20080104: Qatar Exxon Mobil Open - TENNIS
That's the great thing about a first world Islamic country!
Cheap petrol (RM 0.72/litre), cheap cars (Nissan Xterra Made in USA, 4WD at RM 90k!)
and also CHARITY Tennis tickets! Unbelievable!
Just queued up earlier (actually NO queue at all) at 10am to collect FREE tickets for the Semi-Finals in the afternoon.
The match kicked off punctually at 4pm and lasted until 930pm after 2 Semi-final Single matches and 1 Doubles final!
Loads of photos here!
