31st May - a day to remember!

a day to remember, reasons:

1. aerosmiths concert!
2. the never ending mishaps with TAXIs!

whole day i had to pace myself, didn't want to get myself exhausted! so we went to city center again... we said that we'd only be there at most for 2 hours, but that didn't happen. HAH! we walked for 2 hours, had coffee for half an hour and waited for the TAXI for 1 and a half hours! BOOHOO! i was worried that by the time we got to the apartment that we'll be late for the concert. so i checked the time, nah i'm not going to sweat about it, aerosmith starts at 10! it shouldn't be that bad.
checked the time again, damn it was already 7:00 when we finally got the cab back, and the journey took another 30 minutes. so yeah, we got back and changed, and waited for the next taxi to go to the Dubai Exile Rugby club. it was a BIG/HUGE mistake! it was during the rush hour. DAMN DAMN DAMN!

waited for another hour for a taxi, and boom finally we got one that had some sympathy for us i guess, he stopped. and when we told him that we are going to the rugby club, he looked at us and asked, "you know where? if you do, i take you..." i was like, "what? the.... TOOOT TOOOOT and TOOOOOT!!" how are we suppose to know where that is... hubs finally spoke to the concierge and he gave us the map. we stopped the next taxi and showed the place to him, he just nodded and drove us there. traffic was pretty alright, since it was away from the city.

i was getting all excited, i saw the lit stadium, heart was racing, and towards the final corner... DAMNNNNNNNNN!!! the traffic was madness!! ARGHHH!!! (so we waited for another 20 minutes just for the taxi to drop us off at the entrance)

by the time we arrived at the concert, thank god they haven't started anything yet and that was already 10:00 p.m. queued up for 2 bottles of mineral water for 15 minutes and heard the crowd cheering! hell yeah!!

the stadium was packed with 15,000 people...

to be continued.
