I got in about 5:30pm, and have to admit the process to enter was very easy, much easier than any other place I have been before. I was thankful for people meeting me at the gate, helping me with luggage, and allowing me to get settled in.
My first thoughts of Kuwait were just normal...there was no honking like I had experienced in Egypt and India. There were just people driving cars. For some of you this may seem like a mute point, but it was something for me. The amount of travels I have experienced, I find myself feeling at home already, even though I may not look like those around me, I feel like for the first time in a long time, I don't stick out as much as I have before.
Unpacking and putting everything in its place is what I spent most of the night doing. Trying my hand at the internet, it has been awhile since I used normal rather than wireless.
Then today we went to The Avenues. It is a huge mall, and honestly it has more in it then I think any of the malls I have been to recently. I am definitely not in a Third World Country. The cleanliness that am experiencing is something that I haven't experienced for awhile.
I will admit that my eyes lit up at the sight of Bath and Body Works and Taco Bell. I seriously wasn't expecting those things at all.
I am excited for this journey...excited to make a home for myself, and excited to meet my students. But most of all I am excited to just be me. I know that I am starting over, and that is good. I get to be the best version of myself, something that I have not been for a little while. So as I continue to get acquainted with life here. I am going to sit back and relax a little bit. Maybe even take a nap. For this adventure is about to really begin!
