WHAT THE HELL ARE THE PARADE TIMINGS??????

OH MY GOD!  Kuwait is so frustrating.  There are all these parades going on - and people are announcing them and passing around schedules - and NO WHERE does it mention timings!  There is a parade "on the Gulf Road" (which is 25km long!) and a military parade in Subiya - no times! ( Military parade is 10 am - 4)

Here is some information I have been receiving from different sources throughout the day.  If you can add, please e-mail me.

Thanks for stopping by and it is so nice to hear from you! Just a few words on commenting: Through this blog, I won’t tolerate intolerance, hatred, finger-pointing or personal vendettas. If I even get those types of comments, I will most likely delete them because I believe it defeats the purpose of positive efforts and energy. Stop the hate.
