Being the LARGEST Expat community in Kuwait (as per our Ambassador’s speech on 26th Jan 08), I strongly feel that Indians have not got their place in this country and are not respected for what they really deserve.

I have seen too few Indians talking to other expats/locals 1 to 1. While speaking on this subject with my Kuwaiti Boss, I felt that He has an Indian Driver & a maid at home and Indians as Senior Executives in the office, it is very difficult for him make any opinion or have a general respect for the Class called Hindi over here.

Indians are more polite and sub while talking to others but suddenly a polite Indian becomes an Arrogant Indian when he is talking to other Indian fellow. I have not seen it wit any other community.. I always see a filipina greeting other filipina with respect and a Lebonese being extra sweet to another lebonese person. Why Indians do not respect the Indians itself..

let us start respecting ourselves.. then expect respect from others..!! Gosh.. what the F*** I am saying.. completely out of context….

BTW… Try Mowasat Hospitalmy experience with them is better than Apollo and Local clinics. But only if you have Medical insurance.. or be prepared for a peeeeeel off..!!!

Thanks for your all your wishes.

I’m finally feeling much better
Just wish nobody else has to go through this. I guess we feel comfortable that there are Indian docs at Yiaco Apollo who would understand us, so it’s just very sad that they think people do not fall sick on a Friday.

Gals & guys, try not to fall sick.

So what was the verdict? Have we found one nice hospital with efficient expat staff so we can boycott the rest?

Personally I think it’s not just hospitals (which have become a get rich quick cauldron for some people) it’s with anything that concerns customer service in Kuwait.

It’s like the people that work for these corporate houses of disgust think that they’re doing you a favor by answering your questions or tending to your problems. I’ve been having major arguments with a whole bunch of people regarding this and this list includes the people from Showtime, NBK and the works. Even my bakala guy seems to be getting bolder day by day!

I suppose having experienced the best of customer service all over the world, one does get a little agitated when you get into a similar situation in Kuwait. Of course there are a few good eggs in the basket but overall it’s quite appalling I must admit.
