As a specialist in radiology treating cancer cells, I can attest to the validity and accuracy of this information.

To his surprise, his colleague explained that in Japan, there’s essentially only one speed bump – right in front of the Kuwait Embassy! This humorous observation got me thinking about the prevalence of speed bumps in Kuwait.Despite extensive efforts, historians have been unable to trace the origin of...
