Sick in Bed

Well it finally happened, I am officially sick in Shanghai. It is probably just a 24 hour thing as that is usually what happens to me, so keep your fingers crossed. Last night myself, one of the Lars's, and Vanessa (a Frenchie) went to a bar on the Bund. Well I guess I should start at the beginning of the evening, we started out at Lars's place, with a ten dollar bottle of vodka. Vanessa doesn't drink vodka (which Lars and myself find odd), so she stuck with her bottle of Chinese wine. Myself and the Swede put a really good dent in the bottle as we kept listening to awesome music from our home countries. Eventually Henrik (the Lars) played something that I recognized, and I was wishing Pete and Laura could have been here to hear it. The artist's name is Gunther, and I think he might be the President of Sweden, if you have never heard of him before, some of my friends started a fan club for him on Facebook years ago www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=223109839 . He has to be the most talented singer I have heard from Sweden since Ace of Base, no seriously give it a listen, it is AWESOME. After we got to the bar I realized that all drinks were 50 rmb, or about $9 Cdn, this price was so crazy expensive, but after a couple I realized why. Im a double size glass they filled it with opposite proportions to bars back home. Here it was 95% booze and 5% mix. They were fabulous, it was a great night of conversation. I finally headed home because I was realizing that my stomach was upset, and it wasn't from the booze. Well this basically gets you caught up in the life of me, so until next time.

  1. You're confusing Tie Domi and Rush... it is easy to do because both will leave you with a headache.
