Introduction
***************
About three months ago I was lucky enough to go to Kuwait with mixed emotions to what I might find. Kuwait is usually regarded as a country similar to Iraq and Iran in culture however this couldn't be further from the truth. It is more westernised than I could have ever imagined.

Advantages: some parts of the film are interesting to watch Disadvantages: No jokes, no nudity, no real action.
