Default Dry Night this week?

Autonomy's 2011 lush (dry night) index states that for "Israa & Miaraj Night of 29 June 2011" the dry night is from 6pm 28th to 7pm 29th June

However, the private sector states that their offices will be closed on Thursday 30th of June 2011 on the occasion of Al Isra Wal Miraj, the ascension of Prophet Muhammad.

So is the dry night still from 6pm Tuesday 28th to 7pm Wednesday 29th June?

It's dry because of the religious day (religion again! no fighting people) which is on the Weds - but the work holiday is moved to join up with the weekend.

The dry night is still Tuesday 28th....

Seems to be more western expats arriving in Kuwait these days - especially those in construction. I have seen a fair few looking shell shocked in the Sultan Centre on my monthly trips to Kuwait.

I think Kuwait and Saudi are probably the only countries that still pay a "hardship" premium

You're obviously brewing the wrong stuff then CG! After 6 years there I left just to dry out!!!
Not done the 'plastic-bladder-of-gin-down-the-pants' smuggling trick then? At least in Kuwait they just take it off you if they catch you at the airport.
