Hi Everyone!

Ramadan Kareem!!!!!!!!! :-)

I'm a 36 year old lady from Toronto,Canada!聽 Newly arrived in Kuwait with my German husband.聽 My parents originally come from Brunei and Malaysia (Chinese heritage) and so I have Muslim family too!

This is my second official time in Kuwait-- the first time was waaaay back in 1995 where I came as a scholarship student from the University of Toronto to the University of Kuwait to study Arabic and I loved it back then as I do now!

It's great to be back here -- my husband and I call it our 15 year anniversary since I met him here:-))))

Enjoying my time here and looking forward to meeting all of you on the Forum! You all seem like an Awesome bunch!

Read through the thread about the Kuwaiti restaurant-- hey, maybe we should all meet up at that聽 restaurant Fareej in Salmiya sometime!聽

Take care!

Should mention I saw your pics of that restaurant in Salmiya-- looks absolutely delicious!!!

Hope to meet up with you sometime!
