Spent 90 f@cking minutes on KF St in Sharjah trying to get a cab. no joy getting a single one who was;

* unoccupied
* not from Dubai or Ajman
* accommodating enough to stop AND
* willing to go all the way to Jumairah.

After a certain amount of time you wonder whether to stick at it on the basis that luck may change, on the other hand do you decide to stick it.

This actually broke my record for waiting for a cab. previously it was 85 minutes (at Century Mall trying to return to Shj)

Worst thing is that i wasn't in my usual shorts/sandals combo for an evening walking around Shj - because it was supposed to be my first foray into Western style going out in Dubia I'm properly dressed, shoes, dark shirt etc, and it was so uncomfortable.

i'm wondering if i did the right thing in coming out here at all :mad:

Cabs are a bloody nightmare wherever you live - for some reason this last couple of weeks they have stopped accepting advance bookings????

So I take it you didn't go in the end? You coming to our night out on 21st?

Good idea and once we do the security checks and know you are not an axe murderer, someone may offer you a bed for the night

work in shipping. contract negotiations! only been here a few months but dont know how much longer I will be willing to stay under these working conditions. Could probably easily find other work here but would have a problem with a visa ban I think. :mad:

JVR that is a nightmare! I feel so sorry for you. I think we should try and find someone over your neck of the woods that wouldn't mind picking you up and getting you over here for the night out. Any offers anyone?? I couldn't be further away if I tried being in Al Barsha! Another idea is to ask the watchman in your building if he has a friend who will bring you Our watchman gets us to the airport etc. Also I have got a number for a lady who chauffers you around! let me dig it out. if you pre book her she will bring you then take you back.
