We went into Kuwait City and learned where to go to buy automation supplies (hard drives, printer cartridges, networking supplies, etc) and take care of other communications-related business. It was interesting to see such a large Arab city with shoddy mud-brick contruction right alongside a modern steel and glass skyscraper. Many of the comforts of America had their Kuwaiti counterpart (see the picture). The other interesting thing I saw is that most of the work in Kuwait is not done by Kuwaitis, but by Third-Country Nationals (TCNs) like Indians, Pakistanis, and Philipinos. They are the grease that make the Kuwaiti machine run.
I'll post some other pictures soon. (you can get a sneak peek by checking out my Flickr snapshots)
