Arabs VS. Americans [P.1: Streets]

Hello Again.
If you read my last blog post about the differences between Arabs and Americans then you will know what im going to be talking about in this post.If not then please read that post before you read this one.

This time im going to talk about the STREETS!.

There are alot of countless differences between our streets and the Americans' streets.Actually i think it would take me to write a book to finish up the whole thing with details.But im sticking to my blog for now.

Im not going to write an intro or anything im just going to dive in the topic.

In the Middle East,or specifically Kuwait,The streets are messed up in every meaning the word means.Literally.When you drive your car heading to a certain place,you can see accidents,at least 1 accident on your way even to the supermarket.And im not just talking about accidents because i will go on to that topic later on.Im talking about how bad the streets are.I mean they're not built ready.There are alot of holes in them.And alot of garbage!.I know its not someone's fault.Its everyones' fault.Because everyone these days drive in their cars while eating.And after they eat they dont want to trash their cars so the easiest way is to take it out on the streets.The easiest way is to throw them out there without a care.Some people actually throw pins,glass and even sharp tools in the streets.And guess what happens to the other people,their cars' tires get blown up.And sometimes it can lead to major road accidents.Sometimes it can lead the car to roll up with the passenger in it.Which causes maybe death,serious injuries..ect.And no im not making a big deal of it im just SAYING THE TRUTH THAT PEPPLE DENY.In the States,Its NOT OK to throw garbage out in the streets.If someone did it could lead up to serious charges.Such as jail for maybe 2 nights.No im not overreacting.But people in the States actually RESPECT LAW.Also in the US the streets are really being taken care of.It feels like driving on air when you drive in the streets.



The Traffic
Kuwait is known for it's black gold.So we must have a lot of cars in Kuwait.Its a fact not wish.And we're also known for traffic and rush hours 24/7!.Yes day and night always rush hours and traffic.When its school days theres always traffic in the main high way in the morning about 7 until maybe 10am.And also at the afternoon starting at 1pm 'till 4pm.And at night starting at 7pm until 11pm.Traffic all day!.In the morning its usual to have traffic because of schools and so the afternoon.But what is up with traffic at night?.People usually doesnt go out on school days.But anyway there is traffic at night.

Sometimes traffic can be caused by the stupidest things.Example: a car get in an accident and the driver is ok and everything is fine and everyone's ok.But the flaw in this picture is that a random person stops their car and just starts to stare at the people who had the accident.Without any reason.They might dont know each other but they still stand and stare.And that happens also when someone get killed because of a serious accident.And the people would crowd up on the dead body and take pictures with their camera phones.Seriously what would the other people,visitors or foreign people, think about Kuwaiti people?.I think that its so rude to just stare at any victim of an accident.People who does such a thing like that should be ashamed of themselves and just get a life.I mean dont you have better thing to do than just stare at a harmless person?.In America,there can be accidents.But the difference is that NO ONE would stare or make a big deal of it.Because if someone stopped and just stared without a purpose,They would get a ticket or spend a night in jail.It is true I've seen it happen.


View of the streets
When you drive on the roads,wouldn't you wish that when you look out from your window shields that there is something beautifull to look at?.When i say beautiful i mean other than one small tree surrounded by sand,sand,and more sand.And adding large black trash bags!.Now that you finally wanted to clean the streets dont you want to continue your work and drop it somewhere else?.Like trash cans?.Back to the views.In the US when you drive,you would stare at amazing views that can get you to accidents LOL.I mean you would be so numbed just by looking at the amazing views they have starting with the greens,grass,flowers..ect(countless).



ZOO FOR FREE
In Kuwait.When you drive,you WILL ALWAYS find cats,cats,cats,and cats!.Cats in everywhere.sitting on the large trash cans or just walking on the street.Its like a free zoo out in the streets!.In the US its NOT ALLOWED TO RELEASE CATS IN THE STREETS!.What if some new disease started in the future..Like CATS FLU!.Then Kuwait will be dead!(Ismilla 3laina).




There you go alot of difference between the two nations.Sometimes i wonder why's Kuwait late?.Why's Dubai better than Kuwait?.And then i remember!.Kuwait businessmen always ask the same question.Why cant Kuwait be the next Dubai?.Why's Dubai getting more tourists than we are?.Why's everyone rather visit Dubai than Kuwait?..WHY ,WHY ,WHY ?
Ask yourself that question.I bet you will find the answer hovering in the air.



Thats it for this post.
Stay tuned for the next part of the equation =]
