Kuwait - Industrial Showaikh

we are facing a very bad weather in Kuwait
Dust, Dust and more dust
and they say that we'll have more 40 days of dust in the wind

that weather is new to us
I mean a very long time of dust with no clear weather

that's because of the Global Warming
Syria and Jordon desert used to have some grass, but after the global warming grass turned to sand, and we'll get sand with the wind from any direction now!!

having his own vegetables and fruits shop
and eat as much he want when ever he want ,,,, maybe he likes fruits when he was young .. good boy !!

God Help them...
