As a teacher teaching in a Muslim school, I am careful to be respectful to Islam and the Arab world. Sadly, many here do not reciprocate that respect. My experiences are cautionary for any Westerners considering being an Expat in Kuwait. You will be treated as a high class servant, but a servant nevertheless. Your wages will be higher if you are an American, a Brit, a Kiwi, an Aussie, etc. but if you have a dispute the threat of their ministry or their legal system is real. They will block your exit. You will be delayed at your own expense. All the money you saved will be lost. Thankfully, I've learned my lesson before it went that far, but even though the money is good, DO NOT choose Kuwait.
