to 2 travel-buds ive gotten myself for the 2 days, charles and keli!
land of friendship? not quite living up to its claim, i'd say.
the airport is almost like another retail experience, with debenhams, starbucks and even the athlete's foot. i was really amused with having the athele's foot for a shop's name and venkat was amazed with cup&cino - think cuppacino.
scurrying our way out of the airport, guess what was waiting for us!
keli was lamenting that he's already loving the life of an expat, until the person who received us actually told the limo to reverse, cos our minivan is awaiting in front. i didnt manage to take a foto of the minivan, partly cos the person was rushing us and the other? go figure our disappointment, ha.
on our way to the hotel
we stayed at holiday inn at samiya area, which is very near the coastline!
i thought you might wanna check out my room!
Funny thing is how all of us got different types of rooms. josy, keli and my rooms are totally different! but yeah, keli's room is almost like a suite!
Keli's room!
holiday inn scores points for providing moisturising lotion and conditioner! the hotels that i usually go only provide the basics - shampoo and bath, but be warned that the weather there is really dry, so please bring lots of moisturiser and lip balm!
even though i was really tired and felt kinda ill, i went along with the guys for dinner at 7pm, which was 12am in sg time, since i need to get used to the local time. (but i woke up at 3am, pfft.) i ordered a carbonara - but my food looked rather bad, as compared to what the guys ordered, i found it too dry, just ate a few mouthfuls and im done. even though alcohol is not allowed in the country, they do serve non-alcoholic beers from budweiser and all. none of us try it, but according to venkat, who tried it before, said that these beers taste exactly like beer, except that there's really no alcohol content, or so they claim.
nonetheless, the food is priced pretty reasonably, ranging from 2.9kd (the carbonara) to 7kd (the steak), which is roughly 15sgd to 35sgd.
check out the guys' food!
are you hungry yet?
and look at the contented duo, charles and venkat!
that's all for my first day at kuwait! more to come!
