I lived in Kuwait for 2 years. I work as a housemaid. I have amazing employer & I'm very happy with that. I miss them a lot. Especially the kid I sit with.

Kuwaitis are really not that rude about filming because snapchat celebrities in Kuwait are like youtubers in UK and are really popular. Gaining millions of followers.

Your vlogs are so realistic and you do show the part of Kuwait that people mostly ignore...they think Kuwait is full of rich people and everything is Dubai basically, where the real deal is it's versatile, we have that luxury places..and we have the normal...and the cheap...basically..We were progressing up till the 90's... then everything started declining or at best...stopped at 1999... so thank you for the honest review of our country...and thank you for your kind words I appreciate your effort sir

I was in Kuwait back in 2000 and I’ve told all my friends and family watching the sunset over there was so awesome. It’s a beautiful site

[abolghasemamiri]

The sad music over the part where you fail at making a friend... I felt that😂

[BaytJohar]

Ive lived in kuwait for 18 years and moved to the UK for uni, i didnt experience much culture shock because i went to an english school and we were pretty well educated about what to expect. But this video really showed a side of kuwait that most expats dont show like the whole bus thing, ive never ever taken a bus (probably because its not a good idea to do that as woman) but it doesnt look that bad, i dont know why only labour workers take it. Ive been trying to understand how to take the bus in the UK and im starting to get comfortable with it. I think its such a convenient way of transport! I totally love this exchange of views on each others countries 👌🏼👌🏼

I was born and grew up in Kuwait, then was back there from 2009 - 2012 working. My parents moved back here a couple of years ago after living there for 40 years. Kuwait has changed so so much, from when I was born, to after the invasion, to rebuilding the country in the 90s, to the 00s to now. In the three years I was there from 2009 to 2012 it changed loads, and visiting my sister about a year and a half ago it was different from when I left in 2012. I love Kuwait and it has a very special place in my heart, but for me I will always love the Kuwait of the late 90s, when Johnny Rockets and Fudruckers had just opened, and when Al Bustan mall was the main shopping centre. Love it!

I am an Indian and reside in Kuwait.. Kuwait is such an awesome and blessed place. I am thankful to God for bringing me to this beautiful country.
