I've been living in Kuwait as an expat for a month now (a whole month!) and I thought it was time for me to share my first impressions of Kuwait with you. It's kind of an expectations vs reality Kuwait edition. Moving to a new country is crazy and I've learned so much in the last few weeks, including these things about Kuwait and the Middle East.

PLEASE READ ME!
This video has attracted a whole bunch of negativity, which I never would have expected. A lot of people got the impression that I was complaining about Kuwait or painting it in a negative light, which totally isn't the case. Other than the lack of at-home recycling, I don't consider any of the things I discussed to be positive or negative...they're just my neutral observations about some of the ways Kuwait is different to Wales. I said in the video that I'm really enjoying myself in Kuwait and that I definitely made the right decision when I chose to move here. That's 100% positive!
I think a lot of people watching this are people who've never watched my videos before and maybe don't get my dry sense of humour and the fact that I'm just a very loud and expressive person. They've mistaken it for ranting, which I assure you isn't the case. This is just the way I speak 😂
I apologise to those of you who got the wrong impression of me. Please note that I'm not replying to anymore negative comments on this video or trying to defend myself for talking about my experiences. Just know that I wasn't being negative and didn't mean to offend anyone.
I can give u a kinda travel guide, or places you should go to
Aimee Rebecca aimeee kuwait is very fucking countrey
Vikas Choudhary get your English right then come and talk to me
Aimee Rebecca this is the first time I saw your video, it was hilarious! Love the way you expressed your impressions and described everything!
I am Kuwaiti girl and i hope you’ll see the bright side in kuwait, and if you need any help just ask me as a friend.💙
Unfortunately, that was so negative. Clearly, you don't know Kuwait yet and your first impression is inaccurate! It's a privilege to live in Kuwait. You have the choice and freedom to do as you wish, dress as you wish, and be as environmentally mindful as you wish. Kuwait is one of the fastest developing countries ever! Healthcare and medications are for free. Education is for free. University is free! There are NO taxes to pay. You can even invest and establish businesses as a foreigner without additional expenses! People are nice and kind and respectful. Living is inexpensive. We have no poverty. Gas is cheap! Everything is within reach. Food is the best here! If you save 4 5 fils, you can buy bread that will last you days! If 5 fils doesnt mean much to you, it may mean much to others. It's equivalent to your 5 cents but more worthy.
You can't complain about coins being in Arabic. Same as an Arab can't complain about currency being in English, in UK
I am kuwaiti 🇰🇼 and how you describe my country makes me feel sad 😔 I know you still new but you didn’t even see it from the bright side you must contact with Kuwaiti people so you can fit in with the rules Kuwait 🇰🇼 is a free country specially when we talk about justice if you had a bad time or bullying you can sue whoever I wish you luck in your new experience and I wish you have a good idea 💡 about my country 😊
Oh no! I'm so sorry if you got the wrong impression because I love living here. As I said, moving here was the best decision I could ha e made and I'm having a wonderful time. Apart from the lack of recycling (which bums me out about quite a few of the countries I've visited) none of the things I mentioned were criticisms. I just wanted to talk about some of the ways Kuwait is different from the UK and those were the things that instantly sprung to mind. عبدالرحمن الطيب
Aimee Rebecca no bad ideas in my mind don’t be sorry I just wanted you to know that l love 💕 to see Foreigner talk and having a good experience about my country it’s all fine i wish you the best it’s nice to see CZcamsr having a full video about my country I sport you and if you need anything to know or to visit you can contact with me thank you for the good channel😊👌🏻 I'm exited to the next week
Thank you so much! 💕I will definitely be making more videos about my time in Kuwait. I'm having so much fun here!
عبدالرحمن الطيب
Yes exactly
التبن مدري شفيها 😑😑💔💔💔
I'm from America and I just moved to Kuwait in August and alot of your first impressions are my first impressions as well. Its unfortunate that some people seem to be offended by your video in the comments. I think its good to be open to other people's opinions about your country because theres things that every country can improve on.
I'm glad to hear your first impressions are similar to mine. I was beginning to think I was crazy 😂 I think the thing is, until you've moved to a new place with an entirely different culture, you don't realise quite how overwhelming or strange it can be at first. Hopefully we'll both get used to it soon!
I was calling Sunday Monday and Thursday Friday for at least 9 months 😅

Love you 😍 from Kuwait 🇰🇼
Five fils still worth something you can buy Iranian bread with 4 of those that’s 20 fils
I'm Kuwaiti and agree with what ur saying, specially about the driving☺️. The thing about recycling is not particularity true. Yes it's hard to find those recycling bins(trash),ask for those location, or call a Company that will take it for free.
Thanks for the advice. I didn't realise there were companies that would come and collect it.
i have been an expat in kuwait for almost 4 years.. i can say its not that bad living here.. not all people here are bad.. some of them are good.. for the traffic issue.. well basically it will arise during rush hour.. you know the time they need to go to work or school and the time they need to go home. when motorist get into the traffic light.. well i saw them stop i mean they follow the traffic rules as far as my observation is concern but still there are some motorist who drives like its their own road. the dress code is fine.. its up to you which dress you will wear that you think will not catch the attention of all the people around you and if you want to be respected. for the currency i also hate numbers and fractions.. but i dont have any trouble dealing with kuwaits money at all.. above all.. though kuwait is not a perfect country.. i am still thankful they are giving me opportunity to work and live here. thats all.. thank you.
I am a kuwaiti girl and u can where what ever u want but in a respectful way
Latifa Metal hello latifa am from Nigeria 🇳🇬 will visit Kuwait soon can we be friends?
Hello I’m from Kuwait 🇰🇼.
Kuwait is hot country but wait winter is coming 💛. You will love Kuwait if you know it the people is so kind 😇. I really didn’t like how do you describe Kuwait!
But if you want to order a quick application name Talabat orange color. It is amazing app you car order from it any type of food or drinks ❤️.
Hopefully you will enjoy and love Kuwait 🇰🇼!
and carriage is a really good app
Hi!
I've definitely noticed it's been a lot cooler this week so it's been a lot more pleasant outside. I really love Kuwait so far. The people are so friendly and helpful. It's a big change from what I'm used to, but I'm really enjoying it! ☺️
كفو والله ريال
Nice joke. I see no kindness especially when it comes to Kuwaiti employer treating their employees.
@@varunishere not every employer treats their employees badly
Kuwait is a small version of America that’s what I learned by living for 15 years
Yup, our gas is strange but cheap.

Hello I'm Kuwaiti and for a fact, we do have recycling bins but they are not everywhere
Yes, they have them at my workplace. I just wish they had at home recycling so I wouldn't have to carry my rubbish to work every day 😂
Im kuwaiti and although everything u said about my country is negative i just laughed so hard because everything is so true 😂 may god help you adapt and accept living here, best of wishes
Haha oh no! 😂 I didn't mean it to sound negative because I love it here. It's been a real change from what I'm used to, but I'm really starting to get into the Kuwaiti way of life!
i’m really sorry about what your seeing in kuwait but kuwait is actually beautiful and kuwaitis are really embarrassed from the roads , the drivers , the crowed in malls in weekends and the trash in the streets but i hope your enjoying living in kuwait and again i’m really sorry i’m really so much embarrassed i hope you see the good side of kuwait
Don't be sorry! I really am enjoying living here and I feel awful if you got the impression that I don't. These are just some of the things I first noticed when I got here that struck me as very different to life at home.
I am a Kuwaiti who just moved back to Kuwait from Wales! Welcome to Kuwait. And I hope you get over the culture shock very soon haha! :)
No way! Haha thank you :)
whts ur family name? i am also kuwaiti
I really didn’t like how do you describe Kuwait ! , & we have a recycling but not in every place , & you say that there is a traffic that’s right , & there are many restaurants deliver food in 10 minuets & 60 minutes but of course not 3 hours . Finally You are not used to Kuwait but after a while you will change your view about us .😇💛
We do have recycling here. At my house we have two big boxes that we use to separated paper from plastic to recycle it if the makes sense. As for driving once you start driving you will get used to it. Love you💙
I wish they had recycling at my apartment complex. It's driving me crazy! 😂
I noticed that all CZcamsrs who came to Kuwait are saying the same points, the issue is that Kuwaiti lifestyle is way different than non-Kuwaiti lifestyle, so you have to know Kuwaiti person to tell you how to live “Kuwaiti lifestyle” 😎 I recommend a lady that lives close to downtown. And welcome to Kuwait
It's a big change, but I like it here a lot. The longer I'm here, the more things become second nature to me and I'm sure when I visit Wales I'll be shocked at the difference there 😂
Hi! I know this video is 2 months old but I recommend keeping plastic bags or any type of bags in a corner or a drawer in the kitchen since it's kind of like recycling and you can easily use the bags. Everything you said is totally true especially the driving, take care!
Hi. We have a stash of bags under the sink to put all our rubbish in. It's definitely a great idea!
Talabat and carriage,also makan . It's all good applications to order your food . You will find whatever you want . Also this applications are very fast . You will used to live in Kuwait . Enjoy 💕
Thank you!
As a Kuwaiti I have to say what she’s saying is %100 accurate. Yet there are a lot of nice things that you can do it kuwait and enjoy. Meet/make Kuwaiti friends and you will see what am talking about. Enjoy your stay, learn something from it. And make more videos.
Welcome to Kuwait, you’ll love it in winter and about clothes restrictions, just stick to Avenues, 360mall & Salhiya no one would bat an eye.
Thank you!
I’m kuwaiti, I live and was born in Kuwait
You came here for a job not for talking about negative this happens here
Also Kuwait is everything even when there’s something bad or good 🇰🇼❤️
Enjoy Kuwait ! As Saudi i go there for three reasons , to go to a tailor , to buy parts from the car scraps and to buy fishing tools . They are good at these things . Be carful though , your beauty seems to make cars go crazy lol
Haha thank you. I'm enjoying it so far!
I really loved this video! And I'm sure you'll learn a lot more as you continue to live in Kuwait. And for the food delivery part, I think you can get food real fast when you order online especially in apps like Talabat! I'm so glad you enjoy the country and it was really interesting to know your opinion as I was actually born in Kuwait and have been living here ever since but my parents came here about around 20 years ago.
If you are in need of food and don't have gas then use an app called talabat (it means orders in Arabic) I use it a lot to order all kinds of foods from chines food too fast food.
I really like Talabat. It's so amazing! I mean, they have absolutely everything!
There are recycling bins outside almost every supermarket. You can recycle paper, plastic, tins, bottles etc
That’s just not true.
You seem that you like to complain. Kuwait is not that bad comparing to the most of the countries. Its very safe, big and fancy malls, the best food you will eat in your life and friendly people around you. Stop comparing Kuwait with your country because its different culture and different lifestyle as much as the difference in the amount of the salary that you get paid. Cheers
I lived in kuwait for 23 years now and most of what you say is right but after some time you get used to it if you want anything or someone to show you around kuwait you can contact me anytime maybe we would have a girls outing
Aww thank you so much! I'm surprised how quickly I've settled into the way of life. It's a very welcoming place so that makes it much easier to adjust.
Sally Ghassam Am a Nigeria 🇳🇬 will be in Kuwait soon can we be friends👭I like going out too +2348065441297
Great video glad to hear your settling in, take care xx
Jayne Vassar Thank you! Xx
Hi I am glad to hear good things about my country about the traffic you will get to used to it looool I hope you will have wonderful Experience and enjoy Kuwait :)
Thank you! I'm having an absolutely lovely time so far. I love it here!
You hit the nail on the head about the driving for SURE. It's like a war zone and yes you do take your life in your hands when you drive! Very stressful and gives me immense road rage. My kids want me to install a cam....and youtube it. Inshallah.
Haha that would make for an interesting CZcams video for sure!
Great, another westerner judging the world by their standards!
Also, blaming the oil producing countries for pollution is a big claim from someone from the UK!!!
And Inshallah is a religious concept!! A little knowledge about other parts of the world goes a long way sweetie
Yeah as an American that was the hardest thing for me to adjust.
Yeah, I think moving anywhere with a very different culture is a big step and it just takes some time for you to get your head around it all.
Too fast, Too Furious ALWAYS 😂
When I asked my husband if I could drive around Kuwait he answered, “I want you alive.”
😅😅😅
I am Irine Chua lol whyyy i cant deny that streets are always crowded but most of us own a car and nothing happened to us yet lol so no worries. And she lives in a different city and most foreigners are there.. and most foreigners here are like .. im not trying to be tacist you just have to be careful of everyone .. but residential cities like the one i live in is different like completely different:) and for the currency .. ten 100 fils equals 1 dinar. .. 2 dinars u can get a big mac from mcdonalds lol 😂
Stander Q8 The fact that I am not a defensive driver will definitely kill me 😂 I love living in Kuwait, don’t get me wrong. As long as we expats respect the dress code, culture, rules. I have lived here almost 10 years.
I am Irine Chua i can't blame you lol some people are really dumb i just turned 18 and got my new car and i'm treating it like a baby 😂 and 10 years ! Wow really long time i hope you enjoyed your stay 😃
😂 I can see what he means! I'm definitely not a confident enough driver to drive here and I'd get stressed as soon as people started beeping at me!
Stander Q8 congrats dear! Safe driving 🤗
Ty for this video! Super informative. Sounds amazing!
As a Kuwaiti myself.
The only complaints I have about Kuwait are the kids in schools and the heat lol
If your a Muslim in Kuwait everything would have seemed perfect lol
Btw my house is RIGHT NEXT TO A MOSQUE. (My family are Muslims) so we have to cross the road without our cars so it’s kinda weird
Anyway it’s nice to see how someone not Kuwaiti sees Kuwait
It’s kinda refreshing lol
Edit: I just realized how many times I used “lol”...............
Lol
The heat is so extreme! I've never felt anything like it haha.
I’m Kuwaiti and I’m happy that you liked your experience.. Kuwait to Summarise is more likely for families so that’s why you feel some times boring
Please come visit Kuwait next time and I promise that you will enjoy it
I hope u like it 💕
Btw you can find recycling bins in salmiya near the mini supermarket in front of the american university of kuwait
Thank you!
Kuwait is one of the richest countries in the world. It's definitely hot here which makes sense because if its huge oil deposits underneath responsible for its oil-based economy. The most remarkable thing in kuwait is its astoundingly expensive currency kuwaiti dinar which is the highest in the world. Kuwait has the most dense population of millionares and billionares. Kuwaiti ideology is a sort of in the middle compared to most islamic countries: Not too conservative but definitely not liberal. My dear lovely british girl, the rules and law enforcements here are pretty simple but very effective. Nobody messes up or fuck up the kuwait laws. You will surely get what you deserve. Also, do not complicate yourself with how kuwait handles waste management. Do not worry about your trash because there are people here in charged of separation of biodegradable, non biodegradable, and recyclable items.
It is the same impression when we go to your countries 😄
The plastic bags they offer you at grocery stores are biodegradable if it makes you feel any better.. Some have the label saying it, such as Mishrif CoOp.. Some don't.. But by law.. All CoOps are not allowed to use plastic bags.. Normal plastic is being systematically phased out and will be illegal to use in the near future.. Yes it is not the greenest friendly place on earth.. But during the past few years there has been a steady climb towards that.. I got involved with many organisations there that are pushing for environmental awareness.. I felt really good about it.. Knowing I'm making a difference at a place where people seem to just need some awareness.. Beach clean ups became a trendy thing thanks in part to a show I produced and presented on Kuwait TV.. I worked with some kids while filming, they started understanding what plastic does to the oceans.. These kids will never litter I can assure you of that.. People in Kuwait don't know any better.. They've been spoon fed, and don't even know what it's like to take their garbage out.. Let alone know what happens to it in landfills.. They don't know what pollution is.. Kuwait's second largest export after crude oil.. is.. PLASTIC.. So.. Don't be too shocked.. Just try to help even if it feels like you are not doing much.. The influence you leave anywhere in this world for a greener environment will trickle back to your home..
With that said.. Please let me know if you would like me to provide you with organisations or some amazing individuals that have dedicated their lives for a greener environment in Kuwait.. They would most certainly appreciate your effort to help..
Lastly, if I was in your position, 'I' would integrate the idea of recycling within your teaching somehow, make those around you understand why recycling is a good thing.. And of course never get upset at those who don't.. That would have a counter effect, I'm sure you know that.. Get students interested in the topic.. Make them love their environment.. Even if they think there is no nature in Kuwait.. You won't see the fruit of it any time soon.. But you can be sure in future generations this will make an impact you'll be proud of..
My contacts are mainly in Kuwaiti TV channels, since you're a native English speaker, I can have you contact some people in TV, it would be a paid part time job for you, where you can do the same vlog style videos, perhaps in the studio or at an outdoor location.. It would be a good idea for you to address ideas and motivational stories towards expat and English speaking communities in Kuwait which represent more than 75% of the population.. If TV is not your thing.. Those environmental organisations would give you a million options to choose from..
I rarely reply to a videos or write a comment 'essay' in response.. But seeing that you care about something I am equally passionate about.. This could be a win-win opportunity for you and Kuwait..
Take care
I'm so glad to hear those bags are biodegradable because it's been driving me crazy looking at how many people go through! I'm also so glad to hear about the steps Kuwait has taken to become a 'greener' country. You're so right that it all starts with education. I mean, I can remember when the UK had no at home recycling and people were given a plastic bag for every item they bought. It's far from perfect now, but it's come a long way and I'm sure in time all countries will have a big push towards eco-friendly living. It's something I've always been passionate about promoting in my classroom and hopefully it sticks with the children I teach.
I would definitely love to get in contact with some organisations or contacts you have. Thanks for reaching out.
Give me few days and I'll get back at you with some contacts :)
Hello people!!! I’m really glad for Aimee’s vid and your comment about recycling!
Any soon now I’ll be moving to Kuwait, and I’m very exited about it! I did not know they are so behind in recycling matters but hopefully I’ll be in charge of a place where I definitely will implement it if they haven’t yet!
So thank you so much Aimee for this video because it helped me to know more about the place I’m going and thanks to all the responses that boost me up even more to get to know the country itself as the Kuwaiti people.! And I would definitely love to meet you in person so we can have fun together trying to cross the traffic jam streets! 😂 xoxo 😘 Neri
Aimee Rebecca Hello, sorry it took me a while to find the right contact.. I have it now.. It's a phone number however.. I rather send it to you privitly.. Perhaps email.. Facebook messenger or anything such as that.. So let me know..
Aimee Rebecca If you don't wish to add your contact here.. I can send you the person's phone number.. She's the head of a non-profit organisation for environmental awareness..
Let me know what time you'll be checking messages here so I can leave her number here.. And then I'll take it off as soon as you save it..
, we have tons of recycling companies that come to your to house ,we have riding rules but people dont apply them ,and the delivery depends on where u live maximum 1 hour and quarter u can use talabat\carriege they are online food apps and they deliver in 1 hour and they have more than 700 resturants and u can also track ur order ,u can wear what ever u want no body will come to tell u something about what u are wearing because even girls in kuwait wear short and tight clothes,dont compare kuwait to ur country beleive u will be tired lol, we have so much nice resturants in everywhere the avenues mall marina mall
I live in Kuwait and did You know that with one KD You can by 50 pieces of bread that are as the size as a medium pizzas and a single one is 20 fels

It's helps a lot...
Just number one to ten. Kuwaiti people are kind and understanding. Teens guys are getting naughty sometimes which exist also all around the world not only here.
They respect women..
most people DO follow traffic lights in Kuwait , maybe welsh people just come from very strict laws , but Asian countries are used to loose laws
Hi, please make a video of your apartment search experience as well as living conditions. Do units have washer and dryers etc.? Excellent videos. Thank you,
Hi. My apartment is provided by my employer so I didn't have a choice. I have a washer-dryer in my apartment, but no dishwasher, which I really miss!
U can wear anything that makes u comfortable
like you can do a thing with a penny back home !!!
Hello, welcome to kuwait 🇰🇼
Maybe some of the things are true, but because you are knew to kuwait u didn’t get used to it, in sha allah you will know it better when you get to know kuwaiti ppl , + you only noticed the disadvantages, there is a lot of advantages you will see it in sh allah
Good luck with your staying 👍🏽
Thank you! I'm so glad to be here! The only disadvantage I've come across so far is that it's not as eco-friendly as I'm used to in the UK, but that's true of a lot of the other countries I've visited. I don't consider any of the other things to be disadvantages. They're just ways that Kuwait is different from the UK. I think there a lot of positive things about living here!
0.5 kd is 1.28 pounds .. so consider it just over a pound
So .25 kd is about half a pound ... 1 kd is 2.5 pounds ... consider it over 2 or about 2 .... so 5 kd aboyt 10 ... 10 about 20 and 20 about 40
You can use an app called XE exchange ... easy and usefull
For restaurants being late get the Talabat app it is for hundreds of restaurants with delivery time and diverse cuisines with pics and prices 👍🏻
Hi Aimee,
I know this video is couple months old.I have been following your videos. Are you still working in Kuwait? I have recently got a teaching job in Kuwait and would like to get in touch with you. I will be starting Mid January 2018.
Hi! Yes, I'm still here. That's so exciting! How do you feel about the move?
Thanks for your reply. I am a little bit nervous because of the new environment I will be moving to but at the same time excited for the experience.
What city are you working at right now? I will be in Sabah Al Saleem.
Is there a way I will be able to get in touch with you once I land there?
First no one cross a red light !! Second there are a recycling all over Kuwait but you should call them to came to you or to tell you the nearest one to your home,, third when you talk about the currency honey i used to live in London and you guys have the worst
Currency soooooo many coins worth nothing I remember that whenever i walk out on the street and see homeless I give him all the coins in my bag hoping that he collected an amount that could help hem!! In the end i was that you see something positive in Kuwait :*
Also the school that has shown interest in me has cameras in the classrooms is this normal? They have stated this online and what about when the kids are not in classroom and we have breaks etc..I'm a bit iffy about this now??
I'm curious where you travelled before Kuwait? Was it like 22 years in Wales then... Kuwait? If so, respecccct...
I've done a little travelling, but I've never lived abroad before. They longest I'd ever been out of the country for was 3 months!
Very honest and very sweet. It takes time to really adjust to a new environment....months, maybe years. I think you were doing very well in the sort time of 1 month...
Thank you so much for your kind words.
if you want a place to recycle near the supermarket they are huge bins there are some in yarmouk co-op
Thank you!
There is no gas line its the same as dubai im from kuwait cause maby explode from hot weather and down the floor there is oil they cant dig too much down
That makes sense!
Hello,
Firstly welcome to Kuwait and of coarse if u need any help let me know.
Secondly I agree with u that gas takes one or two days to bring to ur home I prefer to u to get it by yourself but about restaurant delivery they I don't agree with u that takes 3 hours because in law in Kuwait if they takes more than one hour u can take the food and don't pay( for free ) however I advise u to order from talabat or carige u can fine those apps in AppStore or google play ( its like Deliveroo or just eat in uk)
And finally if u don't happy with 5fils and 10fils and u don't know what u should do with it!! Please help me what should I do with 2p, 5p and 10p in uk? Because I'm studying in uk so I prefer to u to keep them in box in which money is collected or saved u will saved exactly same me😜
I repeat again if u need anything in Kuwait just keep in touch with me:)
Thank you! That's so good to know about the food delivery because we ordered pancakes from Talabat and they took over three hours to arrive. It was crazy!
I hate 5p pieces because of their size, but I prefer paying for things with change anyway so I don't mind a 10p haha.
I’m from Kuwait & you can wear whatever you want I’ve seen ppl in shorts & crop tops
There are large recycling bins usually located next to coops. There are also companies who come and take your things to recycle them.
U can were whatever you want!! This is Kuwait gurl! U described my country in a bad way ☹️
I'm sorry if you found anything I said negative. The only thing I consider negative is the lack of at home recycling, but I've said the same thing about a lot of different countries I've been to. It's just something that's really important to me. The other things aren't negative, just observations about how it's different here to what I'm used to :)
@@AimeeRebecca Nah don't be sorry, Kuwait is shit.
Destr0yed no it isn’t your the one with an ugly personality 😒
Kuwait is the best country 🇰🇼
unipuppy_alex 123 haha, so funny *You are*, Kuwait is the best country you say? Well if so, then describe why do Kuwaiti people get more money than the refugees do for the same work ( even kuwaitis work way little and are too lazy, their jobs are either a policeman or a business man.), and if that is not enough to you, then explain why my little sister (was 8-9 years old and handicapped) couldn’t get a medicine that she needed badly, (BECAUSE she wasn’t a Kuwaiti ) you’re telling me that’s a good country?? And people can get kicked out of the country at any Rondom time, jobs / family everything gone and refugees get a low wager for the same job that Kuwait’s are doing.
I’m confused aren’t all countries calendars say Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday 🤔 I’m from Kuwait 🇰🇼
In lots of other countries the week starts on Monday and Saturday and Sunday are the weekend.
BTW, some people have a 1 FILS coin, yeah you heard me correctly, 1 FILS😂😂, it is super rare though.
Wow! 😂 That's crazy!
Thats really sad i wear short skirts all the time!! and about the currency its actually pretty simple & about recycling there is a recycling company that u should call probably twice a week when u gather everything!

Driving in kuwait isn’t that bad. Walking in the street is even more dangerous.
gurl if you don’t like it here just please leave.
Well it was too early to judge Kuwait.
Kuwait is not like, what you have concluded (except roads), but people do stop car and give you way to across.
Hi, i hope you enjoy your stay in Kuwait. I am a Kuwaiti and i would like to let you know about the recycling. there are companies that actually come to your door and talk whatever papers, cans, water bottles, plastic and recycle them. just google it! :)
Thank you for the advice! :)
All Kuwaitis’ Welcome You 💙🇰🇼
Thank you! :D
Hilarious Aimee I have lived in Kuwait for 17 years and you are spot on about the Country, the driving and the word Inshallah but at least it's sunny for 11 1/2 months a year, so has got something going for it. Also no recycling and pollution from the vehicles are major issues, but you have to laugh that there is no solar energy produced there LOL. Enjoy your stay.
The weather is excellent and so is the food! Yeah, they really could get on board with solar energy. Can you imagine how much power they'd get from that? Haha!
Just to be clear , for Canary and you Aimee , we have Solar power plant called "Sidrah 500" , this project cost us about 30-million Kuwaiti dinar ($99 million) , its produce 10 megawatts (MW) of electricity half of which will be supplied to the public electricity network , i'm sure that more Solar power project will come in near future.
Actually we do have solar power now.
There are recycling bins at malls esp avenus mall maybe you’ll get used to it I’ve been living here for 4 years and I’m 10 LOL
You can wear anything short or something you want
I think it depends where you live and where you work. I have a friend who lives on the other side of Kuwait and she wears shorts and strappy tops. Where I live is noticeably more conservative and we're not allowed to wear anything like that in our apartment complex.
I am from Kuwait
That would be cool if you vlogged in kuwait
I definitely will :)
Kuwait is the most horrifying country
I love this Kuwaiti restaurant 'Freej as sweileh' , they have soup served in bread bowl , thin and sweet pitas , amazing Arabic salad platter , and Ofcourse soft and delicious meat dishes
hmm they got shut down twice for having rotten meat and dead rats
No i didnt like that video and no i will definitely not subscribe, Idk about the UK but kuwaiti roads are not THAT bad, maybe it’s because ive only drived in kuwait but listen habibti the UK roads are WORSE and also we say inshallah because most of us are muslim so we say inshallah bc if god will it then god will it, who are u to say? and also listen ya 7ayati there is carriage, talabat and so many ordering web applications also you are complaining because our money is, in your opinion, worthless. 7ayati take it up with the bank
Love this video! Thought it was hilarious from a Kuwaities stand point! Yes, I am Kuwaiti. I must say I agree and I am so very sorry about the roads and the driving here though. It's embarrassing😣 But I do hope there are some good things about you living here. Hope people and just life is treating you well.
Thank you! Now that I've been to Vietnam I can honestly say Kuwait doesn't have the worst roads in the world, but they are still terrifying haha. Yes, lots of things to love about living in Kuwait. I met so many lovely people there!
We don’t care if u dont love or like our country cuz we dont like urs , so just keep ur impressions or opinion for ur mama 🤷🏻♀️.
The problem of some people is that they compare them environment in which they lived in the environment of other countries there fore its impossible to match the environment of each country with another so this point some dont want to accommodate for that they They focus on negatives aspects even if will go to your country i can remarked thing.. the life is like that.. your food not same my food your way not same my way in living and many thing we are different in it..
U can wear whateve u want to wear
I'm from the Middle East and can relate, but the currency thing is just you being picky. It's an unfamiliar currency, and pounds, dollars, or euros feel the same way to the average Kuwaiti soooooo...
*when she complains about kuwait but then they don’t have Shatafa*
You're so funny, you cheered me up so much tonight!
I'm so glad I could help! 😂
I'm glad you enjoyed your time
Lol I am Kuwaiti and almost everything you said is true XD. Everyone owns the street, there are no rules lol. Just wait until February 25th, that’s Kuwait’s National Day. The streets will be VERY VERY crowded with cars, kids and teens with water guns and balloons everywhere. The streets become a water war. It’s really fun if your the one spraying water xd even though it’s a waste of water. I suggest you keep your car windows shut on that day xd
Please make some Kuwaiti friends. Unless you make Kuwaiti friends u wont be able to see and enjoy Kuwait to the fullest. I see you have a poor impression about our country. Being a Kuwaiti I feel bad that u feel that way. Hope u make some good Kuwaiti friends and that would surely change your impression about Kuwait.
Hey Aimee, hope you’re enjoying your stay in Kuwait. What you’ve said about drivers is sadly true like we know that ourselves as Kuwaitis. As regards restaurants you can order through Talabat & Carriage, they’re similar to JustEat & Deliveroo in the UK. And all the other small differences you talked about I guess they’re normal for anyone who just moved to a new country, it’s a matter of time to get used to the place and how things work out. As a student abroad I experienced the exact same when I first moved to Ireland, in terms of public transportations, currency and the little unnecessary coins, and the tiny things that differ to what you’re used to back home. It’a all about adaptation and getting your head around the country. Enjoy your stay & don’t hesitate to ask for more information.
Thanks so much for your comment. You're definitely right about adapting to a new culture. I found that I settled in pretty much immediately and didn't really feel homesick at all until about two weeks in. All of a sudden I just had this wave of longing for the things that were familiar to me! Slowly but surely the things that seemed so different at first are becoming normal to me now :)
About the plastic bags thingy, sometimes the language barrier make people dont understand fully like some of the non kuwait workers dont speak english, about the gas delivery they are often to be morning / noon service so it is always advised to have extra gas container.
Not respecting traffic law in Kuwait is not true. You may find one in 3 to 3000 citizen who did this. So it not a general behaviour. We have restricted law and all roads are supervised by Camara.
Kuwait is the best
I kuwaiti and I laugh so hard about the driving. And the currency 😂😂😂😂 , I hope you have a good life in Kuwait 🤗💗
Haha 😂 Thank you so much!
Is there an English language version, i cant speak Arabic
U r so funny 😂😂 I don't know why I am laughing!😂
Thank you 😂
