Kuwait is amazing & we had an awesome first day here! We saw so much, thanks to our wonderful Couchsurfing host Khaled, that we decided to split the day into 2 parts!

Avenues mall is so massive where u can find everything and definitely not recommended for someone to walk in heels. Dec, Jan and Feb is a really good weather but be ready during summer season because the scorching heat is unbelievable. Its like the planet mars is only a mile away.

@FrugalTravellers Месяц назад

@@vaughngelo7477 I can imagine how hot it would be in Kuwait in summer! We're currently traveling in India and Pakistan, and have had some scorching hot days... in Delhi the forecast was 42C, feels like 50C, because of the haze. I am so pleased we went to Kuwait in January... the perfect time to go 😁🤗

@SERGIO-cr6uy Год назад

Hi Mandy / Lee, Thanks for that Kuwait video as so little is known about that country. These type of mall are insane, they are so massive & luxurious. Everything is made for people to stay & spend their money. That said, I've no idea how shops make any money to pay the rent. We barely see anyone & the minimum wage being 75 Kuwaiti dinars (KWD) 90% of the local working population is employed by the government, this means that the private sector is mostly composed of foreign individuals. Looking forward for part 2, You guys have a lovely Sunday down under, take care 😊 PS: 1st time I see a curved stair-elevator!

@FrugalTravellers Год назад

Hello SERGIO! Thank you for your wonderful comment... it is always so lovely to hear from you! It's a lovely sunny Sunday morning here in Auckland - quite a contrast from that cold and wet day in Kuwait! We had such a brilliant time in Kuwait, and I really hope I can share just how amazing the country and its people are! We definitely aren't mall people but had so much fun at The Avenues! That computer screen floor was amazing, as was the curved escalator... I'm so pleased it was new for you as well, as afterwards I was thinking that maybe it is a common thing 🤣😁 We went in the morning on a Tuesday (if I remember rightly) which is normally a quiet time for malls all around the world 😁😀 I had originally planned to make one video on our First Day in Kuwait, but there were so many wonderful things to share that I decided to break it into 2 blogs. I really hope you enjoy Part 2 next week, and that the upcoming videos show viewers exactly why I love Kuwait! ~ Mandy 😀😁

We easily spent 6 hours there and could have stayed longer 😁😀 ~ Mandy

@suebowman7258 Год назад

WOW! The mall is beautiful and it is huge. It is an expensive country, 1 Dinar equals to $3.26. I am glad to view the world through Mandy’s and Lee’s lense. I noticed Mandy wears a scarf over her head, I wonder if it is a custom there. Another fun and informative video. I am behind and I am catching with your videos. Thank you for sharing the world with our frugal traveller community.

@FrugalTravellers Год назад

Hello Sue - it is always so wonderful to hear from you! I hope you know how much your lovely comments mean to us 🙏🤗 The Kuwaiti Dinar is very strong but it is still possible to find some great bargains there, especially when it comes to food and public transport. I didn't have to wear a scarf but as most Kuwaitis, male and female, wear traditional dress, including head coverings, I decided to wear a headscarf when we were around others. We love our frugal travellers community, and are so happy that you are such a strong part of it, Sue! 😀😁 ~ Mandy

@inkeffect5235 Год назад

I wondered why she was wearing it too, cuz you don't need to wear a scarf in Kuwait, I'm from KW btw.

@FrugalTravellers Год назад

@@inkeffect5235 A great question! I wore a headscarf when we were with Khaled, our Couchsurfing host, as he always wore traditional clothes and I wanted to be similarly dressed. You'll see in the Mirror House & Kuwaiti Towers video that I didn't wear a headscarf when we were at the Towers, or in the thumbnail: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d5B2IcjuDxA.html 😀😁 ~ Mandy

Yet another excellent view on a part of the world some of us have not seen. I did notice that applying the word frugal would require redefining it though. I know everything is relative but it certainly should stop some of us whining, me included, about how much it all costs in (fill in the part of the world you live in).

@FrugalTravellers Год назад

Hello Mac Cat, and thank you for your great comment! Yes, it would be nigh on impossible to travel in Kuwait on our standard US$25 per person per day budget, but that's why it's an average, as all those months housesitting in Portugal meant we in theory have more to spend elsewhere. That's if you can get past the incredible generosity of the Kuwaiti people... and our host, Khaled was absolutely amazing! I really didn't know what to expect from Kuwait, but we had an excellent time there and I would love to return, as there's still so much more to see! ~ Mandy 😀😁

I think you do not know a lot about charitable organizations in Kuwait and their assistance around the world for Muslims and Non-Muslims, not to mention government aid. You have to read before judging.

@Utoob8 Год назад

We don’t expect anyone to carry any burden, but just for your information, in the Gulf War, Jordan, Yemen, Sudan, Algeria, Libya, and of course Iraq all were against Kuwait, mostly because of jealousy of the oil and prosperity Kuwait has; so we don’t exactly have the best relationship with the governments of those countries, and as always, politics is much more complicated than “oh this refugee is an Arab why don’t you take them in”, that would be like saying Indians should take in Pakistani refugees if hypothetically there was a war in Pakistan just because they all look the same to some ignorant person like you who has no idea about the history and politics of the people and region
