We can all agree on the fact that Kuwaitis symbolize all that is food and merchandise! With a fine taste in international cuisine and imported goods, Kuwaitis are always looking for the next best thing; whether it’s a small breakfast place in the middle of nowhere, homemade cupcakes, or newly constructed malls. “Embracing” malls that encompass not only the finest in stores and taste bud satisfiers but that encompass people who like to see people and bee seen by other people all for the purpose to see and be seen by fellow people.

Before I start, this is not a generalization nor is it a description of  the people’s personalities or minds, it’s only a sample, and I’m not trying to be all that and judgmental, Im just stating my observation. Again, not a generalization. 

Case Study: The Avenues Mall. 

I haven’t been to Avenues in 9 months and wasn’t planning on going at all during my month here in Kuwait .. It seems like a lot is on display and I don’t mean those on shop display windows. 

1) People stare at each other like they’ve stolen their joy and glory. 
2) People sit with other people but have a better interest in the people across the other peoples table. 
3) People BBing each other to “please shoofay the aliens illi warach” aka girls with 7jabat taller than the Empire State. 
4) Walking at a 0.2 second pace eyeing you on the corner of their eye. 
5) Screening you’re every inch.

That being said, I’m off to ilshalai.. Peace.
