This is my story of me making mhy way to the basketball stadium....
My bus ride to and from the basketball statium takes anywhere from 60 100 minutes. The busses here dont stop at each stop, only when there is someone wanting to get on and thay wave at the bus, and when someone in the bus pushes the stop button. Each bus has a different time table for each day of the week, and i am so used to looking at the 'Monday-Friday' timetable, so today i looked at it instead of the 'saturday' timetable. And on saturday the busses come about every 40 minutes, so its good not to miss the busses, because its not fun just waiting around and you dont get to where you want to go on time. So i was sitting at the bus stop waiting for the bus, and i look at the time table for 'monday-friday' and i thought, 'oh im here early' so i sat down thinking i had 8 minutes, and was looking at my ipod, and then, all of a sudden i felt this gush of wind blow past me, and it was the bus that just drove strait past me. So i looked at my watch, and was like, 'why is the bus so early', and then i saw the saturday timetable, and im like, 'Oooops'. So the next bus was going to arrive 40 minutes before the game start, and i knew if i cought it, i wouldnt make the game ontime, so i walked a few km down the road to where there is another bus stop, with more busses that pass through, and one was going to arrive in about 15 minutes, so i thought that would be ok. so i got on that bus, and when i was about to get off at a stop to get on another bus that would take me to the stadium; i saw that other bus stopped at the lights, ready to turn into the bus stop i needed to be at. so i got off the bus about 500m away from that bus stop i was meant to be at, and just sprinted for my life (in the pouring rain), and thank god i made it in time. Public transport......anoying at times!!!
Anyway... About the match. WE WON, YAY!!! We won 52-33, so we were pretty happy with that. i now have next week off basketball because of the holidays, and i start back the week after.
Noels Parents are arriving here tomorrow, and are staying with us for a few nights.
