  • I travelled to Kuwait as I've always been curious about the culture in the Gulf. This is one of the episodes from my series in Middle East where I explain first impressions and how to see Kuwait in 24 hours.

      @@aliemarat7265 No, how is this? I am Kuwaiti and we have a large Iranian population and there is no dispute between Iran and Kuwait. Man, there are 1 million Iranians in Kuwait and they have jobs and an Iranian and Kuwaiti cooperation government and they are the best neighbours.

      Because he is not a Kuwaiti. The one who works in restaurants or places of tea and coffee is not Kuwaiti expats. I do not know why he did this, but Kuwaiti society respects women, and Kuwait is a free and democratic country that respects all segments of society.

    • @AleSalvino
      @AleSalvino  Рік тому +1

      Indeed, it was so weird! This is just my opinion but when we arrived Kristina asked him to please clean the table (there were some cigarettes and stuff), he said "ok" but in his face there was this look of "you don't tell me what to do". After that incident, we got the tea for free. We'll never know exactly what it was but still my theory was he didn't want a woman to tell him what to do (even though Kristina was very respectful) but then he realised the joke was not funny, so he gave us the tea for free. However, the rest of Kuwaiti people were super nice, so our only weird experience was with that guy. 😅

And their claiming theyre Muslim. There are tons of gays are living there too. Peace be upon you! Let karma avenge for those victim of abuse.
