New Places, Old Faces

When we signed on to work in Kuwait we talked between ourselves of how all places in the world Kuwait seemed like a funny place for us to end up. Not that Kuwait isn't proving itself to be a very nice place to live, but it was not at the top of our list as we were thinking of new destinations to go to.

Not long after we had signed our contract with our new school, we talked to our friend Crystal, who we have known for years, who was also thinking about working internationally. She had told us that she was signed up for the  job fair and was excited to she what opportunities came her way. To our absolute surprise and amazement the next time we talked to Crystal she told us that she had signed with a school in Kuwait too. Now all of a sudden we are in a country that we had never planned on being in not by ourselves but with one of our best friends. The world is small and sometimes works in crazy ways. Kuwait gets better by the day!
