    i was in Kuwait right after the first gulf war, i was there for a couple of years, kaya lang lahat ng basic needs ko (housing, food, laundry, transport) eh sagot ng company namin.

    Working/Living condition is ok naman compared to Saudi Arabia. Hindi sya ganun kahigpit compared sa Saudi Arabia. Although bawal dun ang toma, pero marami kang makukunan

    Grabe lang dun kapag summer, talagang mainit. Aabot ang temp sa 43-45 Deg. Celsius at ang humidity (tabing dagat eh) eh sobraaaaaa talaga.

    Cost of living is cheaper naman compared to lets say Singapore.

    HTH

    Frank,

    oks yan pre, kung sagot na nila housing. At least yung gastos mo sana sa housing eh sa ibang bagay na mapupunta.

    Pre, di kakapal kalyo mo dun, maraming "Pinay" dun na "oks " naman.

    Entertainment? Maki-halubilo ka lang sa mga Pinoy dun maraming sikret gimik dun or indulge yourself into sports.

    Or go shopping spree ng mga alahas and electronics.

    Kaya lang, 2 years contract. hmmmm......

    Ano yan two years walang uwian? o you can go on vacation after a year or after your two year contract?

    frank,

    First thing I learned working abroad is patience. Especially if you're are working with other nationalities. Iba ang mentality ng mga yan.

    Kung may family ka na (wife & kids) kalaban mong matindi is homesickness. Kaya I would like to stress dapat meron kang ibang outlet (chicks or sport or whatever).

    Kung gigimik ka man ng "medyo illegal", siguraduhin mo lang na walang sabit Pre. Dahil kapag nahuli kayo ng otoridad, kulong ka sigurado.

    Basically homesickness ang pinaka matindi mong kalaban dyan. Sabi nga naming mga beterano sa disyerto eh, yun ang binabayaran sayo dyan.

    Just keep in mind that you went there for the "money" not as a tourist.

    dagdag ko lang,

    communication at home:

    sanayin mo na si Mrs na sa email na lang kayo magcommunicate, hirap pag voice, as ARTPOGI said, you're there for money not as a tourist.

    Bootlickers:

    eto ang una mong dapat kilalanin. dangerous species ang mga ito ika nga.

    nationalities:

    lebanese - matatalino, kadalasan sa finance ang mga ito, experience from Saudi, puro managers lahat.

    palistinian - magandang pakisamahan

    pakistani and indians - give them the prestige that they want he he

    filipino - d best of course, PAG sa ibang department naka-assign, kasi kalaban mo ito pagdating ng vacation leave schedule, lalo pag christmas.

    Good luck
