In an oil-rich country like Kuwait where Filipinos are either in oil and gas-based work or service-based (household help, sales personnel, etc), finding two kabayans selling fish is quite a surprise.

What's more surprising is that they are in love with their work! One has actually transferred from being a salesman in an air-conditioned mall to vending fish and seafood in Al Koot. (Al Koot fish market is also air-conditioned and amazingly clean).



The other kabayan is still a salesman in a mall but works as a part timer in the market during his day off 'kapalit ng isang kilong isda at pamasahe'. 'Pang-ingganyo ako ng mga kabayan', he said. He must be very effective because we bought from him our crabs and shellfish.



Note: I forgot to get their names. Will do next time.
