So I was with Mark & Nat earlier in the night in Kuwait City just wandering around. It felt strange cause I dont think I have ever been down their on a Sunday. It was always something you avoided cause of the traffic and the influx of expat workers there. Also due to the fact that most of them are Indians it gets known as Mini Bombay.
It felt I didn’t belong there, I didn’t see any other Kuwaitis or Arabs for that matter there. Of course they were some Arabs but they either were working there or had some hole in the wall sheesha place so they are always there and dont count.

And like when ever I have walks down in Kuwait City I feel ashamed for they are some amazing places there, you feel like there is a city thats waiting to just explode with life and culture. Yet those locations and centers are either mismanaged, left for destruction or just forgotten. They are some hidden treasure like pieces of land with rundown apartment buildings, and even open squares and parks that asking to be cleaned up for people to just sit and relax in.

I really hope the Baladia’s project to rejuvenate the city isn’t just so they can build high rise office buildings and parking lots. For if they need to put some apartment buildings there. People will live in them and you will see a rebirth in Kuwait City. Things will be right next to each other so you dont need to take your car from parking spot to parking, You will be able to walk down from your apartment and go to work, shop, eat and have a good time. We won’t have to think about our commute or how bad traffic will be cause you will be just there.

I myself love the feeling of just knowing its walking distance where I want to go. Its a great freedom and one of the reason I love visiting bustling cities and really hope Kuwait City becomes one.
