Kuwaiti Dreaming....
Good grief it's hard to come home! LOL! We got back to BK on Tues. night after taking a few days to recover at my parents' house in NJ (yaaay jet lag!). I had forgotten the MESS we left our apartment in, it was pure chaos! I have been doing nothing but cleaning and unpacking since, talk about a rude awakening!
Kuwait was AMAZING, absolutely AMAZING! I have never been anywhere like it, and honestly I can't wait to get the opportunity to see more of the Middle East (enshala!). Though I will admit the fact that everyone seems to have servants and drivers and the veiled ladies took a bit getting used to...
I've also decided that the Kuwaiti lifestyle of eating sleeping and shopping suits me just fine. I have never eaten so well in my life! It might even surpass Florence in that respect... The meals were HUGE and DELECIOUS. I knew I liked Middle Eastern food before, but now I LOVE it! XD
Also; everything smells good there!! That I was not expecting, but OMG. They burn incense everywhere there, in particular a wood called Oud, and it was AMAZING. Apparently perfumes are also a big deal there and a lot of them are made with Oud...I bought a TON to bring back with me. It's a woody scent that is really really rare to find in the perfumes here, so I got as much as I could carry.. ;)
Hopefully I'll be able to sift through all our photos and put together some blog posts about it soon..
In the meantime, omg how did it get to be Halloween already?? I guess I'll just be breaking out my ol' standby Hermione this year ;)
