My Body Gave Up in Kuwait: 69/38
Cycling the world – Asia: episode 24
My journey continues into Kuwait with my first stop in Al Jahra before heading to Kuwait City. My host Abdullah welcomes me with local dishes and turns out to be a well known Arab singer. In Kuwait City I stay with Dr Khaled, but things take a worrying turn when I nearly pass out several times. My blood pressure drops to 69 over 38 and for a moment I am genuinely concerned. After recovering, Dr Khaled takes me to a traditional Diwan and even hosts one himself where I am invited as a guest to present my round the world cycling adventure and answer questions about life on the road. In this episode you will hear many of those questions and conversations. I also visit the oldest Diwan in the city, the Grand Mosque and the old souk before riding on towards Saudi Arabia. Before reaching the border I camp discreetly near the coast, hidden between bushes.

I would love to hear the answers to the questions you got at the Diwan, maybe a in separate, short video?
Where do you find all these kind people to stay with? Their hospitality seems lovely! Also, I didn't even know one can have blood pressure that low. Holy crap.
What an amazing host Mohammed is ❤❤
Davide, what you need is a big bowl of pasta and a good red wine.
Made in Japan in scamming world is still pretty good😅.
Love your videos mate, keep it up!
