First post from Kuwait

Hey everyone. After finding out that we STILL don't know when we're getting internet, I decided to walk to Starbucks and pay KD 3 for five hours of internet access. We have been here a little over a week and we are learning A BUNCH. We are living in a brand new apartment building in a suburb/town somewhere around Kuwait City. They are very nice, with two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room and a kitchen. We have went shopping at all the bigger malls in the immediate area. The one we went to a couple days ago has 7 Starbucks in it. We don't know when we will be starting work yet. We drove to a few of the work sites this morning. I have no idea yet where I will be working. Our vehicles are supposed to be here sometime soon, which will be nice, as we have been taking a taxi everywhere we have been going. At KD 2 to KD 5 round trip, it can get expensive quickly. We walk everywhere that we can, but sometimes it is just too far. The weather today is a high of 41 C and a low of 30 C with winds 25-45 km/h. Our visibility today has been around 5 miles, rather than the normal 10+ miles due to the amount of sand in the air. Most of the time driving today our visibility was 1-2 miles, but it dropped several times to 100-200 meters, and one time dropped to around 30 meters due to sand. The sand blowing across the road looks like snow blowing across the road, only tan of course. Well, that's about all the information I have for now; I will try to get on here more often now that I bought time. Hopefully we get internet soon and I can get my magic jack phone up and working. Talk to you all again soon.
