Hi Group,

I would like
to get some info. from you. I have an offer from an engineering
contracting company in Ahmadi at Kuwait. They are offering me a monthly
salary
of 300KD with free accomodation & transport, but I HAVE TO MANAGE FOR
MY FOOD ON MY OWN, which makes me worry for the expenses & savings, in turn. Can u please
give me the details as-

1. Can one manage in the said-offer & do savings...?

2. What are the expenses on VEGETARIAN FOODS,
particularly in the AHMADI area, as I'll be working in a KNPC REFINERY
there...?

3. How are the FOOD/ HOTEL FACILITIES at AHMADI..?

4. What is the STANDARD OF LIVING at AHMADI or is it that the expenses
for FOOD are uniform in Kuwait.....?

5. While leaving my country, I'll be bringing basic MEDICINES of
Ayurvedic/ Herbal Preparatory, which I may require. Can I bring the
same with
me for a years' quota, as I believe that the same might not be
available over there....What about the AIR PORT authorities, do i need
to get
some CERTIFICATE from my FAMILY DOCTOR here...please give me all the
details....

6. My mother wishes me to take with me some home-made snacks/ sweets.
Can I bring such house-hold foods....I worry for the AIR PORT
OFFICIALS...please guide.......any hindrances caused by AIR PORT
OFFICIALS for bringing foods/ medicines from one's native
place.........?please give detailed reply for this query in particular......

7. I believe if I bring bathing soaps, clothes washing soap/ powder, shaving cream, RAZOR, talcum powder for a years stock, I can save my earnings....I really dont know how much these soaps, washing powders, shaving creams, RAZOR, talcum powder cost....Please put some light. Suggest Please..

Awaiting for ur reply at the earliest......
Thanks & Regards,
Girish..........
