Kuwait

This has been years in the making...
When I first came out of the back of the airport I was a bit taken back by the way the had it set up! I had to walk all the way down to the doors to meet my dad. To be honest I felt like I should have danced or put on a show for everyone on the sides watching me walk down the line. Maybe next time I will just bust out in song and dance! ;) My first car ride through your streets was a bit blinded by the sand storm but I can honestly say I am a fan of the sand storms now. I've driven in them for years and always enjoy a good challenge! I still remember my first tornado of sand and that was a good ride. I came here at the age of 24 and my have the times changed and the world sure looks a bit different when your in your own corner of coffee shop. I have grown into a man that is worlds apart from the guy I used to be in the states. So with this I say I am glad it was Kuwait the country I came to grow, The country I came to love and the country I've come to know as home.

I walked of the plane and found my self in a world that truly is a world of its own. The culture, the smells hanging in the streets from the local restaurants, the sound of the mosque going off in the distant, these were things I have never known yet after all these years this is the place I am most comfortable. I finally learn the true meaning of the phrase "FREEDOM ON THE ROAD!" Driving down the highways, rolling through the neighborhood, cruising in the desert. One message I think I should put out there if your going to speed don't speed by the cameras and if your going to be a rebel without a cause don't run a red light when there is a camera cause you will pay for your so called awesomeness! My first time through the little "Mom and Pop Shops" (i like to call em that) was pretty wild. I can say this its 10 times better then any flee market I've been to in the states! Also I'd like to take a moment to thank the car repair guys down in Fahaheel You helped me repair some minor damages and saved me the trip to the police station. ;) One of my FAVORITE Things bout Kuwait is how easy it is to fix minor scratches and bumps on a car. In the states it would have cost me an arm, leg and a piece of my heart! While here I was blessed with being able to see many concerts meeting a gazillion random people and living a life I'm pretty sure makes me one lucky dude. I'll say this to everyone if you haven't had the the opportunity to join in the festivities of a concert then you are missing out on a world of FUN! Don't be that person that misses out. I get confused for being Arabic a lot here which has been fun. Randomly being talked to in Arabic or the best moment was someone actually explaining to me why black folks call themselves "nigga." For all yall that know me well yall know the deal I don't need an explanation. However it was funny hearing someone try to explain it to me because they thought I was Kuwaiti. I've had some pretty good walks down by the scientific center! ;) Good times every time. I have more but this is all I want to say for now... Thanks Kuwait and as of right now its looking to be 2 full weeks left for me being at home...
