Emirates Hospital: you are the farthest link

Here's me talking to Emirates Hospital receptionist, Jan. 4th 2012.

- me: "I am coming by public transport, can you please tell me the best way to do so?"
- receptionist: "Sorry sir I did not understand."
- me: "How can I get to use by public transport?"
- receptionist: "You can take a taxi."
- me: "No, public transport, like bus or metro. What is the closest metro station?"
- receptionist: "There are no metro stations close to Jumeira."
- me: "No I mean which one is the closest?"
- receptionist: "There are no metro stations close to Jumeira."
- me: "Which metro station is the closest?"
- receptionist: "Sir if you keep asking me the same question I will keep giving you the same answer. There are no metro stations close to us."
- me: "Which metro station is thc closest?"
- receptionst: "There are no metro stations close to us."
- me: "Which metro station is thc closest?"
- receptionist: "I think Dubai Mall."
 


 
And the answer was wrong, of course. I called to confirm with Road & Transports Authority and they told me that I was heading the wrong way and should go back to Ibn Batuta Mall lOl!

I asked them to check and they finally told me to go to Business Bay metro station, which actually (anf finally) is the closest one.
