Trash for survival
By NicoleB on Apr 30, 2008 | In Kuwait ('07-'08) | 9 feedbacks »

In Kuwait, one of the richest countries in the world (correct me if I’m wrong) you see people every day going through trash containers.
Collecting paper card boxes and tin cans.
They do that all day and deliver it and get money from the companies they deliver too.
This seems to be a whole network of those workers.
The other day in the paper was an incident where one of these collectors stabbed another one over some paper boxes.
What’s this to become? The tin and paper mafia of Kuwait?

Change of plans

We actually are not going anywhere today.
Instead I took the poochies to the beach.
Well deserved after being held hostage in the house without a longer walk for three days.
The weather is awesome. Not too hot yet, a nice breeze that smells like Spring flowers and the tide was finally high so the dogs could swim.

JoJo finally went into the water again too. She didn’t want to for quite some time now. I guess King that big stupid moron nearly drowned her one time.

Today I threw the bottles one time for King, let him lay down and stay and one time for JoJo and so on. Worked pretty well.
The Filipinos were there again too to catch fish and have a BBQ.

Some Kuwaitis were around too, but most not for long.

The Babyfish are there again too.

Saw a big school while standing almost hip deep in the nice and cool water ![]()

Sadly the beach is trashed. The worst I have seen since a long time.

A lot of stuff that the tide brings in, but due to the fact that today is the first day of the weekend you once again find a bunch of fast food packages.

I guess, I will go next week one or two mornings on a clean up mission again.
I really don’t get it.
Coming here and enjoying natures Beauty and leaving all that shit behind.
I wish the government would at least put a big trash container somewhere. But I guess, Mangaf beach is just not important enough.
Anyone cares to join me? Let me know ![]()
