046.
Kuwait is a country in the Middle East. Kuwait City is the capital of the country. It is very modern and busy, and it is the center of Kuwaiti business. Today, Kuwaiti life is an interesting mix of modern and traditional styles. Kuwaitis like their modern lifestyles, but they enjoy their old customs, too. In their free time, people often gather in coffee shops. In the morning and afternoon hours, they are filled with women visiting with each other while their children play together. But the coffee shops are the most popular with the older gentlemen, who gather in the evenings to drink tea or coffee, and to relax and talk with their friends. Sports are an important part of Kuwaiti life. Since Kuwait is on the coast, people enjoy water sports like swimming, wind surfing, and water skiing. For Kuwaitis, soccer is the most popular sport.
