Until 1960 almost every foreigner arriving in Kuwait was given a gold watch as a present at the airport. I certainly did not mean to offend. At the time I was there it was normal to "show off" your wealth. My father was reprimanded for buying a used car and not a brand new American one.

But please will you put clearly some form of acknowledgement of me? This is usual with Flickr pictures. I am not "someone" I have a name.
