Every year,, on the 25th of February, Kuwait celebrates the advent of its Nazional day.

Kuwait City is divided into six ring roads. The first ring road is located in the center of Kuwait city. The ring roads expand until the 6th, outside the city center. The rings are inter-connected with excellent roads and high-ways.

There is a view of Istiqlal expressway (the 1st ring road) along the coastline.

In the center of the City are the headquarters for the most important banks of the country.

Beautiful and modern are the shopping Centers in Salmiya.

The Gold Market, the beautiful gold market , is my favourite "souk"... I adore watching for hours the windows of the jeweller's shops, that offer a great variety of necklaces, ear-rings, bracelets, and even large golden belts ... and when I decide to buy something (this happens after spending hours in front of the market windows ) I start dealing with store clerks, who kindly offer me a cup of tea... That's why they know that the dealing in order to decide the final price can last long... but in the end... the bargain is certainly struck!

The first time I went to the Gold market, I was astonished! I found so many jeweller' s shops , all with open doors... It was as they didn't have doors even... ... I asked: "Where are the reinforced doors ?" they answered me that in Kuwait such doors are useless because nobody dares to steal. Stealing is.. "Haram" (a sin).
