There seems to be a new subdivision popping up all around the 360 Mall, with streets of new homes and a mini shopping center built so far. Directly adjacent to the mall parking lot is what was supposed to be a huge new tennis center, but construction has been put on hold indefinitely due to a feud between the developer and contractor.
These are all new single family dwellings. Massive and ugly, although I've seen much worse. Also, notice the pick-up truck and suburban in the background. Both popular vehicle choices in Kuwait.
In addition to a grocery store called Zarra, there's a Starbucks and a Mr. Baker which has little finger sandwiches which are pretty good and cheap. They also have lots of dessert items (display case shown above). What Kuwait lacks in alcohol it makes up in sugar. Sweets everywhere, not to mention the super syrupy "cocktails" they serve. I've eaten more ice cream since I've been here then I have in the last six months. Haagen Daas, Dippin' Dots, Dairy Queen... everything that would be a bar in the U.S. is a dessert place here.
