If you don’t recall, Thursday and Friday are the weekend days here. I don’t think I will every get used to it. Mostly that the work week starts on Saturday.
I’m hanging out in the Kuwait Hilton Starbucks, it is nearly midnight and there is no slowing down.
As it is Ramadan, places open at 5:00 in the evening and close very late. They close here at 2:30 am. I’m sure I won’t last until then. I’m going to pack it in very soon.
So after the partial dive trip, I had a big snooze then went to a local Sahaja Yoga meditation nearby. That ended at 7:00 pm then I went to a different place for dinner, Applebees. The dinner was a bit more expensive than normal. Though here you can’t really think about things like what it costs in Canada. Everything western is a bit more expensive, period.
It was 7.5 KD. Not cheap, I usually spend 2 or 3 KD for dinner. (Multiply the KDs by 4 to get Canadian dollars) That was for a juice, salad and a steak and salmon dinner. Good food, and a change from the usual Lebanese style cuisine that I have. Certainly during Ramadan with no lunch the big dinner isn’t too bad, though it is really at least a third more than one needs!
