Farook prepares for Urmah, Day 2

After I got home from Ajman after Day 1 of preparing for Farook's Umrah, I had work to do, but I got a call from Farook.

'You know there Chinese souk in Dubai?' he asked.

'You mean Dragon Mart?'

'No. I go Dragon Souq, but all cheaters. No cheap. Another.'

'There's one in Deira.'

'Yes, that one. You know where it is?'

'Yes,' I said, 'I go there to buy cheap leeks to make vichyssoise.'

'We meet tomorrow and go?'

'OK,' I agreed.

But it was late, and I didn't get to the metro station near Farook's house until 11 am.

'Let's go to the Chinese Souk now,' I said.

'Now too late. We go take shisha.'

So we took shisha, then went to the Dubai Hospital staff canteen for lunch, and I got home just in time to go to work.

And that was Day 2.
