Wooo Kuwait
I arrived at the airport to find an escort holding my name. Maybe its just a little embarressing for a traveller to have someone help them through the customs/visa line, but I soon got over my pride by getting in the front of all lines and by not directly paying for anything (as the company was hired by my mother).
Once out of the airport I started to notice all the men wearing scarves, and just really all the men. Where are the women? While driving in the car I notice virtually no women in any of the many cars we pass in heavy heavy traffic going to the coastal road.
I got everything settled in her huge place and we went out to lunch and grocery shopping.

This grocery store has everything, imported and local.
Don't forget to weigh and get your produce priced before going to the check out.
The store also had clothing and stationary, and things you might find at a store like Target or Walmart (on a smaller scale of convenience).
I suggest opting for any brand with an Arabic name over brands you might see in the US because they are probably 1/3 of the price of imports.
This restaurant is located in the Marina Mall in Kuwait. It is very modern in its decor. The seating is tiered and the tiers are separated by paper grass. The menu boasts colorful drinks and mock cocktails flavored with syrups. The caesar salad has a thick mayo coating, so know that. The mint hot choc was great.
The placemats and anything else is made out of plastic with gel inside, like a kids toy, was kind of goofy. Wish I took a picture.
