Kuwait City Unfiltered: My Chaotic Take on Networking (or Not)

i’m sprawled on a rooftop in salmiya, sipping cheap instant coffee while the city hums and the sun paints the skyline a burnt orange

> overheard at a downtown cafe: the best shawarma spot is tucked behind the old bank but they close early on weekends
> rumor from a cab driver: the new co‑working hub on Abdullah Al‑Mubarak St. is basically a glorified warehouse with terrible Wi‑Fi

the weather today feels like a warm blanket left out in the sun all afternoon, humidity clinging like a cheap perfume; a short flight north drops you into the green fields of al‑jubail, a neighbor you can actually see from the airport

rent for a modest studio hovers around $550 a month, and the overall cost of living is about 20% lower than dubai but still higher than most gulf towns; most nights you can walk alone without a second thought about safety, but keep an eye on your bag in the souk

i’ve bookmarked a few spots for food and fun:
- TripAdvisor Kuwait City
- Yelp Kuwait
- r/KuwaitCity subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/KuwaitCity/)

here’s a quick visual of where you’re standing:
