Kuwait City, Kuwait
So today I tried walking, something that is discouraged in Kuwait. Rather, you are requested to drive a Porsche. I wonder if I'm the country's first pedestrian. By the ocean (the Arabian Gulf, as it's called here, not the Persian Gulf) there a bunch of huge palaces that are opulent beyond belief. Then I engaged in the Kuwaiti national sport: shopping! The malls are very entertaining. Kuwaiti girls wear some weird shit. I heard two songs playing in the mall that made my smile. The first was Gasolina, and the second was some country gospel song. I wish that I was making this up. I actually did need to buy one thing, socks. When you walk a lot through dusty third world countries, your socks get destroyed. I left the US with two pairs of socks, and quickly realized I would need more. I bought three more pairs from a street dealer in Cairo, but they were very poor quality and wore out almost immediately. So by the time I got to Kuwait I had five pairs of socks that were almost completely destroyed. I successfully made the purchase then searched for a travel guide to Kuwait. The Virgin Megastore sold Lonely Planet guides to every country on earth except Kuwait. I know that an LP guide to Kuwait exists, but I've never been able to find it. This makes sense, because why would any tourist go to Kuwait?
