Procedure for permanently leaving Kuwait
I am trying to find out the required steps for turning in my residence permit and leaving for good. Most importantly, will I have to show proof that I don't have any debt like an unfinished phone contract. Does anyone know of any resources? Read More
Stand Up Paddle Kuwait by socal434
I have tried a quick Google search but didn't get results. Is SUP a popular sport there? Is there any shops? I have a board and want to bring it with me if I won't be able to purchase one for a good price there.
Jet skis are always buzzing me when I go out. They never to close but I think they are just curious because I never see any other boards out there. Read More
Living in a Hotel by socal434
There is a job opening that will be coming up in the future that will be an excellent career move for me but I may be stuck living in a hotel for awhile while waiting for a compound to open up for my company. It won't be so bad being in the hotel ...
I figured that would be the case. I live in Kuwait now and it is a little strict with the dress and socializing rules in public and at public beaches but at the hotels the women can wear bikinis and talk to whoever they want. I guess I will be ... Read More

Where to eat in Kuwait (for foodies!) by tinataitlyn
Hey guys! I am a foodie and being from NYC doesn't help. I have tried trip advisor and other similar sites but there weren't too many options so I am going back to just asking around. Restaurants with good ambience cease to exist here so I am ...
where is this restaurant exactly? I want to try it out!I second that, but minus the waiters hands in my food Read More
Embassy parties by britinkuwait
Hiya everyone.. Just registered on this forum on the hope to find some friends from my own region or anyone in Europe who does love the socialising as much as I do. I'm particularly interested to join my own (British) embassy parties or any other ...
The American Embassy does happy hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays from around 5 until about 9. It's a pretty good time but you have to be escorted in by someone with a pass to the embassy. My wife told me the Hungarian Embassy will have a wine ... Read More
Activities, hobbies, things to do in Kuwait - add suggestions! by tinataitlyn
When someone complained about being bored here in Kuwait everyone is always so quick to point out that there are plenty of activities but no one ever mentions a single one! I'm a city girl who can't be bother with sports or other outdoor ...
I'm going to learn to scuba dive, I am doing online school, running, and GoKarts at the track by the airport on the weekends. I am always trying to find new things to do. Read More
Co-Op in Kuwait by socal434
I went by the Co-Op in Fintas to check it out and it looked like an abandoned building. I have heard that the Co-Ops have really good prices in order to cause competition for Lu-Lus and Sultan Center but are there nice ones around the Fintas to ...
The Fintas co-op is not cheaper than Lu&Lu, I would suggest exiting on 208 and shopping at Lu&Lu as they have a lot more Western products than other stores.Lu-Lu's is where I have normally been shopping. I like all the produce they have there. Read More

Tipping here in Kuwait by socal434
What's the general rule here. In Hungary where I just moved from, nobody tipped ever for anything unless you liked the place and frequented it. What about here? I don't want to ruffle any feathers but I also don't want to throw my money away. ...
Thanks for the advice. The whole Kuwait forum is full of the most helpful people. Read More

The other side of the Kuwaiti postcard by Julien
Hi, As a tourist in a foreign country, very often, we are enchanted with what we discover. Living abroad is different. It's a rich experience but there are also some difficulties to face. When people ask me for advice on living abroad, I ...
I'm still pretty new here but I do enjoy the driving and how you can just park pretty much anywhere with out worrying about getting parking tickets. A lot less bullshit to deal with than the US. On the other hand food can be very expensive here so ... Read More
American Money ATM by socal434
Are there any out in the city that anyone knows of? Or is it just wishful thinking?
yes mon ami; the NBK ATMs in Salmiya definitely do this; the one i am sure of is opposite sportsman, right next to Eureka. However, you would be getting it at the bank exchange rate - which puts you at a loss. a better suggestion would be to take ... Read More
