I feel so happy if I see that in Kuwait! My husband always wants me to drive, and MAN I love driving. I think it’s a respect and trust from the man to his woman to let her or asks her to drive.
I lived in a huge house when I was in Kuwait (my father’s). In Kuwait it was so normal, but then in Finland they were so amazed how everyone in Kuwait could have those big villas!
Here in Cyprus it’s the same as in Kuwait; people are brought up in houses. Now slowly you start seeing people buying apartments, but the strange thing is: they buy the apartment thinking that after 10 years we could rent it and get a house.
I personally think it doesn’t matter. I won’t go over my head financially to buy a house, so I won’t mind an apartment. I’m happy my husband thinks the same. I respect the people who don’t care about other people and what they say and think, and just do what they believe is better for themselves and their family!
It’s true in Kuwait when you live in an apartment you’ll be seeing your neighbors more, and has to be more quit and aware of all noises! The way every one will hear everything goes on behind the walls!
I didn’t know that you didn’t have the building’s keeper or a company that is responsible about the apartments! In Fin we still pay a very reasonable monthly prize for the company or the building’s care taker. It’s usually something like 100-150 euros a month. So every year that money will be put to fix the building. As you said painting, fixing and get the lift serviced! Lamps changed and so on! I think it’s fair! And maybe in Kuwait it will be a good idea if the residents of the building get together and agree on such small company made by them just to keep their life easier! I don’t know if it’ll work but this is the way we have it in most parts of Europe!
Ok you have a point with the parking! I just keep on forgetting that kids will be living with you even after 18 and 21 years!
My fault I think I’ve been too long away from our culture there! But also the parking, you don’t get to buy it in Fin! It goes with the monthly payments, you rent it! So we will be able to rent 3 parking after a while if needed. Maybe not for my kids’ cars, but 2 for my and my husband’s cars, then 1 more for our motorbikes! So still when I get over 60 or 70 I might not need 3 parking places so I give a way the ones I don’t need any more and get rid of the parking rent!
Houses are expensive every where! My father put on his house there at least 400,000KD and I think that is too expensive. I won’t be doing such thing for sure!
I really think it will be a good idea if Kuwaitis actually start seeing life in more reasonable way and try to fix the problems that you mentioned that come with it!
I know I wrote a bit too much, but this was such an interesting subject! My husband had to listen to me talking about it for over an hour!! He doesn’t speak Arabic so he couldn’t listen to it!
I think you guys are so wonderful!!
Comment by Transparently — March 23, 2007
I love the topics you guys talk about, they’re very relevant and specific, so i want to thank you for your effort, and hope you bring more issues to the table.
I think it would be odd to see a woman driving next to her husband, but I wouldn’t think it was a bad thing, but probably a good thing. Change can be good. I wouldn’t mind it if my wife drives while I enjoy the passenger’s seat, besides they can multi task, so they can drive and talk etc
About the apartment, it is a very viable option, but like you said most Kuwaitis do want their own space, their own home, because of the privacy and the feeling of ownership and having something. I would not mind living in an apartment, but I would love to have a house some day enshalla.
thanks and welcome on board … just make sure you mention us to your friends to get a wider audience base
and LOOOL at the multi tasking thing … it is TRUE unless the girls checking this comment disagree
and totally agree at the ownership and more space aspects which makes kuwaiti families prefer houses over apartments and wish you all the best obtaining your house

guys!!!
wain ra7at my commen!!
it was there before u moved!
what did u doOoo!!!
p.s
would u settle down already!
sorry for the trouble … I have been moving things around lately but it is for the good of our blog … we are just trying to get more and more options for you guys … so bare with us
thanks for your concern
Comment by eshda3wa — March 23, 2007
ok i calmed down.. im gna recomment
if i saw a woman driving and a man in the passenger seat i’d be totally surprised, cz thats not a common site, but its cool
and i have a question, whats up with guys and the front seat? why do guys have to sit in front? yan3e whenever we go out my brother HAS TO sit jidam, eventhough im older, ygole ana elrayal, so what ur gna be less of a rayal if u sit wara?
could u clear up the secret behind the seat?
i love apartments! ide take an apartment over a house any day. When i was younger we used to live bait yadity in an apartment, el7mdela nothing like the one u put a picture of. Its alot cozier and u know what everyone is doing the whole time, a7ad ydish y6la3 et7es feeh, i felt alot closer to my fam then. bs now in the house everyone has their own corner. my bro his own dowaniya, i feel alot more detached. so its apartments for me, except for the parking thing, ppl should start with underground parking
another great episode guys !
sorry again for the trouble you were facing submitting your comment … and LOOL at your brother claiming the front seat and using the man most famous phrase “It is mine coz i am a guy” lool … it never worked out for me by the way
apartments are great for single people and couples and yeah the r homier and calmer
it seems like you like having your family surrounding you all the time which apartments can provide becuase they are smaller
Comment by Ghasheema — March 23, 2007
a woman driving and her husband next to her….hmmmm…and a man in the manner you described…ghetra wo 3gal ow mesba7 ba3d..ow raz nafsa yem merta….I would say weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen al rejoolah
be a gentleman and treat the lady right…..spoil her ya abu ghetra ow 3gal….sij reyayeeel akher zeman :PPP
and i say live in an apartment so you can hear their fight about who will drive….eh guyys
I love living in apartments….except for repairs as you said
condo’s style is better…the one with the maintenance fee as you mentioned is much better…….
and apartments are definitely NOT for big families….
and you guys are so funny…ya7lelkum wallah
LOOOOL at your comment on the first part of our episode … “? ??? ???? ?? ????” hehehehe LOOL
thanks for you comment and we love hearing from you every now and then
