American Expat's Where You At??

Hey Travis!

Welcome on board

Armand

Aloha

Welcome Travis, fellow American ex-pat!

Thanks nomad12.. Where are you from?

I'm a Texas native. Most recently from Tennessess.  But have lived in Florida and Georgia as well.

What up HomeBoy!

Nomad12- whatcha doing in kuwait?

Marquis- wassup mane!! i'll be seeing you later..

Hey Baldmestizo,

I'm working for a large engineering firm, doing I.T. work. Taking advantage of the generous tax-free foreign income exclusion while it's still available.  I've got an indefinite work contract so I'll be here until I can build up my retirement fund and take early retirement.  Can't count on the U.S. social security system to still be solvent, given the current state of the economy.

Planning on taking advantage of being located in this to see more of this part of the world.  Diving my around the world in the process.

How about you?

Man I here that you can build your own retirement right here.. I give the U.S. maybe 7 to 10 years before she be up to her full strength again. So here I will be until then..

Nomad- im the same way.. I'll be here for awhile taking advantage of the great money i get and the easy living.. i really don't need nothing in the USA right now.. lol.. plus like you said, i can travel anywhere around the world so its a nice gig..

not American, but am a Western expat so thought I'd say hi anyway.  Hope you're enjoying Kuwait and aren't finding the summer heat to horrible! lol

Hi, to both of you ladies..

Get along with the heat,by the way i love it here the way it is,either dusty hot or cold or whatever

I love the heat too! I can't stand cold weather, hence me being from Hawaii...

Q

Hello Q,
very nice name and easy,
I usually have my sports as walking and jogging in the Track Walk in Salwa (Anjafh Beach), also swimming in Rass Al-Ard club (do you know it?)

if it was nice for you, you will be highly welcome to do it together in addition to visiting other places in Kuwait together in nice group.

but you are more black than me ,  so you will attract all girls

Do not worry, you are welcome ... to join

this is my e mail also [email protected]

Good luck

Hello Amercia... names Simon, Just moved here a couple a days ago from boston. I'm staying at a hotel in Hawalli any suggestions on a place to rent, gyms?

Hi Amerleb, welcome to Kuwait
there are many places for rent of course but how many rooms you are looking for and you will live alone or with your family? generally try to get Al-Waseet and 808080 (Tabloid newspapers ad) you will find many places.

I know it is so hard for newer but no way, I can advise you to rent small flat 1 single room in those furnished for few days until to find nice flat, these furnished flats will be cheaper that hotel of cours

good luck

Thanks Romeoo, the company is paying for the hotel until I find a place. I'll be living alone, so a one bedroom would be fine. Thanks again for the heads up on where to look.

one bedroom will be available in Al-Shaab, Al-Salmiya and Hawally, do not worry it will be so easy because you are looking for one single room no more.

good luck

Tallahassee, Florida in the house! Go 'Noles!

Halla all!!
I'm nt American bt wudnt mind havin american frnds. Wl b in kuwait nextmonth.
