It was my day off today and I spent the morning walking around the city, and checking out the local co-op that's near the block of flats I live in. It's open 24 hours and is a bit of a haphazard place. The isles are always jammed with people and random produce, and it doesn't seem to have an exit. I walked round for ages just trying to find the chekout to pay for my goods.
I'd best get used to it though as it's where I'll be living for the next goodness knows how long. Ho hum.
In the evening I went to a jazz evening with Julie. We were going to eat pizza, but changed our minds and headed to the Hilton Hotel in order to meet Raed and enjoy some jazz music. I wanted to swing by my apartment to change my shirt, Julie was a bit funny, but waited in the cab. It only took me a few minutes to do. Raed was his usual cheery self sweating away and dancing like a madman.
The jazz place has a weird setup because the band are high on a stage, and the bar is kind of in a pit. When you go and order a beer you are eye level with the band and the bar staff are at your crotch level. It took me ages to actually get served anything. I stayed until about 1 in the morning and then headed home.
