The global village..

Date: Thursday, 24th of Feb. 2005 Destination: Dubai

Gang members:5 guys; one romantic, one cold guy who somkes like an old train, one peacful,and questioning type guy.I like my number four friend; he has this mind of business ideas, think about everything, but I'll tell you what he did later .And you know me, what should I be here ?, maybe the stupid one

It was my car ( ok, my brother's ) and I was supposed to pick my second friend ( the careless ) at 8 o'clock, but we moved from his home thirty minutes later.I had a talk with his father, who advised us to be more rational.I wondered what he meant by that.Before that, I called two of my friends to bring an extra pair of shorts, because I don't have any.You might ask why, and the answer is, all the shorts in our house are ripped from the crotch .I do this for my brother.He can't use the condom ( with a urine bag ) all the time, because that trouble him.So, I had this idea of using a small bottle ( water bottle ) instead.I guess I'm smart most of the time, and that really works.

Anyway, back to our story.We drove to the nearest ATM and had some cash.So, we were three, and I wasn't driving ofcourse, because I like to enjoy the scenes from the back window like kids.The same talking was in the way about the same things that people talk about; what did you last night?, what time did you sleep?, did you wach that match?, etc.Although I'm not a big fan of football, but I like running, so I guess I'm a sportman.Believe me, every single boy, man plays football here.I forgot to describe the weather for you .Ok, let's see; sunny ofcourse, white clouds spreading here and there, mild breeze, but no birds.

We reached my third friend's home late at about 9 o'clock.He sent a message before saying that he's waiting.It was my second time that I go there to his place, but this time we found many girls out.I don't know why.He asked why we were late, and we had the answer, but don't ask about it.Things like these happen fast that you don't know how it happens!

Anyway, we reached the fifth member of the gang in about hmmm let's say twenty or thirty minutes.He parked his car, and we set out to our destination.

I don't wanna speak about our talk in the highway, because I don't want to repeat the scenario that everybody knows I suppose.But, I'd like to tell you about the way itself; there were mountains from either sides, still sunny but the clouds were coming close as I saw that, and few houses and farms coming by.

My friend ( the business man ) has this funny idea.He always fool the policemen at the checkpoin by showing them a crossing pass that had expired since 2003 lol.

What he really does is the following, he'd stop next to the policeman's window, the policeman would ask for his ID, my friend would give him, the policeman would ask then for the passing leaflet ( we get that leaflet every time we want to cross the border, and ofcourse you have to pay unless you have permission paper that you paid before, and this paper last only for months before you have to get a new one if you wish).So, my friend would tell the policeman that he has a paper, the policeman would ask for it, and then my friend would say that he has it somewhere in the car and would pretend that he is busy looking for it.When the policeman sees this he would say, " ok, you can go, no need for that", but my friend would say, " I know that I have it here" while he drives away.

This works with him everytime, ofcourse the policeman won't be the same.I know that this isn't good, but I couldn't stop laughing.

complete later,
