What kind of entertainment is available here? except malls, shopping, eating, movies & driving? Please advice.

There is beautiful and ugly in every city, its how you perceive it. your cities in Europe, we’ll never get that beautiful, but we work with what we have, PS: hit a cord with what? I didn’t get that bit, maybe because I’m a plain stupid Arab from Arabia, PS2: love your blog Mark, my favorite!

I already feel that people from other countries frown upon the fact that it is normal to see a person from this region in another country to live or enjoy a lifestyle that this country refuses to present. I don't want to open up a new path for an argument to walk down but I mean really go to another country??? That comment really doesn't help your argument, IMO. Those here for money... Of course people are here to make money; I am sure that if it weren't for the black gold that is here in Kuwait, there would be nothing here worth coming to. Let’s face it the tourist appeal isn't that high. If you want to dwell on the intellectual and cultural presence here then to most people that aren’t from here they seen none. I mean what is really marketable that makes one say, “Hey that’s from Kuwait!” Oil that’s it! Sorry to burst anyone’s bubble but it is true and blame it on your leaders. This country would rather build a new mall than expand on something that enhances your cultural worth. And that brings me back to the money thing to say people only come here for money is true, but one of the main reasons Kuwait is her is because of money, if you had no oil, it would be a bit of a different story on those who come here and those who are born here, IMO. Kuwait is ugly….. It is, I know this may seem offensive and like a cold hearted thing to say but it is. I have been around the world and it just is by far the ugliest country I have seen so far. After what I have seen happen to Abu Dhabi and how they have improved their appearance, Kuwait has left me wondering why it can’t do the same. But let’s not focus on just appearance let’s look on the inside as well. For the most part this country while claiming to be one of the most religious in 2007 was 3rd in the world in car deaths. What does this have to do with being ugly??? Most religions practice patience and a calm demeanor in life, let’s think back on life on the road and see if in a majority we see patience in this country or if you can feel calm most of the time on the road, ugly just ugly. Let’s look at the normal conversation, the way some locals treat other nationalities, living conditions on a broad scale, and then take a look at the overall appearance of this country and yeah once again, this country is not that pretty. Now I know that I have struck a few chords with what I have just said, but if you can’t take this criticism from someone who is well educated (please forgive for any grammar or spelling errors. Not in the mode to proof this), has an open mind, and seeks to learn more about the unique culture this country has; well then you are helping to prove my point. Back to the subject of all of this, I think that this country leaders need to step out of its old ways and stop trying to deny a well accepted cultural change, stop trying to hold a veil over the people’s eyes attempting to keep something out of the country for the sake of maintain a cultural appearance. Especially, when your people are famous for going to another country just to do what their own country frowns upon. JUST GIVING IT TO YOU STRAIGHT NO CHASE. #58 Mimz, do you think that that is somewhat backwards, in reference to your go to Dubai or Bahrain comment.

If this country to you is ugly or boring then why are you staying? Is it because of the money? I bet it is because of the money, which is all you guys care about. So as long as your being paid with OUR governments money, keep your opinions to yourself. Like you said, Kuwait does have a lot of accidents, so why add onto them with nightclubs and drunks?

I mean really All of this money this nation has and look what they have... The worlds best...ummm..... The worlds greatest..... huhhhh.... well they have nice cars, lol Truth be told some how some way there is an outlook that without things like a night club and bars this country will keep a wholesome image. But like this article, one can easily see that this is far from being true. Plus lets just face it the way the roads are here if you brought in an active nightlife and bars, it would move from number 3 on the charts to 1. #55 Kuwaitis don’t have money????

Tickets at any cost are cheap to them , so they can travel anytime without prior plans. End of the day they can say , they want to preserve the beauty of this country? which is what ? Go knows .
