A shopping mall
Last October we took on a trip to Kuwait, the most unlikely destination to visit a year before. never in my wildest dream i would have embarked on such a journey. But it was a trip i would not have traded for any other. We were there to visit my grand children, my elder daughter and son-in-law who are residing there due to work.
Kuwait was the country under siege and attack during the Gulf war. Once a war torn city state, Kuwait had nothing to offer except its richness in oil reserve. The country was rebuilt after the war and it can now boast of the adequate modern infrastructure linking all the short-distance-away cities. Multiple lanes motorways are a common feature of this modern desert city state. Modern shopping malls with most popular international brands available are common sights in each city.
its currency, the Kuwaiti dinar, is probably the highest valued denomination compared to equivalent basic currency denomination of any other country. At the time we visited the country, one Kuwaiti dinar was worth RM 12. As it is a rich oil state, cost of living is naturally high.
Kuwait has a small population of around 3.5 million people of which more than half are non-nationals.Foreign expatriates and foreign workers are essential for sustaining the various fields of work and activity. Most locals are rich enough not to be involved in any real form of work.
