2013 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - First practice session
4th day in Dubai
Today I went looking for Formula One
related shops and stores. The best ones I found were at Dubai Mall of
course because you can find almost anything there.
At first I found a Ferrari store with
all kinds of shirts, caps, pants, miniature cars etc.
I wanted this shirt:
..but the salesman said that they don't
have those at all. Weird though that he was wearing one of those
shirts.
Then almost next door there was a shop
that sold random motor racing stuff. DVD's, VHS-tapes, books,
clothes, miniatures etc.
I had been in this shop 2 years earlier
so I had a pretty good picture what I could find there.
When I made my previous visit I bought
2 DVD's and a VHS tape. The cashier told me that ”the bigger one is
a VHS and not a DVD”. I laughed and told her that it is not a
problem. They are cheap as hell!
This time I also bought a cheap
VHS-tape. Let's hope that my VCR still works cause it hasn't been in
use for a while. I also bought a DVD with an old Grand Prix from the
70's. I'll tell some more later about the stuff I bought when I get
home.
But If you ever are at the Dubai Mall
go to the top floor and check the map for the Ferrari store and Exoto
Tifosi for random motor racing merchandise. Both of the stores are
located next to the Sega Republic which is very hard to miss.
On Friday it all begins at last, the Abu
Dhabi GP weekend, but not for me yet. I am going there on Saturday
and Sunday.
Jay-Z, Muse and Depeche Mode are also
performing this weekend at the Yas Marina track which is a nice
bonus! Anyone who has a GP-ticket may see the concert for free.
In 2011 Paul McCartney was performing
after the Grand Prix but I didn't have time to enjoy the concert. I
had to get back to Dubai and it seems that this might just be the
case this year as well but we'll see.
