Still can feel muscle and bone pain after soccer. Some very young arabs have kicked our asses pretty hard – it has been clear from the begining that they like this game. Around 8PM all fields were rented. Still it is nice to remember young days. Have tried Korean food – strange shit! The meat…
Red shoes and locals
Tomorrow I am going to play soccer so had a nice walk in the shopping avenue (suitable only for cars) searching for shoes. Fucking country – they are obsessed about good quality, branded shoes, average prices around 500 riyals. For one evening of soccer game it is a bit too much. So I have walked…
