I like seeing old pictures of Kuwait..

As you would know, after the Gulf War, Kuwait was like in a time capsule..everything kind of just stopped in time, actually stuck in 1990..

But now, things are slowly changing to the better (yet, maybe not as rapidly as some would like).. the Infrastructure is being transformed..we’re seeing more high rise buildings..

However, the real question is: Is change better?
