    Nothing wrong with how they are living. The problem people seem to have is that she has crapped on everyone else's living arrangements for years (all speculative low blows) but now doesn't want anyone to criticize hers. Doesn't work that way, Foodie.

      Yes!!! No counter space & no windows would drive me crazy. But, for ChanToddler, a small kitchen is ok because she doesn’t like to cook or clean.
      Realistically they probably had very few options with her fear of elevators, & their residency/ citizenship status.

    About the gas setup in the kitchen. Look I'm a firefighter who lives and work in South America. Here those are the most common thing and it's virtually impossible to make that explode. Only cases are poor installation and the gas has this odor that they put on porpoise just to note any gas scape instantly. It's not dangerous at all if you use it in a responsable way. Other characteristic is that king of gas is very thin, so if some of it escape to the air, it will be very difficult to ignite, it propagate too quickly to stay in high concentration in the environment. So it's not to worry. Underground gas has many more accidents and there are more common. Sorry for my English.

    Those gas cookers with the gas bottle aren't that weird, although in the West people generally only have such for camping purposes because gas comes from the pipe if your apartment uses gas, or your container might be placed in the basement and has a longer pipe delivering gas to the kitchen. But it's definitely the solution lower income apartments have in places like Kuwait, perhaps because it's more common in South Asia and a lot of the people who live in those apartments come from South Asia as migrant workers.

      You would actually be surprised, gas cookers such as those are very, very popular and common in Japan and Korea.

    The kitchen looked like one big fire hazard. She doesn't want to show the bedroom because we will all see they don't share a bed.

It must smell in there with no functional windows or ventilation and it does look kinda depressing if I'm honest.

    I appreciate your research and looking up Aimee Rebecca’s channel as well.
    I really wished you’d shown how Aimee Rebecca had shown that strange window to nowhere that goes between buildings up to and down to nothing…. It’s so odd. Also, Aimee as well as most female single teachers are Ina cohabiting living situation.
    Her footage was of her shared kitchen, shared living quarters- really the only two things that were hers alone were her bathroom and bedroom.
    This is what I think Chantals situation is.
    The multiple drinks in fridge, the foods she clearly never cooked with like pastas, the bathroom had multiple sets of shampoo conditioners- which seems odd for a couple, when none is bald.
    The fact that she didn’t show half the room indicates to me that it’s a closet and you’d clearly see no men’s clothing.
    I think salah still has his place, and comes by for visits.
    This is my opinions because of the current apartment-
    the sudden move to the apartment
    and none of his previous stuff in that new apartment and that all my research says that it would’ve been quite the paper work undertaking to get both her papers from Canada (months worth of work and wait time) and his papers in order as a Syrian.
    The fact that she was flashing these rings heavily almost immediately but never gave any more details kb her wedding day.
    Chantal had this as a dream goal.
    Finding her Arabian Prince to fall in love and marry her.
    She would pressure Nader to go on lives and to show any couple related content to prove how in love they were.
    If she finally had a man in love ab marrying her- who also is willing to be on her “show” as much as this guy has been, she’d have shown it in detail- every.single.second.
    Even if it was just signing papers.

    That apartment layout wouldn't be terribly out of place in Mexico with the exception of the washer and dryer. Most of the time washing machine is outside on a patio and there's no dryer. Tanks of gas are commonly use for cooking but hook up to regular gas burner stoves that have been adapted to use it. Trucks go house to house in the ranchos and make delivery of it. Combugas is a pretty popular one

We just dry the floors and any areas that are wet after the residents have a shower, etc. They are designed this way because it can be more of an open space for assisting people who use wheelchairs or hoists, etc. So, their bathroom they have really is not anything new to the western world.

    The gas in those containers is so called liquefied petroleum gas. It's not as dangerous as so called "regular gas" as in some pipe lines. It's more stable and there's a few safety systems readily installed in the containers, so it's quite impossible to blow up any by just using it the way it's supposed to be used.
    In order to have an accident with these type of gas containers (an explosion or something similar) there needs to be a large house fire or ammunition that hits and breaks the container.

    Okay. Who keeps ANYTHING with cheese in it unrefrigerated in a box? Who cooks indoors with either Propane OR Butane, NEITHER of which is safe to use INDOORS, particularly in a space with NO WINDOWS? I get that they are probably living within their means (a novelty for Foodles,) but honestly? I'd rather live in a tent, outside, with FRESH air and natural light. I'm not even joking, even though it's not allowed in Kuwait and I would probably be deported. Thanks, Cat for the vid. Cheers! 💖🦘

    From my own research, I’ve found out that Salah being from Syria (even tho Chantal lies about this bc it’s VERY clear from his 2011 FB that his ‘Home’ is Dara Syria) it means he IS A REFUGEE. That status can NEVER unfortunately change. Therefore the ONLY living option to him is refugee housing. If u look into this, the Kuwaiti’s will NOT even live NEAR refugees. I don’t agree with it & think it unfair however it’s just the REALITY of how these ppl r treated in Kuwait. And yes, I did extensive research. So it makes sense 🤷🏽‍♀️

    Is it just me, or are some of those locks a bit strange? I’ve only seen bathrooms where you can lock from the inside - not the outside, like Chantal’s here 😬 (which maybe is a sign that the space was repurposed into a bathroom? 🤔)

    • @BoingBB

      Many older houses here in the UK had those kind of locks on the doors - even the bathroom, but the key was usually kept on the inside. Unless you want to lock someone in, I can't think of another reason for locking it from the outside.

      Oh my goodness! I would have written so much more. I didn't think that you read comments from so long ago. ❤️🤗❤️ I love your no drama...extremely logical approach to Foodie's videos.
      And it's because of your channel I have tried yellow dragon fruit which is so much sweeter than pink and sweet apples. (What an unusual custard type fruit that is)
      I have also started to read more about life in Kuwait. It really is the port to other countries because there isn't really much going on there which I was really surprised to read about.
      Tourism isn't a thing. Work and religion are everything.
      I also found out teachers get paid a lot over there and they don't need to be certified. Probably because religion is education.
      It's fascinating to read about Kuwait, but in terms of Chantal... it's not the healthiest country for her to be in.
      Too much inside time.
      I was listening to another interviewer and the person they were interviewing said it's a very simple life here. There aren't too many choices so you really need to know who are as a person to make a life here.
      People and people's homes become your social life. It's a very socially and religiously interconnected/intertwined country.
      Another person said that they were good in Kuwait for three days and they needed to get out because there was really nothing for him to do there.
      It was also extremely heart breaking to read that pets are not considered to be a part of the family in Kuwait. My understanding is that people don't need to take care of their pets....vets are optional. It's extremely heartbreaking to hear about what they do to their dogs when they don't want them any more. It made me hug my dog even more. Why have a pet if they can't love it with their whole soul? I don't understand it.
      Anyway your channel is very education. It made me want to want to understand real life Kuwait even more.
      I hope you have a great day and weekend ahead and keep doing what you are doing. You are amazing at it ❤️🤗❤️
