Can't wait to go out to the post office

For the next 2-3 days i will be stuck at home due to it being Kuwait's National Day and Liberation day. It has been 50years and 20 years of liberation, so the celebrations are going to be insanely crazy!!!
 All the foreigners decide to stay home on these 2 days preferring it over being stuck in traffic for hours, literally staying in the same place forever, as all the Kuwaitis go out to celebrate. All of the shops close up for those days.

The worst thing that can happen to you is being stuck in traffic and having Kuwaiti youth open up your car doors and spray foam on you or start climbing on top of your car dancing to traditional Kuwaiti music. Last year a young boy was killed accidentally from the ridiculous ways of their celebrations. Many others were admitted into hospital. The Kuwaitis find it hilarious to add all sorts of weird concoctions into their foam, such as: urine, nail polish remover, veet (the foam hair removal), spices, air fresheners.... etc. Imagine how dangerous it is to have these sprayed onto you or in your face. Imagine having foam sprayed on you only to try and wipe it away and your eyebrows come of or a patch of your hair!!

Anyways, i was really looking forward to going to the post office to document it, but i found a couple of pictures on flickr which seem interesting.
