First day

The first day was quite eventful...after having been introduced to the very friendly and helpful staff, composed of various nationalities, I already got my first job, namely to take over the preparation for the "settima italiana" which is an Italian week at the end of october. I'll be in charge because my superiour will be on vacation. We still have to decide if we'll be able to show the movie we wanted to due to the censorship....

Then in the evening followed two receptions, one at the French embassay, which was more a casual event and getting together in the library inside the embassy, and the other in the German embassy to celebrate their national day. Well, the food was outstanding, but the desert was just amazing :)  and yes, even at these suit-up occasions one can make contacts with the similar age group...even in Kuwait ;)...(even though the young folks confirm that life as a teenager is not overwhelmingly interessting here...only fast and expensive cars...but a way to date is..now listen carefully...to drive up with your expensive car on "Kuwait's date street" and pass out your number to girls you would like to meet...and you're hooked up...)..well, they said how else could you meet people if there are no clubs/bars allowed in town...;)

so all in all the first day was a very good beginning to the internship. Even though not all days will be like this, the experience has taken off in a nice way, so it was already worth the early waking up time :)
(sorry for not taking pictures in the embassies, but out of courtesy I left the camera at home ;)
