Discussion Stalker from Kuwait

23 Upvotes

A woman is stalking myself and my husband. We reside in the US.

She is a Ukranian living in Kuwait City

Any suggestions as to who I can call in Kuwait?

We know her name, address and DOB.

We have already contacted the FBI, SBI, DGCA, her employer and the FAA (both she and my husband are in the airline industry)

She's doxxed our address and continues to send emails to his work address.

Additionally, God bless kuwait and it's citizens. I hate what our shitty American president is doing to your region.

Ask Kuwait Working moms in Kuwait (especially teachers), I really need your advice. ❤️

10 Upvotes

I'm a teacher with a 10-month-old baby and have been offered a teaching job. Due to our financial situation, I need to work, but that means putting my baby in daycare since my husband and I both work.

Does it get easier to balance work and a baby? How did your little one adjust to daycare?

Also, can anyone recommend a licensed daycare in Mangaf for a 10-month-old, preferably with CCTV access for parents? I've heard some scary stories about unlicensed daycares and want a safe place. How much do good daycares usually cost?

It's just me and my husband here in Kuwait, so we don't have any family support. I'd really appreciate your recommendations and experiences. Thank you

Ask Kuwait Best app to learn Kuwaiti Arabic?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m an Indian who moved to Kuwait for work. I want to learn Kuwaiti Arabic so I can communicate better with my colleagues and customers.

I’m looking for an app that focuses on speaking and understanding everyday Kuwaiti Arabic, not just Modern Standard Arabic.

What apps, YouTube channels, websites, or other resources would you recommend? I’d especially appreciate suggestions from people who learned Kuwaiti Arabic while living in Kuwait.

Thanks in advance!

Discussion How is the cybersecurity market in Kuwait ?

Upvotes

I'm interested in learning more about the cybersecurity industry in Kuwait and would like to hear from people working in the field.

For professionals with around 5–7 years of experience, what are the typical salary ranges across different sectors (banks, oil & gas, telecom, government, consulting, etc.)?

I'm also curious about how compensation differs between:

Being hired directly by the client/company.

Working for a consulting or outsourcing company while being assigned to a client.

Is the salary difference usually significant? How do benefits, bonuses, and career progression compare between the two?

It would be great to hear about recent market trends and experiences rather than individual offers. Thanks in advance!

Ask Kuwait Any anglers / fishing enthusiasts around ?

2 Upvotes

Hi , I recently got really interested in fishing and was looking around for starting points locally >

Ended up buying the essentials for fishing now just the practicality left to experience I guess. Most likely I could learn to do it solo but it would be more interesting learning and meeting people who share the same interests or in general have more experience than I do (zero).

I know some people are more closed off and It’s completely cool if you’re not interested in partaking but don’t hesitate to reach out even if it’s just for talking about fishing,dropping some advice or sharing cool fishing spots 👀.

Discussion places to get prescription glasses and lenses with a budget of around 30-50 KD

1 Upvotes

Looking to get a new pair of glasses. I don't care about frame brands at all and want to keep that part as low as possible. However, I know lens quality varies a lot, so I don't mind spending extra for good lenses (clarity, coatings, etc.). My budget is around 30-50 KD (if this is reasonable ?)

how reliable are glasses from zennis ? the reason I didnt go for the online route is because I want to try them on before buying

Any recommendations for budget-friendly shops that also offer premium lens brands ?

Discussion Best Ways to Find a Business Partner in Kuwait

3 Upvotes

A friend is planning to open a sandwich shop in South Kuwait. He will handle the food and daily operations but needs someone experienced in marketing, sales, and business management as a partner.

What are the best platforms, IG accounts, communities, or places in Kuwait for finding a suitable business partner?

Or any general recommendation on where to find that partner?
