My days here are coming to an end. I will leave Kuwait on Tuesday 26th Jan 2010. It was a nice experience, and a warm winter. I will return to Romania to face the blizzard and -20C.

It is the symbol of Kuwait and appears in all photos so I tried an original approach.
The Kuwait Towers are three towers of reinforced concrete in Kuwait City. The main tower is 187 meters high and serves as a restaurant and water tower. It also has a Viewing Sphere which rises to 123 meters above sea level and completes a full turn every 30 minutes. The second tower is 145.8 meters high and serves as a water tower. The third tower houses equipment to control the flow of electricity and illuminates the two larger towers. The towers hold 4,500 cubic meters of water.

The Al Hamra Tower is a super tall skyscraper currently under construction in downtown Kuwait City, Kuwait. Designed by architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, the tower will become the tallest building in Kuwait on completion in 2010 at 412 m (1,350 ft). It will also be the tallest sculpted tower in the world.
It is located near the place I worked in Kuwait.
