08 Oct Thu
Yesterday (07 Oct Wed), I was moved to an apartment with a view of the Persian Gulf in the Indian Ocean. I was told that less than 6 years ago this area was desert. Today, it is booming with apartments, shopping malls, homes, a luxury Hilton hotel, and new building construction.
The apartment has two bedrooms, two baths, full kitchen, and large living room on the 8th floor of a 13-story apartment building. I have this spacious apartment all to myself. The building includes a workout room with sauna plus an outdoor swimming pool. There is a Starbucks on the front side. Out the back door is a small Indian restaurant and a small grocery. About a mile along the beach is a large shopping area with exclusive indoor malls that include a larage grocery store, product market, fish market, and meat market. There a many US brands in Kuwait City including US cars, fast food restaurants, franchises, food products and clothing.
On Monday I was staying a 16-bed canvas tent with no electricity and no air-conditioning. On Monday night the generator was fixed so my last night the light shone brightly all night but I was cool. By Wednesday I had moved to a spacious apartment and no roommate. Wow!!!
I will be in Kuwait for a few days for training then on to Camp Victory in Baghdad.
