For those asking about pictures, I am going to try and set up a Flickr account for all my Dubai pictures.

As for Kuwait, there really is nothing to see yet. I am in a hotel in what is called the Kuwait Free Trade Zone. It is basically an industrial park. Seen one – seen ‘em all. This little wedge of cars and concrete is squished between a university (somewhere beyond those walls…) and the one of Kuwait’s ports. I’ve watched as big cargo ships pull in and large trailer trucks of cars and sheep roll out. But not together. The cars and sheep…

If I get to stay in one of the apartments I saw, then there will be plenty to look at. Once you get toward civilization, it may indeed look like Beirut… just without the gunfire.
