Let the Celebrations Begin!

Cutey patootie during AIS National Sing The Anthem day a week ago. All schools in Kuwait were requested to stop all of school and sing the National Anthem of Kuwait to commemorate the beginning of the month of celebration. Not so odd if you think about the fact that many schools in the US regularily say the Pledge to Allegiance.

As you probably guessed, the colors of Kuwait's flag are red, white, green and black. You can buy ALMOST anything with these colors on it, as this pictures details.

The bigger, the better when it comes to displaying your flag.


On February 25 and 26, Kuwait is celebrating the 50th year of their Independence (from England); the 20th year of the liberation (thank you US) and the 5th year of the reign of the Emir Jaber Al-Ahmed Al -Jaber Al -Sabah. So there's a lot to be happy about!! In addition in two weeks, we will be celebrating the Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him) birthday (which was moved from Tuesday to Thursday in order to properly celebrate) We've been given three extra days off from school. I guess you could say it's the equivalent of celebrating 4th of July, Armistice Day, President's Day and Christmas all at once!
