Retracing Kuwait

About 50 years ago my grandfather working for Gulf Oil at the time packed up his family in Oklahoma and moved to the tiny Gulf country of Kuwait. My father was in his early teens, liked go-cart driving and getting into trouble. He doesn't remember much from that time but has some funny stories about expat life, curry and the Middle East. A lot of what I attribute to my current love affair with the region. So 50 years on myself living in fellow GCC country Qatar, decided to make a visit to my fathers old stomping grounds. What I found was pretty interesting.
