Liberation Day Celebration






It was quite a party down on Gulf Road. The "tradition" is to dress up in National Colors and spray foam on cars and people. It was a fun time. At least no one I knew got hurt iIt turned violent later in the evening when a young man sprayed foam on a woman and the group she was with didn't like it. One death resulted.

My favorite memory was when the carload of women dressed in full covering (Abayas) rolled down their window, sprayed foam at me and yellwed "Welcome to Kuwait". I thought it was pretty cool, until my students told me it was probably men dressed up. Oh well, I enjoyed it anyway.
