• Reading the posts on this site has made me very sad. My best friend just moved to Kuwait a week ago, after signing a 2 year contract, and he's having a hard time adjusting. I did a search for "kuwaiti culture" so I could learn more about the place he's in and maybe find some advice I can give him...but instead I'm reading posts from people saying how terrible the country is, and worse, ignorant, rude comments from Kuwaitis themselves. I truly hope the people my friend meets are more intelligent and compassionate than some of the poeple posting on this site.
  
  I have never been to Kuwait, but I have traveled to a few different countries and in my experiences, there are good/bad, educated/ignorant, friendly/nasty people everywhere. In Austria I made wonderful friends but also had to listen to some very racist comments. In Costa Rica people took such good, compassionate care of me when I got sick, but I also had to listen to asshole guys hissing at me every time I walked down the street.
  
  Shouldn't people assume that Kuwait would be the same way??? Some good, some bad?? Or is my friend doomed to be miserable for two years?
