Kuwait Apartment Tour | Expectations vs Reality
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 06. 2018
- I've been living in Kuwait for nine months now and I've been putting off filming my Kuwait apartment tour for that whole time. But today's the day! Here's my Kuwait apartment tour so you guys can see where I've been living in Kuwait. The apartment I've been living in in Kuwait doesn't belong to me. One of the perks of working in Kuwait is that my apartment is provided for me. It doesn't really look like it did in the pictures so it's going to be more of an expectations vs reality type apartment tour.

I think the window is so that the smell and heat of food leaves the kitchen easier. Especially if you’re cooking things on the stove!
Yay!!!! Finally!!
You lived free rent, free health care, free taxes, good salary...that snit you won’t dream of getting in your own country.
Hani Alturk so true
Exactly ! Living and being taken care of all this time and complaining about it as if it was not enough then why the hell did you even accept to come ???
@@samahmonkshoody8559 did you watchful video. She was shown a completely different accommodation. She also explained that her salary is deducted to help with housing costs. Not the entire cost but some of it.
All that free stuff and complain about it , what a biotch
I think that odd window in the kitchen is an air shaft for fresh air intake. If you open it, and crack the balcony window, you might get a fresh air cross flow.
Did you have to pay utility bills? And did you have WiFi? Love your videos btw ❤️
Hi! Nice to finally see your apt.
hii
The apartment is beautiful
So I'm out of the loop and just now seeing your channel. What made you decide to move to Kuwait? Should I plan on moving there? LOL I'm tired of where I'm at.
Is it okay for you to disclose your pay which u got while u were in Kuwait ?
I’m in Kuwait and let me say, you are 1,000% on point about how many of the apartments I’ve seen in Kuwait haVe these exact types of issues. The really nice ones in the richer parts of Kuwait City are great but most of us ex-pats aren’t in those.
Kuwait is the best
StephActiveVeggieByrd Expats??? Lol you mean immigrants
@@travellover6768 we aren't immigrants
That whole kitchen and the window opening looks like it’s straight from the game mirrors edge.
Aimee darling, I’ve understand that you have to be in school early (7) but could you please tell me what the day’s timetable is like? What lessons you teach, who teaches the other leasons and what time you get for planning etc? Thanks love xxx
The teaching timetable is very light because usually there are specialist teachers for Music, Art and PE as well as Arabic and Kuwaiti Social Studies. There's plenty of time for planning :)
Aimee Rebecca thanks so much for your reply. And thanks for all your videos, I’ve loved them all. Still watching them, want to make sure I see all your videos. I speak Arabic myself and thinking of applying to work in Kuwait. xxx
Could you do a video on what to pack when you move abroad? I moved out for my PGCE and I want to do my NQT abroad but I don't know if I'll have to/be able to take things like my dishes and pots and pans or even my xbox abroad!
Hi! I made a video a little while ago about what I packed to go to Bahrain czcams.com/video/Dod9Hc6tRIU/video.html
Depending on where you go, you might not need to take any household items. The apartments I lived in in Kuwait and Bahrain came with everything!
Hey I have some questions about moving over and working. Do you have a way to contact besides CZcams? I’m going over in August (hopefully) lol.
U look nice when standing, by the way the functionless switch i think its the water heater switch
mohammad mohammad Ahh! Maybe it is!
Aimee Rebecca r u still in kuwait?
It’s not really nice , but did they allow you to decorate or change any thing? Cuz you can do many things here 😊
I wasn't allowed to do any decorating or change anything unfortunately. I did bring in a few small pieces of furniture, but it would have been nice if I could have made it feel like my own :)
Thank you
What school do you teach in?
what was the ocation
Wow free rent free home congratulations
I think that kitchen window is meant to be a window into a light well. In theory light wells are used to add matural light to interior rooms that otherwise wouldn't have it. But that light well is too small to function as intended. Haha
Sarah Ingerson If that’s the case, it’s definitely not working ha ha!
@@AimeeRebecca Are you from NE England ?
How much you pay for this apartment.
How much you pay for that appartment
4:13 The locals use these crystal bowls for storing dates (fruit)!
Can confirm, the art in company apartments, or pre-furnished are horrendous. Some of my tasteless bits of art are bolted to the wall...
Blair DeLong Haha no escaping them then!
Aimee Rebecca I've long since accepted my fate and bought things to at least cover over them. Also, edit: Good luck in South East Asia!
That's a pretty good apartment. In NYC it would be expensive.
Chicago and LA too
I love kuwait
That is a weird little sliding door in your kitchen. I wonder if it is access to the electrical and plumbing.
faeriesmak Who knows? 😂
Onion storage?
Yewena mehlo. Yimbi lendlu yakho ❤😍
Hello, can I ask you how much is the rent? for your flat and in Kuwait in general.
She didn't pay rent. Its was free
your apartment is way better than ours, atleast you live in a separate room.
Did you have access to the internet?
No 😩 there was no WiFi. I just had to hotspot from my phone.
@@AimeeRebecca oh no! Was this good enough to stream Netflix? x
@@KayyWxx Thankfully yes! The upload speed was dreadful, but the download speed was good. I just topped up my phone with 64gb of data a month and that kept me online :) x
Not that bad but very small for 3 people. The window is very weird in the kitchen.
LondonCalling Yeah, the window was really odd!
your kitchen window functions as a chimney exhaust for the stove...
I think that general well could function that way. Strange that they put a window to it though and not a pipe.
Ahh! Maybe!
that's a duct for ventilation and you still say no natural light without opening that thing. huh
Where are you teaching now?
Now I'm teaching in Bahrain
Are you still in Kuwait
No, I live in Bahrain now
Dear God.....I Need A Blessing Like This...Thank You In Advance.
Hai Aimee, u r looking so cute and charming and ur way of expressions r really very childish. Keep it up...
2:18 is what it was supposed to look like
3:04 is how it actually looks like
thank me later.
Hey Amee what’s up ???
Just wondering any chance of collaborating with me ?? 😊😉
Same here I got an offer from Kuwait and told me they will provide comfortable room but when I reach and got strange to see the room which is totally uncomfortable. :( :(
akki rawa Aww no :( I’m so sorry!
Lovley flat but oh my word...no taps? That really is annoying, might aswell not have been there!
omg you are at al naser i am at al naser
Your age
I'm sorry you had such a bad apartment experience! And you deserve better!
Bernard's Channel Aww thank you! It really wasn’t so bad. I’m really lucky I had somewhere to live for free!
I agree! He deserves better and not shared.
3:57 - 3:59 ahhhh so uncomfortable
Sister I am getting job in Kuwait with salary of 500 KD .
Please help me how can I get one room apartment under 100 KD
The window story really make me laughing 😂
Im sorry that ur experience in kuwait is awful and you have a bad luck, thats how your showing it to others.But, alot of expats (americans and british) love kuwait and are living the best of it and many have lived in kuwait for long years because they admire it and they understand that they are living in the dessert thats why its hot and dusty. I dont like how your showing others the bad impression of kuwait and making fun of it when really its not how it is.If you dont like kuwait that doesnt mean every expat doesnt like it here. Good luck you did a right choice in leaving kuwait because its not the right place for u.
On the contrary. I think I actually said in the video that my apartment isn’t a reflection of how everyone lives in Kuwait so I’m certainly not making any broad generalisations. I also said I was really grateful to have my apartment provided for me as part of my contract.
I have never said that my time in Kuwait was awful. In every single video I ever made about Kuwait I expressed the positives of living there and reiterated more times than I can count how happy I was that I had made the decision to move there. If you sensed any kind of negativity towards Kuwait in this video of me just showing people where I lived then that was not based on any comments I made or anything I said.
I've heard very bad experiences from teachers
Nasreen Sadan Kuwait is the best and I love it there
You are right , but this is her first time in Kuwait
Farwaniya is known in kuwait to be a bad a scary area to live in 😂, our nice and most popular areas to live in is fnaitees, almasayel. Sabah alsalem, rumaithya etc. I would rather live in these areas and pay rent then what the school provides me with. They could have at least put you in a bigger apartment!
Yeah, I had friends who lived in better developed areas with more to do around them. That would have been nice.
@@AimeeRebecca I studied in a British school in Kuwait, and many teachers from my school lived in this big apartment building in Sabah Al Salem, just a few streets away from my own home.
It was a weird feeling because I'll be playing football or behaving like a prick and then I would see one of my teachers walking with their baby in the stroller
@Aimee Rebecca Is it just me or you have gigantic eyes! No offense they are beautiful eyes but HUGE! Like WHOA!
Love u baby
U have..such... quteee...eys
Too much murmuring! And negative Energy.
I wish that i can live in America, the homes there make me very happy , a lot of positive feeling .ahh😍
Wasima Alajmi That sounds lovely!!
Nooo you don’t want to live in America. We’re being robbed here and our government doesn’t function. Housing costs are getting ever higher while wages are down. An ambulance ride to the hospital costs a couple thousand dollars alone. You can only have insurance if you have a job too, this in a country with a precarious employment situation. We have a gig economy. The small towns are dying and the big cities are getting so expensive that even communal living with a bunk bed costs $1200/month. STAY AWAY from this country. It’s in decline!
Until you get to America and see what a hellhole it is
She is a spy...
Would you date a kuwaite man ??
Yes she would if you have money
@@hanialturk5981 LOL
What a sad video.
You don't choose the great place in my country you choose the expansive and you don't search about this place if that's place are good or nah so please don't talk 🙏🏻💚
Like I said though, I had no choice in where I stayed
She is just a complaining machine ... 😏😏😏😏
Yep. When things suck, I complain 😂
Kuwait need reconstruction....
What a negative video. So sad
What a dump of an area....glad you’re outta there. Smh 🤦♀️
Island Chick Haha! I can’t complain. It was for free after all. I’m looking forward to having a little bit of personal space though!
Aimee Rebecca I know it. I shouldn’t have been so blunt... it seemed ok but the view from the window looked iffy. Enjoy your summer
Island Chick Haha! Yeah, it’s considered one of the least desirable areas in Kuwait apparently 😂 Thanks!
