Salmiya, my home in the 80s 💖

Oh my God, the memories are flooding back. I had the best diverse friends ever in my life then as a kid in Kuwait. We had a "BMX gang" riding around the neighborhood after school, checking out buildings under construction at night with torch lights, making up stories...

I lived in Kuwait in Al shaab area. 2 min walk from beach off gulf Street. I happened to be in England for my summer holiday when Iraq invasion happened. Never went been back since. I was only 8 years old. I loved living in Kuwait so much, was a great place to be in 80s. Makes me sad to think how my life would of turned out if I still lived there. Thank you for this video, it put a tear to my eyes

I'm an Arab-American expat around your age- we ended up going back after the invasion and I'm still here (back and fourth though). The older generation looks back at the pre-invasion years with nostalgia. These days we have fractured and vision-less leadership, a highly-materialistic population, local animosity/hostility towards expats, Islamist politics (a bikini-clad woman at Salmiya beach would get a visit from the police), skyrocketing corruption, a pathetic public healthcare system, amongst other negative changes. It's not all bad though; the local startup scene is very much alive, shopping and restaurant options put many countries to shame, we have all sots of shiny new sky scrappers. Consider visiting sometime, but know that the country you left behind is long gone.

Standing in the Crowd ok but come on the bikini one isn’t that big of a deal, you can still wear a one piece in a public place.

Thanks for your wonderful and sad words at the same time, I really felt your feelings , I feel exactly the same when I watch 80s videos 💔

خنقتني العبرة لماتذكرت ايام الطفولة الجميلة واهل الكويت الطيبين

I am an Indian, born and raised in Kuwait. I was born after the invasion and it is always nice to see how Kuwait was before 1990. Nevertheless, I love Kuwait. I left Kuwait and I am in Australia now, but I will never forget Kuwait. I love Kuwait and I hope to return some day. God bless Kuwait.

Wonderful Kuwait. Indian, born and raised in Kuwait. Parents came in the early 50's. I lived in Salmiyah. Studied in Indian School. Beautiful place. Went back to India in 86' and now live in Canada. Kuwait is in my blood. Didn't know the difference between any nationality... we were all one. Played Football (Soccer) between the spaces of the buiding. Ate excellent Shawarma from Salmiya center. Had only 100 fils then... went around with friends to cassette shops... Sultan center was a posh place then... Great Video... reminds me of good ol times...

سبحان الله من 35 وثلاثين سنه كانو متطورين اكثر عن اليوم

The golden days ...we lived in Kuwait from 1968-1998 ....the good old days.

Many people said keep your memories in your head , because if you turned back you'll find everything is changed, so keep your beautiful memories, may God bless Kuwait and everyone who lived there.

Wow! Coś pięknego! Zetknięcie się z taką metropolią w porównaniu z prl-owską rzeczywistością to był prawdziwy szok! Czy leciał Pan do Kuwejtu prosto z Polski, i jeśli tak to loty były wykonywane samolotami iljuszyn 62? Zapewne bilet w tamtych czasach był równowarty kilku miesięcznym pensjom w Polsce.

This is great. Thank you for posting. I am " made in Kuwait" . This brings so many memories of what was once, I miss those days

As an Indian-born who resided in Kuwait since 1999, and lived long to see this place as of 2018, I'm now in fourth year of college in the States, I find it fascinating to see footage of late-80's Kuwait. And I was surprised that some of the buildings, such as the Kuwait Regency Palace, still remain in present day.

My home My house My neigberhood😍 Everything's was beautiful in the past But now 😔 too sad

I was a teenager then and lived in Salmiyah. No amount of money or prayers can bring back those wonderful moment of life I had then !

Thanks for sharing this video. My family and I came 1976 from Germany to Kuwait. Unfortunately we had to leave during the Iraqi invasion. Kuwait was our second home. Was that Messilah Beach?

This's a proof for who still thinking Kuwait has no streets. no streets means no buildings. I've been asked several times on that question and the problem is it's still until today. Thank u so much boobalisa.

بكل بساطه...الشوارع كانت فاضيه نوعا ما لان الوافدين كانوا اقل. واحد الى واحد تقريبا مقارنه بعدد الكويتيين انذاك. و الكويتيين كانوا اهل الديره تقريبا مضاف اليهم شوية مجنسين. حاليا الوافدين ثلاث اضعاف و الشعب بعد الغزو صار دبل بسبب التجنيس العشوائي.و النتيجه بلد يحتلها الفساد و النهب و الانحلال الاخلاقي و انعدام القيم. ومانقول الا حسبي الله و نعم الوكيل باللي سويتوه فينا و بهالديره

Twoj komentarz z przekąsem jest OK. Ale dostalem wiele prosb od miejscowych o pokazanie cokolwiek mam z tych lat. To co mozna bylo powspominac wycielem bo mogloby narazic na klopoty tych co tam zostali i nie tylko. Troche to skomplikowane ale takie jest zycie ))).

Omg nic video like

Noticed on video 0:09-0:11 that is an idea place for a paddle wheel type lighting sytem generated from natural currents that run twice in a 24 hr period time frame. That might could produce light that would show in the dark when the fish are eating on the local insects.. Sorry for the No show on Last Boat show. had some ideas on fishing. Hope they did good on the shrimping. Those Kuwait shrimp are Huge and well worth the cost. The vacum packing system will preserve the fish. Semak Raul.

Smile-Be Happy- And it will be allright.
