So I called our local shop for a delivery -
9:00 a.m. I asked for cheese (explained in details how triangular it looks), pepsi, 2 kinds of vegetables, chicken breast (explained clearly, what kind, name, look .. etc. He asked and I answered patiently) , and Bread

10:40 a.m. he shows up : got the pepsi and a toast cheese !!!! and he said am sorry mam I'll bring the water later.

Me: are you sure this order is for this appartment?
Him: yes
Me: But this is not what I asked for
Him: yes
Me: I can take this cheese but you still have to bring me the vegs and the chicken breast
Him: yes
Me: *explained what I need in arabic, english, straight english and gestures*
Him: Ok
Me: how long would you take to bring me these things
Him: *Left*
Me: I call him back, and explain that he took around two hours to get the first order and I need the second before (night!!!)
Him: yes and left again

am so happy that I don't really badly need these stuff or I would've got crazy. So far this is a good "only in dubai!!!!" morning's reminder :D

GOOD MORNING LADIES

can you not walk to the shop? maybe quicker in the end.... If I knew so, I would've dressed up, myself and the kids, went to the mall, had some fun, bought what we needed and came back, and would be here earlier!!!
