Still waiting

I would update this blog more often, but right now there's not that much to update. I'm still in Kuwait, awaiting a flight to Bagram (and I'll go onto Kabul from there). I check in once or twice a day, wait to see if any flights are available and then there's the whole process of who gets boarded first. So no luck so far; will check again tomorrow.

I have managed to watch an impressive list of DVDs while here, including I Am Legend, Sweeney Todd, The Wrestler and Delta Farce. I also sleep a lot and eat; that's about it :)

I did think it was interesting to learn that all Kuwaitis are paid a monthly stipend from their government (probably similar to the Meskwakis). So none of them work the menial jobs. The jobs on base and at the food places at the airport (really the only two places I've seen) are worked by Philippinos (like I'm back in Japan), Sri Lankans and other immigrants. Meanwhile you see dented up Mercedes abandoned on the highway because it was easy for the Kuwati to buy a new one than fix that one. Must be nice.
