Warning. I’m havin’ a moment and need to interject some stuff here that isn’t directly Chantal related. The Middle East is a crazy, fun place to be. Yes most of its ugly but it’s fun. Chantal is not doing them Arabs proper.
I love the fact that there is no health and safety there. None. Electricity wires dangle down to the ground inside and out and sparks fly if you go near them with a liquid in your hand/bag.
The roads are full of HUGE holes. Not pot holes. Holes. And old people fall into them all the time.
The population navigate via car wrecks and pass on directions accordingly…….eg. “Keep going down here until you reach the flipped Toyota. Turn there and drive until you see the burnt out Honda. Make a right there and turn again when you’re approaching the Esso tanker on its side…..next left and you’re there
I’ve been watching Chantal guzzle down her soft drinks without really thinking about it, but I knew something was not computing for me. She’s had Coke, right? But mostly Pepsi. So I had to do a little digging. Many years ago when I was out and about around there…..NO COKE.
Coke was banned in many Muslim countries due to their embracing Israel as a nation and selling there. I know that we Kiwi Brethren love the nation of Israel, but Pepsi did not. It has taken years for Coke products to sneak into Muslim countries. Money talks, I guess.
When I was there, there was no coke, no Cadbury, alcohol and no pork sausages (except the ones my mother smuggled in in her ‘smuggling smock’……a large, voluminous maternity smock with pockets sewn inside around the belt and hem. We lived high on the hog with our whiskey, chocolate and sausages. We also survived on bathtub beer and home distilled moonshine, but I’m very off topic.
The local people (you’ll mostly be interacting with Indians because they run everything. Shops. Taxis. Housekeeping. But the local Arabs are very respectful of you as a white person. So fuck Chantal, but we were treated very kindly by all the mix of nationalities in Kuwait.
Muslims are useful to us when we need backup against the gays and the Troons, but they’re a weird bunch. I once asked a man who looked like this…
“WHY DO YOU ALWAYS WEAR WHITE.? He answered with “because white is a very cooling colour to wear in the heat”.
Then I asked, “Why do your women dress like this….in black….
He muttered something about Allah and looked at his shoes.
The Muslim /Jewish tension pervades life in any Muslim country. The funniest thing I came across was a tiny shack on the beach selling beach balls. Inflatable ‘Globe’ beach balls like this…
But the Muslim shopkeeper was so anti-Israel that he had taken a hole punch to Israel on every single ball. Thus he was selling inflatable balls that did not inflate because anything you blew in got farted out by Israel…..and there were disappointed children.
Sorry this been so random. Mods will delete if it’s simply way too OT. I just feel Chantal is not showing us this Nations best. It’s an amazing place. I mean, where else can you go picnicking in the desert and nearly get sold into white trafficking.
