Last weekend was a bridge weekend. On Thursday we went to the, so called, private beach. It was a family day, that means that only family is allowed to enter. In Kuwait, there are also lady’s days when only women are allowed to enter.

What’s wrong with this picture?
When EU prepared a refugee relocation plan in September 2015, it assumed that EU will pay 6 000 euros for every person per year.
A little more than a half year later in May 2016, EU has new refugee relocation plan. It says that if some member country refuses to take refugees, it will have to pay 250 000 euros penalty per refugee per year.
The 3rd of May Constitution Day
Yesterday evening we went to the diplomatic event organize by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Kuwait to celebrate the 3rd of May Constitution Day.
For all those who do not know, the Polish Constitution was passed in 1791 (May 3rd) and it was the first constitution passed in Europe and second in the world after the United States.
I love buildings
We live in a nice, calm neighborhood. What I really love about the area are… buildings. They are all more or less the same size, 3-storage, but everyone is unique, I guess there is no two exactly the same houses in Kuwait – and this variety is beautiful. This picture of lovely streets is enriched by the cars parked up front – most of the time they are typical American SUV, but I also found, Porshe, Ferrari, and Lamborghini. Yes, a Lamborghini, standing in a front of the house for the whole night and nobody steals it – yeah, I know it is amazing, it could not happen in Poland.
It is amazing, that nobody steals things. You can leave your new iPad on a table in a coffee shop, come back two days later and it will be still there, where you left it. Culture is one thing, but I also think that people here are just too rich to steal.
And yes, another incredible thing, people who live in a non-democratic country can be rich. We have always been taught, that only in 100% democracy people can be rich. I just guess we have not been told exactly which people.
Welcome to Kuwait
Well, I never wanted to visit the Middle East even as a tourist, but life is tricky. Here I am… living in Kuwait.
And you know what? … it is not so bad.

Polish tradition
This post is for my friend who has Polish roots. This Polish tradition is a great fun for kids. On Holy Saturday, we prepare small baskets with different kind of food inside, from bread and meat to fruits and cake. The most important are salt and PAINTED eggs. And just painting eggs is the best fun for kids.
When baskets are ready we take them to church to bless.
