You really catch the funny/stupid side of life in Kuwait. As a Kuwaiti, I like seeing a another perspective of my country. In regards to the segregation in KU, its just plain S T U P I D!!! I went to the Technology College for a year and it was segregated. Guys and girls still flirted and sneaked off. It just doesn't work. Whats going to happen when they go off and start working? They're going to have to deal with the opposite gender. I just hope they don't start segregating the workplace a well. We should be moving forward guys not back! This is a lame interpretation of Islamic values, it just encourages what they are trying to prevent. Sorry for ranting guys. Peace :) First of all Mark, let me say I like your blog a lot.
