Kuwait

The whirlwind week continues. Today was Kuwait City to meet with Kuwait Oil Tanker Company.

I tried to get a picture of the iconic towers that formed the background of the pictures from the Iraqi invasion but couldn't get a look. Instead included a pic out of my dusty hotel window of what I thought was an unusual open sandy lot behind the hotel in the middle of the city. After looking at it for a while I came to realize what it is with the thousands of regularly spaced mounds. Spooky.















There are 3 million residents in Kuwait, but only 1.2 million Kuwaitis. Nice people, but they generally don't get their hands dirty. Unless it's political corruption, which seems to be the national past time. The Prime Minister was getting grilled in parliament today and the Emir may dissolve parliament shortly. What a mess.

Weather was delightful. High of 68F under a cloudless sky.
