Kuwait: Now that I'm here...:

I wrote awhile back and found all the info/insight very useful. I've been here a week and everyone in Kuwait is so friendly. Glad I moved here! I was hoping to meet with some mums / nannys in the nearby area. I live in Fahaheel near the Sultan Centre and was looking for activity groups / meetups etc. I do not have a car and don't think I'll be getting one. Taxis are an option but hoping not to have to travel too far. Anyone out there nearby?? Thanks for your replies. Melissa

Kuwait: Telephones:

Hi David, Not sure if you can/already are doing this but I'd recommend using yahoo messenger chat with voice service. I'm about to move to Kuwait from the US and my husband is already in Kuwait and we do it everyday. Sometimes the sound quality is best with the actual pc to pc call but we've found that the conference is just as good if you don't mind pressing the TALK button. We haven't spent a penny on cell bills, calling cards or long distance. Only thing it has cost so far is 2 headset kits. If you're not already doing this worth checking into! Good Luck! Melissa

Kuwait: at home mom - hubby working out contract details:

Hi, I stumbled across this forum and am blown away by the good nature of all of you. I've got so many questions about life in Kuwait.... My hubby is due to arrive in Kuwait around mid - late July and I'll follow in late Aug. I've been an at home mom here in WI - USA since I can remember. My son is almost 2! I am very interested in getting a social network established for the 3 of us including family activities and toddler activities. Since preschool isn't realistic are there ample parks, museums, safe beaches, zoos to go to? I founded MOMS Club of Appleton and have meet some exceptional moms and would consider founding an international chapter if I can meet up with other at home moms in Kuwait. Anyone interested? So some of my questions.... How easy is it to get around town? How's public transportation? Should we buy a car? Is it worth hauling over large pieces of furniture such as couches or can we buy them fairly inexpensive? Just how safe is it raising children in Kuwait? What are some essentials I should make certain to bring? I'd imagine lots of maintence medications. What about calling cards? Is internet access reasonable affordable? I just wish someone would write a guide on what to expect! Things would be so much easier!! Thanks in advance for any replies and advise! Melissa
