Picture your bank - frustrating, somber, stoic. Generally banks aren't a lot fun. But the Kuwaitis seem to take a different view. Last night, whilst making a futile (and obviously naive) attempt to withdraw money from a bank account that has taken 6 months of banking bureaucracy to open, I was served Baskin and Robbins ice cream and glasses of water by waiters in pin stripe waistcoats. Now that's customer service. Even though I left with no money because of yet more banking bureaucracy headaches, and just 2 KD in my pocket, I was happy.
The Kuwaitis also like to have fun by keeping private foreign banks on their toes. Apparently, it was only in 2005 that private banks returned to Kuwait, after the Kuwaiti Government had renationalised the banking sector and sent the foreign banks packing with their tails between their legs. Another example of how Kuwaitis are a law unto themselves.
