Go to pub for birthdays
Last Friday met a friend C and her boyfriend A, and went together to a pub in Houhai - Zoo Houhai - where my friend’s former language professor was holding his birthday. It’s just a gathering of friends and friends’ friends, having a chat and some drinks. C and A are both English teachers, but C’s a Chinese girl.
As I said, I went along with the 2 friends and when we got there there was only half a dozen people there. Quiet crowd if you do not consider the loud music. However, as the evening went on, more and more people came in and the noise and atmosphere became more of a small party. Good one.
I met a few of A’s students. The first two I got to meet were really charming and good looking. Unfortunately they were there only for a short while, and didn’t get the chance to really know them. And they didn’t look their age either. I gathered afterwards that one is 27 and the other 30 (she just turned 30 the next day), but you would have given them early 20s. Even C said they looked younger than their age. Anyway, A’s having his birthday party this coming weekend. I am apparently invited and will get to meet several beautiful girls. Hopefully I will be able to exchange numbers and keep in touch.
As the evening wore on, we were chatting with 3 more of A’s students as well as another English teacher, B. It was real fun. One of the students, Leo, had never been to a pub before. We all made sure he had beers, cocktails and some shots during the night. No need to say he was drunk at the end. :D
The party finished around 2.30. We were the last to leave. And after the teachers had left, the 3 students and I went to an internet bar just beside Houhai, where we spent the remaining hours till daylight. They said they lived far, and furthermore didn’t want to disturb their roommates by coming back so late. It cost us each about 10rmb to use the computers till 6.15am.
After that, I waited till the students got on their buses safely before going back home and slept the morning away. It was already well after 7.30am when I finally got to bed.
