6. Kuwait
Kuwait is the country, 6th on our list of most boring countries to live in and an equivalent of a very small (less than 18000 km2) and wealthy (1 Kuwait Dinar = 3.28 US Dollars) apartment party in a very crowded and dangerous neighborhood (it’s right next to Saudi Arabia). For this reason, most of the guests weren’t actually invited, as much as they arrived while running away from way worse parties being thrown in the neighboring countries. Here, 72% of the population is composed of expatriates.
One small walk around the packed flat and you’ll have seen and done all there is to see or do, which is not much. It used to be a nice, exotic place, but most of its most interesting features have been torn down and replaced with senseless modernism.
Oh, and if you wish to see a lawn, or catch a breath of fresh air, think twice, because there’s not a park to be seen for miles, and no escaping from the relentless central heating, so the only fun – and air-conditioned – thing to do is going to the mall. There’s really nothing other than work and family, so if you were thinking of moving in country number 6 on our list of most boring countries to live in, maybe this super long and boring description will change your mind.
Size of the country: 17,820 km2
Population: 3,695,316
Density: 207.4 people/km2
Male-female ratio: 0.87 male(s)/female
Social gender equality: “Women in Kuwait are among the most emancipated women in the Middle East region.”
Alcohol and drugs: Alcohol is banned by law, but there are ways to get it, in embassies and such.
Activities and entertainment: Snorkeling looks nice.
Tolerance for other cultures and religions: The fact that 72% of the population are expatriates (most of whom are Muslim, Hindu, Christian, or Buddhist), makes people very tolerant and very racist at the same time. Am I making sense here?
Cultural behavioral factors: Try not to get into a race fight in the country number 6 on our list of most boring countries to live in.
