Hey lovely followers,
Sorry we've been MIA the past week, but now we can tell you all that in fact we were in Kuwait city! Only an hour and 15 minutes away via Fly dubai (ticket prices vary between 500 to 700 AED, depending on the time, day and luggage), the city takes you back to a time when Dubai was still young and developing, the cities still dusty with Sharjah architecture, a hand full of sky scrappers, and recently highway 5 was renamed after Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler of the UAE.
We must warn you that Kuwait isn't what you would expect its actually some what dilapidated and could defiantly do with an complete overhaul especially as their sewage system exploded a couple of years ago and the stench of rotting fesis still lingers in the air!!
However three things that Kuwait does has to offer that Dubai lacks are:
1) Their Americaness, and by this we mean from cars (everyone or at least one person in each family needs to own a GMC or Tahoe... its a given, a law passed down from generation to generation) to the amount of US brands, eateries, accents and even cop cars and toe trucks.... all American.
2) Food, boy they know how to cook them selves some good grub, from Makhi sushi to sliders burgers or all american dinners such as the Breakfast club... yum yum yum!
3) Malls, Al Shaya sure knows how to present the ultimate in shopping experience. A must see is the Avenues mall and 360 mall along with many of the smaller boutiques such as Pink Moon dotted around the city. Here you can find great buys from Quay sunglasses to other cute fashion pieces as Free City sweat pants and T's (www.pinkmoonboutique.com) a definite must....
Another amazing coincidence is that many clothes which are not on sale here in the UAE or are deemed to be best sellers are likely to be on sale in Kuwait due to their conservative nature. We were able to pick up some goodies from REISS and Topshop Kuwait which aren't on sale here but were there:
