Finally, I have arrived in Kuwait!!!

WOW, this long process is 99% over. Yes I said 99% because now I have issue with my NOC but more on that later.
My first impression of the country, other than the stereotypical thoughts, is it's nicer than I expected. Yes it's hot, windy, and extremely busy here. I didn't expect for so much to be going on at all hours of the night and day.

 I flew Etihad Airlines. If you ever get to fly to the Middle East you MUST fly with them. Nicest flight ever and the First and Business Class Pods are NICE!!!!

 This is the view from my apartment. I don't have any curtains yet so all of the sunlight is getting in. We are living far away from the city center and Dasman, so it seems no matter where I live I'm a suburban girl.

 The picture above is my view from work. The school is right across the street from the Gulf. That's an added bonus.

My living quarters are decent but lack that home feeling, nothing a trip to the supermarket can't fix.

 The classrooms in my building are very similar to typical American classes, they are just missing the technology we take for granted. I walked in and the first thing I noticed was the one computer on my desk and no projector. The projector was 80% of my teaching in American since we didn't have textbooks I would just go to Google and show the kids what I was talking about.  

My class is similar to the class I taught in America. It's a self-contained low level class. I currently have 5 students on my roll, more are expected to come as the week goes on. I'm learning that no matter where you go parents will register their children when they feel like it.

The school is a mixture of a few old buildings with newer ones connected.
