The Most Bizarre Starbucks Ever...


I am kind of stranded in the Kuwait airport today. It has nothing to do with weather or anything like that; really it was a scheduling oversight on my part. So I have been sitting at this Starbucks now for about 8 hours and it really has not been all that bad. The seats are comfortable, there is coffee, food, and the internet - all basic needs are met. Now you have to be mindful that there are not a lot of American's running around Kuwait let alone the airport. However, I'm sitting here and there has been this steady stream of American's in what seems to be some organized chaos listening to ITunes and talking goverment acronym steak, none of which I am familar with. It is like there is some sort of American mafia and they keep interviewing different people. I have been approached a couple of times, but I merely point behind to the crowd of bizarre people and they scurry off. It is some sort of US Federal entity but I'm not sure.

Bizarre...
