Yeeeaaah...Gonna Need You To Come In On Saturday

Ok I"ve been slacking on my blogging. Since it's Saturday night and I'm dead tired and don't want to spend any money, I figured I'd stay in and blog. Super cool!

Let's start two weekends ago...

My weekend plans were great as I had three things going on. Friday night was a house warming party for my friends Alex, Andy, & Adam who recently moved to a new place. Saturday night was a birthday party at a club for Kelly (one of the Chinese Teachers I work with). And Sunday night was a dinner date with a lovely Taiwanese lady.

But then the plans went crazy when all three events were changed to Saturday night. Sigh.

After some thought, I had to break the sacred "bros before hos" code and skip the housewarming party. In my defense, I didn't know the party was changed to Saturday until I showed up to their apartment on Friday night. So now we're even fellas.

First, the date was with a college girl named Ruby. We went to a place she picked called Taiwan Storyland that I thought was going to be a touristy restaurant. Nope, it was more like a museum and kinda sucked actually but it was nice to walk around with her and just talk. We then grabbed some food & drinks and wandered around a mall talking some more. I practiced the little Chinese I know on her and she was thoroughly impressed. Really, she was. I'm a good student.

I didn't want to bring her to the club to meet all my friends since it was a first date but didn't want to just ditch her either since things were going well. Luckily, this dilemma solved itself as she had to work the next morning. Perfect.

I then made my way to Club 9% to meet up with the CT's and FT's (Chinese & Foreign Teachers btw) for Kelly's bday.

Our group consisted of about 15 ladies and 5 guys. Not only did this group consist of all the lovely and good looking CT's I work with, but Kelly had a bunch of her non-work friends there and most of them were good looking as well. Chao hao wan!

We had a reserved booth and partied it up with free champagne and snack food. I spent the early part of the evening talking with Drew a lot. I don't remember how we got there, but somehow we got to talking about how she likes to slap people. Quality. I was dancing up a storm with all the ladies and generally just having a great time.

Here are some pictures from the evening:

Three of my favorite CT's: Drew, Shawn, & Debbie


Drew, John, & the b-day girl, Kelly, is at the bottom


Since the culture doesn't drink like the US does and the girls are so tiny, they can't handle a whole lot. Right Drew & Shawn???


I was going to write more, but I'd rather watch Imaginationland now. Thanks again for the great gifts Mom! Wo ai wode mama!!!
