“A Day without Expatriates”



Expatriates make up a large part of Kuwait’s population. There are many different nationalities that make up this expatriate population. Certain nationalities are typically employed in specific occupations. For example, Filipinos typically work in the service sector of Kuwait. They tend to work as salespeople, waitresses, nannies, and maids.

Please write a journal entry of “A Day without Expatriates”. This journal should focus on what your life would be like if for one day all the expatriates in Kuwait were gone. Write about the people that would no longer be around and the jobs these people perform.

*If you are not Kuwaiti write about what life would be like if you had one day to go back to your home country.
