Portico

This is the portico of the Chalet (I had posted yesterday). It was pleasant sitting there in the morning with a hot cup of coffee. The air was pretty nippy. This portico is an extension of the living room.


This is the path to the right of the portico leading to the beach. The guy is the caretaker of the Chalet. He had 4 or 5 cats constantly following him.

Chalet

Went to this Chalet (110Kms away from the city) over the weekend. Weekend hols in Kuwait are on Friday and Saturday. It's overlooking the beach but it was too chilly to enter the water.

All property in Kuwait is owned only by locals. Expats can only rent out accommodation.

The left most window is one of the bedrooms, the middle windows is where the swimming pool is, the right top window is the living room, and on the ground floor (with the small tiled roof) is the game room. It has two snooker tables, a fooseball game, and a table tennis table.

Villa

A pretty looking Kuwaiti villa in the Shamiya area. This belongs to one family. What I mean is one `building' is one house! Due to the extreme climate, we rarely see children playing outside their homes. Every area has a garden and the beach is always a 10 or 15 minutes drive, so that's where parents with their kids head most evenings. Shopping, ofcourse, is another favourite activity in Kuwait. What do you do most evenings?
