nah i know it is cool. Am going to the same place that Em uses for her optician's just up the SZR. so is sweet. just find it funny abiout the whole red tape crap!

Re: The ball is a rollin'
 

Eye test costs Dhs 25, and all the guy did was make me look at the letter E in four different postions, up, down, to the left and to the right and then again twice with alternate eye covered each time ... strange though it would have been much more than that but yeap, its short and painless :)

Re: The ball is a rollin'
 

So glad someone has faith,you may have a lift if you dont mind holding on .. Joe on the other hand can run along behind .. Lol! :)

Re: The ball is a rollin'
 

Thats just the first step. Wait till u have to get ur car registered.......its a whole forest of red tape to get thru then!:scared:

And keep ur wallet handy when u go down to the traffic department........and no I dont mean so that u can bribe the coppers......its those "hidden" taxes that will have the fleas excaping from the confines of ur wallet when u r paying for all the crap that needs 2 b done. hahaha

Oh and b4 u whip out the calculator on ur cell, the eye test costs:
AED 25 = GBP 3.85

For ur interst, 1 GBP = AED 6.5
