The Bars

I went to a bar called Carnegie’s--funny stuff! There were tons of people dancing on the bar and you had to order drinks through their legs--expensive drinks too, so Trox and I drank most of our beer from the 7-11 around the corner. Early on I did order a rye and coke and it came to about $9 canadian, fuck, I had to pay for it cuz he already poured it. But yeah back to the entertainment the patrons/dancers were the best. They were so bad-- they were dancing so fast and you could tell they thought they were really good. Wow, that last sentence sounds like it came from a grade 3 kid, fuck I dunno, something you can't put into words and well, the dancing for the most part was beyond words... Umm, this one chick kept doing really bad “Flash Dance”moves, running on the spot and bending forward really fast then back upright. Comedy. Too much effort to describe but I giggled and all.

Later in the week Trox and I went to a bar called “B1”. We were the only white people in the whole place. The deal is that for 500NT (bout’$20 CND) you can drink all night, all you can drink. There were people puking in the washroom every single time I went to the can. Three time people puked beside our table. The weirdest part is we were treated like royalty(besides the pukin near us), I’d go into the can and standing at the back of the line and the dudes would part, openening the lines and signal for me to go the front of the line, I said “no, I’ll wait” really slowly but they insisted. Then a group of gay Asians (4 guys) came over and asked us to dance. On a side note, before they came over I pointed them out as gay; it’s good to know my ‘gaydar’ works cross-culturally. Half-way through the night there were some “gansta” looking Asians and they were sort of scary because I couldn’t really tell if they were mocking us or what the hell. One of them came up and said loud and deliberate, “HAY MANN WATZ AP?” then he shook our hands “G-style”(but not very good G-style) and since he did, the whole lot of them came over and started to. I still don’t know if it was mockingly though; Fran says probably not, but fuck it was weird. Oh and the best part was the music; they played really really bad and outdated American music and were loving it. JiveBunny?!--heee! Later one the DJ played M.C. Hammer’s hit “2 legit 2 quit” not once but twice and the little people were freaking out-- even singing along,“kick-butt, kick-butt, kick, butt, kick-butt, kick-butt, kick-butt” I felt pretty intimidated at times; being one of 2 Whities in a place of about 300 people.
