i arrived on the 14th but since it was after midnight, day one is really the 15th i guess.
but i still think of it more like the 2nd day and the 3rd day is the 16th, not the 17th - like anyone gives a shit besides me.
I made plans for this day. None of them came to pass.
Plans were made for the evening though.
Those seem to work out more.
Aaron and I met up with his friend (speaks chinese. umm.. i forget his name but he had a lady's scarf).
he also had a friend. (white, non chinese speaker)
went to dinner at korean bbq. chinese ppl keep looking at me like i can speak it. but i can't.
wrong azn. i just gesture to the white guy (or the middle eastern buddy with the lady's scarf around his neck).
After dinner, we jump in a cab and head over to BabyFace.
it's an all azn club. At least it was until the 4 of us walked in.
Aaron's friend said he called and reserved a small table for us and some of his other friends.
he wanted to get 2 maybe.
in the end, what he wanted didn't really matter.
although it was still early and empty tables were all over the place, we were told they were full.
no one was looking at me this time. they kept talking to the non-chinese dudes and trying (it seemed) to speak faster and faster.
both the guys held their own. bravo.

finally, we were shifted to a hallway and given a large room. fancy room. much more than what we wanted. it was one of those "drop a couple grand at least" rooms. (i dropped 100 RMB. Far from it).
We told them we were not going to buy the room outright but would buy a bottle of booze (vodka).
they said OK. i guess it was worth it to them to hide away the non-chinese.
(i must remember that i can drink more shots of vodka in a row than JD while keeping my stuff together).

did have to go pee and realized that the place really was for azns. regardless of the fancy black tiles with sparkling bits and the fountains of water falling from holes in the walls in between fancy lighting, the toilet stalls contained the simple holes for one to squat over.
the damn bathroom was so sleak and black, i almost fell into the damn hole after almost missing the step up into the stall.
i think the people at the club must have thought i was a hooker. they kept staring at me. I was wearing strapless atsuko kudo latex. simple one though. i dunno. though i do know most azns think i'm fully white. the guys were trying to figure out if the tattoos were real.
Two others showed up and all of us proceeded to make noise with the dice, smacking em down on the table and playing drinking games.
which was kind of dumb, because we all wanted to drink... now that i think about it, perhaps the game allows the party to pace themselves!

here is the guy that ended up shoving us into the room.
i wonder if he thought we'd spend more. the host guys had these dark suits and lime green ties and shirts. some of them looked quite nice.

it was nice, but it kind of sucked not actually seeing anyone but ourselves the entire time.
we weren't really able to feel the atmosphere of the club itself really.
though the rest of the space seemed pretty nice.
supposedly it's a place that a lot of white guys end up getting jumped at.
