Hotel or Apartment? That is the question...mmmm.

Well folks,

you have now safely within the borders of Kuwait...congratulations. The next question is where do you stay? A hotel or apartment?..mmm..this is what you should consider (assuming you have a choice he he..)

A hotel is very nice, of course depending on which hotel you are in, but its small and its impersonal. Don't get me wrong the hotel staff are nice but you don't really feel you're in Kuwait. But if your life is just working from dawn till dusk...well hotel will be better for you.

An apartment is different. They normally come fully furnished and are nice as well. Mine was a two fully furnished two bedroom apartment equipped with LCD TV and a home theater system....pretty cool huh. Plus you can cook..well that doesn't mean that you should...he he. There is normally a caretaker in the building which is on call 24 hours. A little advice...give the guy a break if your TV's not working past midnight....call him tomorrow.They guy probably get about KD80 per month..so don't work him to death just because you can. But lets talk about the caretakers another time.

Anyways, hotel or apartment are normally temporary accommodation that your company gives you and soon and when I say soon its 100 days later you would have to look for your own accommodation. How to choose? Where to stay?..mmm lets talk about that another time.
