Don’t expect your phone to be working
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009Typical to most events where everyone is trying to meet each other at the same place and time, the mobile phone networks get overloaded.
It is best to plan a meeting point at regular intervals… just like the good ol days.
Also, if you make it to the bar, get as many drinks as you can carry (responsibly!). Nothing’s worse than lining up for 15minutes then finishing your drink before you return to your friends.
Do i need to mention sunscreen? Shotgun not getting skin cancer this year by Not putting on perfume or cologne on skin which gets direct sunlight AND make sure you’re wearing sunscreen.
