Kuvajt

je grad/država u jugozapadnoj Aziji. Na istoku izlazi na Persijski zaliv. Na severu se graniči sa Irakom, a na jugu sa Saudijskom Arabijom. Većinu zemlje čini ravna pustinja. Danas ima ukupno oko 2 miliona stanovnika.

Kuvajt je ustavna monarhija sa najstarijim direktno izabranim parlamentom među arapskim nacijama u Persijskom zalivu. Zemljom upravlja dinastija Al Sabah a šef države je emir ili šeik. Kuvajt ima BDP od 167,9 milijardi dolara, što ga čini petom najbogatijom zemljom sveta. Prema indeksu ekonomske slobode, zauzima drugo mesto na Bliskom istoku.

Mala zemlja u jugozapadnoj Aziji na Arapskom poluostrvu sa izlazom na Persijski zaliv, običnom putniku koji dođe u posetu čini se kao da se odjednom našao u nekoj divnoj priči iz 1001 noći. Ova zemlja je oaza usred pustinje, a njeni stanovnici nigde ne žure, kažu „polako, biće sve dobro, posao će se završiti“.

Velelepne građevine, čija je velika većina modernih, ali ima i onih u arapskom stilu, moderni putevi, najmoderniji automobili, raskoš i sjaj. U ovoj zemlji radnu snagu čine uglavnom Indijci, Senegalci, Libanonci, Filipinci ali i ljudi iz evropskih zemalja koji sreću traže u bogatoj zemlji. Kuvajćani ne rade teške poslove.

Ono što je zapanjujuće za ljude koji dolaze iz balkanskih zemalja je savršena usluga. U prodavnici, restoranu, hotelu zaposleni se pažljivo i sa puno poštovanja odnose prema gostima. Kod njih zaista važi ona ugostiteljska i trgovačka krilatica „gost i kupac su uvek u pravu“.

Kada uđete u trgovački centar, imate osećaj da ste na nekoj od evropskih glavnih ulica, centar je natkriven i klimatizovan a šetalište uređeno mramornim i betonskim kockama. Ne postoji prodavnica na svetu a da je ne možete naći ovde. Ovde se dobro zarađuje ali se i nemilice troši.

Kuvajt finansira školovanje svojih mladih na svetskim univerzitetima, uz obezbeđen smeštaj i stipendiju, uz samo jedan uslov – da donesu diplomu. Samim tim su i osobe koje ovde dolaze kao profesori jezika izuzetno cenjeni.

U Kuvajtu postoje univerziteti, škole koje zapošljavaju isključivo radnike iz inostranstva. Iz iskustva ljudi koji su se zaposlili kao predavači jezika, utisci su generalno odlični. Po pitanju balkana, najviše ljudi ima iz Srbije koji za mesec dana u Kuvajtu zarade godišnju platu u Srbiji. Naravno, uvek zavisi od pozicije, škole, univerziteta. Život je dosta skup i zagađenje grada nije zanemarljivo, ali konstantno se radi na unapređenju kvaliteta života.

According to the index of economic freedom, it ranks second in the Middle East.

A small country in southwest Asia on the Arabian Peninsula with access to the Persian Gulf, an ordinary traveler who comes to visit seems to suddenly find himself in some wonderful story from 1001 Nights. This country is an oasis in the middle of the desert, and its inhabitants are in no hurry, they say „slowly, everything will be fine, the job will be done“.

Magnificent buildings, the vast majority of which are modern, but there are also those in the Arabic style, modern roads, the most modern cars, luxury and splendor. In this country, the labor force consists mainly of Indians, Senegalese, Lebanese, Filipinos, but also people from European countries who are looking for happiness in a rich country. Kuwaitis do not do hard work.

What is amazing for people coming from the Balkan countries is the perfect service. In the shop, restaurant, hotel, the employees treat the guests carefully and with a lot of respect. The catering and trade slogan „the guest and the customer are always right“ really applies to them.

When you enter the shopping center, you have the feeling that you are on one of Europe’s main streets, the center is covered and air-conditioned and the promenade is decorated with marble and concrete cubes. There is no store in the world that you can’t find here. You make good money here, but you also spend it relentlessly.

Kuwait finances the education of its young people at world universities, with accommodation and scholarships provided, with only one condition – to bring a diploma. Therefore, the people who come here as language teachers are extremely appreciated.

There are universities in Kuwait, schools that employ only workers from abroad. From the experience of people who have been employed as language teachers, the impressions are generally excellent. Regarding the Balkans, most people are from Serbia who earn an annual salary in Serbia in a month in Kuwait. Of course, it always depends on the position, the school, the university. Life is quite expensive and the pollution of the city is not negligible, but we are constantly working on improving the quality of life.
