Disco!

I went to my first DISCO last night!! As soon as we walked up a club employee started taking pictures of us which I was told will probably end up on the internet to promote the club as "cool enough for Farangs." Anyways, there were several things that I was really surprised about:
- the place had air conditioning!!
- the music was good! There was a live band full of teenagers with crazy eighties haircuts and they were GREAT! All the other Thai music that I've heard sounds a lot like christian music; really, really droney and sung by people that aren't good enough to be in a real band.
- Apparently there aren't dance floors in Thai clubs. The area that should be the dance floor has tons of small, tall tables that everyone uses for their drinks. Everyone just dances around their table. It's really weird and so far, I don't think I'm going to like it.
- most people buy a whole bottle of hard-a and share it at their little table. And when you leave, you're allowed to take the bottle with you. It was really funny seeing teenagers walk out of the club with their bottles of vodka.
- I actually saw some attractive Thai guys!! Ever since getting to Thailand I've noticed that there are lots of beautiful Thai girls and NO cute guys. Finally last night I saw some decent guys and even some taller than 5'4"!!
