Starbucks in Kuwait International

Well I'm sitting in Kuwait waiting for my plane to Sydney. Enjoying a Large Iced Machiato and taking advantage of the free wireless. ::Banana::

Just being in Kuwait City is quite the unique experience. Even while being in Iraq, my day to interactions with Iraqi's and Middle-Easterner's is pretty limited.

The biggest thing that pops out at me is that there is smoking inside the airport, although not very many people do it.

Kuwait does have a very luxurious feel to most of the city. The weather and terrain just plain SUCK though.

Can't wait to get to Aussieland, the girlfriend's there waiting already!! :D

Best Regards from Around the World,
Chris

Since about August. It's crazy to leave the 50 square miles that I have been working in since then.

You see any camel spiders? A friend of mine was in the initial invasion in '03, and had some horror stories.

I saw a couple towards the end of last summer. I don't think it's warmed up enough yet for them to come back out in force.

We've only seen them in the hangars. If we stayed in tents I'm sure we would see more vermin.

Camel spiders LOOK scary, but I don't think they are actually that dangerous.

Wicked!!

So what you're saying is that you're going from those camel spiders to Australia, home of 7 of the 10 deadliest spiders on Earth? Step lively!!

Enjoy the R&R... you've more than earned it!

There's way too much for me to see in my lifetime just here in the USA, so I'll be staying here, thank you very much :D

Besides, other countries scare me :(

Enjoy the R&R. I know if it were me, I'd definetly take one whole day to soak in the ocean till I get prunny. Oh and you can take a Honda Intergra Type R for a spin.

Like I said, have fun, you earned it.

I think you're trying to say cojones... Unless you're talking about bean... then you'll need to use the term cajones... Until the BUR runs again, he's still el rey de los cajones! Oh, yeah... probably should pick on Sargeant Dingle, too... He would be cojones azules...

Thanks fella's.

In Brisbane now. I was looking to rent something interesting when I get back through Sydney. The most interesting I could find was an Elise for ~$300 a day. I wish I could find a place to rent a Skyline still.
