Room with a View

Our new apartment will be a temporary home in Kuwait for a month or so. In essence it's furnished, it's relatively inexpensive (when compared to real estate prices in Kuwait - certainly not when compared to prices in most European countries) and it's one of the very few options we had since our civil IDs are still being processed and as a foreigner you cannot rent property (or get a cell phone subscription or a car or a million other things) without it.

I've uploaded a few pics of the view from our small balcony:


Enjoying a glas of mango juice in the midday sun after a few hours of sleep.


To the left: the Marina Crescent (about a 15 min walk away) - it's a yacht marina, a hotel and a bunch of restaurants and cafes (not visible) with outdoor seating. The road is the famous Gulf Road that runs along the entire coast line.


Straight: view of the westernmost part of the Salmiya area.


Right: streets of Salmiya area (sorry, don't know the names yet)
