For those of you who are geographically challenged, please see the map below. Agreed the countries in the middle east are small, but understand that they are separate countries. Kuwait is not Saudi.
Nor is it Iraq.
It is neighbouring those countries though, as you can see.
Since it is not Saudi:
Yes women can drive.
No, I don't have to wear an Abaya every time I leave the house. ( Although, it would be handy to slip on over pajamas to run to the grocery store, or to hide a few pounds from eating out all the time)
You are right, alcohol is not allowed.
Yes, I am allowed to wear sleeveless tops to the mall.
No, I don't have to have a male relative escorting me.
Yes, there was a war there. It was in 1991/2. A long time ago. It was called "Desert Storm." It's over now.
No, Kuwait is not being invaded by an extremist religious group at this time.
( June 2014)
Yes, it is a Muslim Country.
Yes, it is a small country--you can drive across it in about 2 hours, depending on the traffic.
No, it is not Dubai. Although people do go to Dubai for the weekend to 'let their hair down." ( relatively speaking)
Map of the middle east. Canada is way to your left ( or right, if you go the long way round)
What I don't have to wear--although I think she is rockin' this look.
