My life in Kuwait as a First timer Expat working in the Middle East
| This was my first time to travel out of the country and it happened when I was on my mid 30's and never would have thought this would happened to me It was never been on my plan nor dream because all I want was just to travel and explore whenever possible I can because travelling takes a toll on your Budget,Time and Energy. I was looking so pretty weird because as a certain precautions and advice for you not to get some attention from the Arab country or Arab world i should have maintain a manly look sound weird but better follow some certain precautions. The year it was taken was April 2016 |
During the first quarter of my stay I am lucky to have a brotherhood and sisterhood on the church ministry that help me cope up with my homesickness and loneliness here me attending a series of teachings for you to become a full pledge member of SFC (Single for Christ) I am grateful for the every Friday i need to attend with the group. Here I have felt the love and Fun experiences with them.

My first taste of going around the places here in Kuwait the first of all was in the famous GRAND AVENUES MALL first hand experience walking in the mall and seen Arab people I am in the Prestige side of the Mall where you can find all the Luxury brands you can think of from Shoes, bags, Clothes, Accessories and so on.
well whenever I feel sad and low I tend to eat a lot and my all time favorite comfort is the famous McDonald mostly the famous crispy fries without the Mcspaghetti which i truly miss because in the Philippines you can have it in a meal plus you request for an additional spaghetti sauce and cheese in which in the Arab country you will never find it here even if I have try searching in some of the most famous fast food chains here.
so most of the free time if your an OFW you will definitely understand me to kill the boredom and every payday or salary you would often see our "KABABAYAN" having some social life through going to the mall and eating out and most of all roaming around for some window shopping and also shopping and we all love to update with the latest trends for fashion and gadget and most of all we love t look forward for SALE and we love to buy stuff that we can give as our "PASALUBONG" for our Family and Friends.
There are some moments in your life that you would feel that you are in prison as doing the same routine for work and house and vice versa but all in all we learned to cope up and live the kind of lifestyle and culture that you are living in with all your prayer everyday all is well in the few days to come. So far so good i have my stay up to know and have learned to cope up and love the country.
during the summer time I was able to experience my first ever feel of the Sun and the Beach so far this was my First and last experience Because people will tend to stay indoors and at home during the hot season for the temperature was so killing me but this experience is one of a kind that i can never forget but for me nothing beats the beautiful beach of my country PHILIPPINES. I hope i can do my own version of that blog soon since I just become active only this time.
I still have my ups and down in my life here but you know life must go on i still have my high hopes because of my FAITH...
My first experience of winter the cold weather where everyone is looking forward where you can wear a good outfit and walk around were you can feel the cold breeze of the wind damping on your skin.
Since your going in the mall and get to see beautiful stuff i learned to adopt and buy good stuff and be fashionista by heart here I got My ALDO shades that i bought for 2KD under the sale item.
Another fast food chain that i love to go to as your comfort food since this was the most accessible and very affordable.
During the Summer this is my go to food indulgence to beat the heat from outside and feel refresh from the inside here i was able to look and scout for a Filipino restaurant that you can find within my area since I am living in Salmiya the restaurant name is "SPECIAL CUCCINA DE GUCCI" here you can find all the mostly 80% of the menu is catered to a Filipino dishes so expect to be with our "KABABAYAN" there will be more blog soon to post.
Yes Middle Eastern people love to have coffee as part of their social gatherings and socialization so I did try some coffee and this mouthwatering Strawberry Cheeze Cake and Caramel Machiato coffee here in Al Salam Mall were you can find this very cozy Green Leaf Coffee Shop good product as well as taste, presentation and service for an affordable price.
