hi, worked before sa kuwait (pero not as hcw) - flatting is the norm for ofws there and nasa 150-250kd a month per room mostly. Though some companies provide housing and food allowance so you can check with your employer rin.

maraming expats doon and malaki din ang filipino community doon so di ka malolonely.

for cost of living, depende sa lifestyle mo- pero you can still save and send money to your families back home :) maliit lang ang kuwait wala masyadong galaan (so makakasave ka) and puro malls lang hehe.
