Moving On Up: New Apartment

Before I came home for the summer, I moved into a new apartment in a more hip and upcoming city. When you think of places to go in Kuwait you think of 3 cities; Kuwait City, Salmiya, and Hawally. Each are good for different things. 'Oh, you need to go clothes shopping/need handmade/travel plans/any sort of office like job' 'Go to Kuwait City'. You need games, electronics, new floors/tiles, anything in these categories: Hawallly. You want to have shisha with friends, play pool, coffee place, beach side walks, malls, or just street shopping: Salmiya--and that's where I am.

I'm centrally located, 10 minute walk from the main road here, 2 min walk from a grocery store, 1 min walk from a Quick Chek type of store, across the street from an about to open bowling alley/sports arena, and in a set of buildings full of other teachers and Americans.

It's a lovely 2 bed, 2 bath with a balcony. Not really anything else to ask for when it comes to Kuwait apartments. It's twice the size of where I used to live and in an area that is thriving with entertainment. I'd say this is going to be a good year. Once the temperature started to cool down--aka get to the high 80s/low 90s--I'll be walking all over to really discover the area. Currently, we're typically ranging from 107degrees to 118 degrees here! The only times I can go outside without my glasses fogging up immediately from the current humidity are anytime after 6pm to before 10am. Once noon hits, forget it...don't even wear your glasses because you won't be able to see until you step back into AC.

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy. One more week until orientation...Two weeks until school!








Side note: My college sent me an email requesting for current information. They wanted to add me to their alumni list since I was recommended as someone who went off to do interesting things since college. :) Here is that link... Renee Lycoming Website
