But we got to go shopping.
This is a parking lot at the Sharq Souk (Market...which was really a mall). They have coverings! It's right by the water, but of course, there is no picture of that because I ... didn't take one. Quoi?
This is people waiting. We did a lot of that. This is actually at the end of the day, but how would you know that? Excited to go home.
After having yet another HIV test! Except this one hurt like nobody's business. And it definitely FELT like a third world country. There's no cushy Canadian Blood Services at this place. See the sad faces?
This was the expat line. Note the cute pictures of families and of Kuwaities.
What's wrong with this sign? (Grammatically, not semantically). Although the cute picture that went with it had a baby in a womb saying "Please them them about me, Mum!" Darn, should have gotten a picture!
Going to get x-rayed.
Smile! See the Kuwait flags.
This is some buildings in downtown Kuwait City. Since the war was so recently, so many of the buildings and streets are so new. Also, because of the war, there is so much construction everywhere. It's not strange to see holes in the sidewalks or large piles of sand!
Hopefully soon we will all be officially residents of Kuwait :)

I look forward to your experiences of the day. You are having quite a few of those, and you haven't started teaching yet...I am sure you will have more stories to tell us once you start interacting with your students.
So, do you need any Toidy paper yet? Tea? T....ons?
Carolyn :o)
Katie...I got mail from you today. Which caught me a bit off guard..because it was definatly sent from Graftontownville :P Thanks!! You are the best....and I know what you mean about us being really loud in less loud cultures ;) Remember the train.........we'll always have the train.
well, maybe just some monistat ;)just kidding. i can get that here. but you'd be surprised - we can pretty much buy anything here! there are different stores, cheaper to more expensive, and the sultan centre has more selection...but it's also the most expensive. but i bought some spiced gouda dirty fingernail cheese, just as comfort food ;)
toilet paper is in abundance here.
