There are more groups on FB to join and they have outings and gatherings. Most people meet others in the work place as it is hard to just go out and start up conversations with random people.

Hellenah, try to link up with some of the social groups on Facebook, or on this site and ones like Internations.org.听 I was just out last night to an Internations gathering, met a bunch of people, and had a great time!

on facebook you will find a group called expats in Kuwait, just search "expats" and "kuwait" and you will come up with a thousand different groups; you can also find places that need volunteers like animal shelters and things like operation hope, try sports as well - the kuwait scorpions rugby club is currently looking for recruits, no need for past experience, as a former scorpion myself, and someone who used to be in your same exact shoes regarding finding things to do in kuwait, the scorpions were by far my favorite, it opened doors and showed me a kuwait i had never seen before. so give them a shout.

no Aneline, life in Kuwait is not boring at all.

Some people scoff at the question and give lukewarm answers as a joke - here is the real deal, had i not been in Kuwait i would not have done the following:

1) Joined the rugby team.
2) Joined the gaelic football squad - and represent Kuwait in a tournament in dubai too!
3) Found my passion in running - and subsequently start my own running group.
4) Joined a cycling group that give personalized tours of Kuwait that are amazing.

not into sports? how about performing arts?

5) found my second passion in standup comedy.
6) started doing improv comedy with Staged in Kuwait group (SiK).

not to mention all the other things in between - great friendships from people from every corner of the globe (well, most corners), the culinary delights etc.

Life in Kuwait is what you make it; most people are content to lead a 9-5 life then go home, plop down infront of the telly or computer and complain about how there is nothing to do in Kuwait. There is plenty, you just need to actively pursue it.

@legacy

Hello senior,

You are very helpful and your posts are always useful and interesting to read.听

听

But Just have some concern, may some people find this all as boring, like for me I don鈥檛 like to play football but I like hockey and cricket. I cannot find any group here for hockey, and about cricket, we have managed to create our own team and thank god we have a open ground to play the same in front of our accommodation. Performing arts may be challenging for many people due to lack of confidence.听

I like Mountain climbing, Camping, River rafting, Bike riding on high mountainous range and many other adventurous sports (use to do all this in Himalayas) which is obvious I cannot do here. LOL

And yes, you told 鈥淟ife in Kuwait is what you make it鈥� I will also tell the same thing, we can be happy from the things we have. Like 70% of people like swimming so as with me, I have joined Gym and Swimming which is very easy to get in (Useful to make friends also @Aneline). And many other things are also there in which one can be engaged.

Thx

Is it a good thing to date an Arab guy? Especially Egyptian? What are they like. I know someone who is very helpful from a blog but is now interested in me been in Kuwait for 2 weeks and not hasty for anything romantic now. I feel everybody deserves the benefit of the doubt because most people talk from what they hear

dear ZeeWorld; thats two questions, one unrelated to our current discussion

firstly, check out their website () and contact them with all your queries, i have yet to attend a meeting past my audition

secondly; there is no hard and fast rule, just treat it like any normal date, establish ground rules, find out their endgame, and note that Egyptians can be very jealous folk. os be cautious.

Dear Mr. Nilesh

I am totally agree with you. Same as you I am also like CRICKET, mountain climbing, Riding,Badminton & Hockey as well. But these games are not familiar with Kuwait. So some time I am feeling bored in Kuwait. But am always hoping for the best.

Have a good Time.

Many Thanks
