Hey everyone!

So we have almost completed 3 years since Qatar won the bid for hosting the world cup in 2022.

Remember that day?
Remember how ALL and I mean ALL people celebrated it?
The amount of traffic was crazy in the Cornish!!

It was so different, so so different!

Here is also a short video from YouTube showing how people went crazy.

I was in Fiji at the time

And as you know, the dawn of each day, beaks first thing in Fiji...it is 10 hours ahead of Qatar

So I got the good news 10 hours before you guy...I celebrated, danced (the Fijians were wondering why is this tourist in the street like crazy), went to sleep, and then you guys got the news in Doha

Although it was 2 years back :-) and the anniversary was yesterday - 2 December 2010. The 2 years have flown by - felt like it was couple of months back.

An awesome day indeed
