Was thinking about the Liberation tower and all the other large buildings we have in Kuwait and the on
es I been to around the world. It seems that most developed countries have a landmark sky scraper that
is in the center of every city where people can go and and look at the city. Such as Seattle with the
Space Needle, Toronto with their tower, London has that ferris wheel etc.

These structures bring lots of tourists and attractions around it. People come from all over to pay a
premium fee to go and look at the city and take pictures and say “ooh and ahh”. Yet in Kuwait we have
none of that.

It seems like the goverment doesn’t want to show off our city afraid people will notice the faults and
problems. I dont understand it, when I go to any office building in Kuwait that is high up I love loo
king at the city. It gives me pride and joy to see all around Kuwait. You notice everything the old an
d new side by side. It gives you a glimpse on how the city has grown over the years and is still growi
ng.

Kuwait needs to fix up the Liberation tower and make the saucer to a nice restaurant or coffee shop pl
ace. Same with the water towers, the coffee shop up there is depressing, it could be a great place to
just go and hang out. I haven’t be to the restaurant there in ages but last I recall it wasn’t somethi
ng to recommend beyond the view.

We have a lot of great locations and landmarks that are not being used to their full potential. We are
working on the water front and fixing that area up with a new sidewalk and shops and places to eat, b
ut they dont have an cultural or artistic merit. Though I will leave that discussion for another day.
