Comments on: What are you doing with your KD200? http://www.248am.com/mark/interesting/what-are-you-doing-with-your-kd200/ A blog by Mark and Nat, a married couple who are living in Kuwait.

It is little wonder, therefore; there have been a record number of bookings from Kuwait this year on trekking expeditions in the Himalayas, the Andes and for river rafting on the Zambezi - all thoroughly invigorating experiences. Why am I not surprised then, people are making a beeline for good book stores, Broadway and the opera. Can a KD.200 top-up voucher also partly explain the explosive spurt in Kuwait based subscriptions to the Harvard Business Review and the Economist? :) Giving them the benefit of the doubt; the govt’s intention, this time around I think is to get more people to spend these cash hand-outs on “life-enhancing experiences” and developing of core competencies.

It was a bad idea from the government. They should have used all this money to improve the country than giving it to us knowing that most of us will just use it to SHOP ! Hopefullyu they wont do this mistake again, they already did it twice.. Other people need it more than me, so I donated it to feed the poor in Ramadan..

But there's too many of us :D. It's great to know that some of you responsible people out there are using it for a good cause. Unfortunately I have a feeling the majority will either find some materialistic use for it or spend it without realizing that they even got it! I wish my country gave me 200KD.
