An old friend of mine works in Kuwait as an English teacher in an international English speaking school.
They just asked me if I could put some money into their bank account for them if they transferred me some via Western Union. They said they got paid cash.
I know they probably don't have anyone else they could ask but this makes me feel really anxious and I'm not sure why.
Getting paid cash just sounds bloody odd and shouldn't they have a bank account over there they could use? They've been over there at least a year - maybe more, can't remember exactly. I know they have bills in this country to pay but shouldn't they be able to do this via a bank account they can access over there?
