Lan & Banana Club Night #2
It's 2am and I have to wake up in 5 hrs to go to the Summer Palace, so I have to make this short. We went to this really fancy place for dinner which we chose (or one person in my group) chose because she felt it was a better place than just the touristy places in the guidebooks. Turns out she was completely wrong. It was this really trendy, overly luxurious place that was huge. Dinner wasn't that good, it was not that filling, yet was $30 (and I didn't have drinks). Pretty dumb considering food in Beijing is supposed to be dirt cheap and you can get stuff so much better. Kind of going to be my last night hanging out with this crowd.
The Banana club tonight just wasn't as good. Maybe because I was kind of bitter about dinner. However, the additional $3-4 taxi, another $5 cover, another couple of rounds of $8 drinks, and another evening listening to deafening Chinese pop, seeing blinding strobe lights, and dancing like a sardine was a bit over my limit tonight. Oh well.
Goodnight.
