It has been a few years, but I worked and lived there.
Lots of time off at base, we were over staffed on the 747.
Boring in Kuwait, if one of us had smuggled in a bottle, or made wine, a party could be had.
Otherwise the highlight of the day was to go shopping and eat dinner at the mall.
Booooring.
Many of us tried to catch a ride to London or Dubai for a few days of pub-hopping on Duty-Free periods: Can't do, you are a prisoner, Kuwait Airways will not issue an exit visa unless you ask permission in advance, or have an emergency.
Night stops was ok, good hotels and we got paid cash for per-diem at the hotel counter, strange system..
Catering was good, the Kuwaitis were ok to fly with, except for a few arses..
All in all, not a fun place to work.
If you can negotiate a London or Paris base, it would be a great job.
