Asian Cup Follies
I wish I could just take a one-month vacation, avoiding Asian Cup. I have to pass THAT stadium every time I am going home from work... darn it.. no choice....
Speaking of Asian Cup, here is Indonesia's tally of hosting it so far:
Speaking of Asian Cup, here is Indonesia's tally of hosting it so far:
- 1st Day: hundreds of fans almost rioted because they were cheated out of tickets - officials says it was not their fault as the printed tickets hadn't come from their malaysian vendors
- 2nd day: ticket problem solved, and everything seemed to be under control... except that on the 85th minute, the stadium light went out, leaving the pitch in darkness... NICE!!! Candlelight football anybody? Again, it was nobody's fault.
Isn't it nice to work in this country... it is never your fault... things simply go away unnoticed...
I am afraid to think of what will happen the third day... will a volcano rise from the stadium ground?
Whatever happens, it will be nobody's fault....
