If you grew up in Kuwait, get ready for some extreme nostalgia.

There's something quite distinct about growing up in Kuwait. It's not quite the same as growing up in neighboring GCC countries, say Dubai or Saudi .

People have taken to Twitter to show the world what it's really like #GrowingUpInKuwait.

Your childhood consisted of a few distinct things...

OK a lot of things...

But mainly these two things

And of course lots and lots of TV...

You were always asked where Kuwait is on the world map and there was only one way to explain that

And as with all problems, you somehow manage to blame everything on the weather...

Because let's face it...the weather is to be blamed

There was one expression that you only really needed in your life

These mini-fireworks (if you could call them that) ... were your all time favorite thing as a child

OK fine Marina too

Other than food that is

Because your relationship with food is on another level

It's way too special

You didn't care for Disneyland because of this one place

And your most special day coincides with Kuwait's special day

Unless that day is your birthday...
