5020

As I drive through Kuwait, I'll frequently see 5020 signs.  I just thought it might be a year count, similar to the Jewish Calendar.  It is however ad 50 and 20, and not 5020.  The 50 is to mark the 50th anniversary of Kuwait's Independence, and the 20 is to mark the anniversary of Liberation.

Knowing that, I saw a building downtown with the windows lit up to show a 50, so I drove around the other side expecting to see the 20.  No such luck.... just another 50.  Here are the pictures anyway.
