One more card from Kuwait!


Today I received one more card from wonderful Huda! Card depicts some part of the commercial areas in Kuwait city. Around this area the old souk/market is situated, as well as the street which leads to many government ministries. Also there can be found most of banks and companies' offices. This area was in past full of houses.

Thanks a lot, Huda!

A great surprise from Kuwait!






Total 2 cards and an envelope I received from Kuwait! So what do we know about Kuwait?
Location: Western Asia
Capital: Kuwait City
Population: 2,789,132
Official languages: Arabic
A small, oil-rich country on the Persian Gulf, Kuwait is flat and arid, but oil wealth makes this an attractive place for immigrants. Besides, Kuwait is the only country in the world with no natural water supply from lakes or reservoirs but it did open its first grass golf course in 2005.
The sender, Huda, lives on the beach side and likes to watch the sunrise everyday. It's a nice view from his flat. How lucky he is!
Huda was so anxious, that it took too much time for the postcard to reach me, that sent another one! That's so kind! So I have 2 identical postcards with very diverse  messages and one different card.
On the first postcard you can see sunset on Kuwait City beach (at the Dhow Harbor). This location was in past a small harbor, but now it is used only for fishing boats.
On the second postcard you can see many life items in Kuwait, some are old and some are new.

Thanks a lot for such a great surprise, Huda!
