This is Kuwait for you

Ok so get this...today my daughter and I left our apartment to go laundry in the communal laundry downstairs. As we got on to the elevator to return to our apartment we are stopped by an indian man looking for an American man. That is exactly what he said to me alright, "I'm looking for an American Man." I was a little stunned because I wasn't sure what he meant but I digress. He proceeds to show me the address and directions on the little piece of paper in his hand. It read Papa Johns, block 4, Towers, 4th Floor,  three different numbers. I told him I had no idea who he was looking for. Yes, Yes, New American on Fourth floor by Papa Johns. Ok first of all the entire block of high-rise apartment complexes around us is full americans. Secondly, just because I am an american doesn't mean know every American man who comes here. 
I did try to help however. Pointed out the Towers apartment complex across the road and the Papa Johns which is attached to one of the buildings.  But he kept insisting I knew this man on the fourth floor. Or we were in block 4. He said we had to be because there was a Papa Johns here. I said yes but this is block 3 and there could be a Papa John's in Block 4 also. That him stumped him for a moment although not for long because he repeated what he had said all over again. But Finally I convinced him to go to talk to a security guard across the way at the towers complex. I hope he finds the guy! But it was just so hilarious to me so I had to share it!
