Just for a quick hop to the rural area where we lived.

Don’t be scared, it’s fun

So, I’m not one to fool myself easily about living conditions of some people here in Kuwait, I’m always a bit sad to see them with my own eyes.

Last week I took a walk around the ‘hood here in Mangaf and found structures that look like old traditional houses. Well, Leftovers of those at least.

2 of them inhabited.

One in not THAT BAD of shape and inhabited by maybe more than one family with cars and all, maybe even Kuwaitis. At least one guy, working on his car, looked like it.

Now, what really irritated me, is the one that was in the worst shape AND inhabited is right beside a mosque.
Again, I don’t have the right to judge anyone and I won’t, but by posting these pictures you can make up your own mind about what I am thinking about it.
I don’t blame you when you don’t comment.
Because all I could say about what I felt that moment would probably get me right to jail

Someone was just hanging the laundry there and behind the house some guys were unloading vegetables from a van. I didn’t want to embarrass them or get into trouble by taking more pictures.

And this is just one case that I happened to stumble upon. I’m sure there are even worse cases.

Again, this is not my country, nor my religion or politics - I just post what I see.

Erst reissen sie in der Nachbarschaft seit heute morgen halb sieben ein Haus ab. Dann transportieren sie mit einem kleinen Transporter den Schutt von der Abrisstelle neben unser Haus, auf das, was einmal Parkplaetze waren und nun sammelt ein Bagger den ganzen Muell anscheinend auf einem Haufen, immernoch neben unserem Haus. Mal sehen, wozu…

Das Holz wurde uebrigens getrennt gelagert:

Vielleicht wird das ja wieder verwendet (

GEIL!
Der Schutt wird einfach ein wenig zur Seite geschoben.
Doch wenigstens wird hier der Muell getrennt.
