Early Birthday Drinks.
I was so worn out from Ocean Park yesterday that I fell asleep in my clothes last night. Apparently Chris woke me up and told me to get changed but I shouted "No!" at him and went back to sleep lol.
We decided to go out for drinks tonight for early birthday celebrations, but first there were a few things I needed.
A hair cut for starters and new shoes! What better place to buy them other than Hong Kong! The girls here have them all! Sexy, smart, bold and glitzy, and they are CHEAP!!!! I only had one problem worrying me when I was looking in the shops at all the gorgeous shoesies. Would they fit my feet? I always buy my shoes from the wide foot (Chris calls it fat feet) section because they are wide, and all the girls look so small and petit, I thought I would be lucky if l could find one pair to fit. Well, that wasn't the case, every shoe I tried on fitted my fat feet like a glove! I was in shoe heaven. So I should of found a pair in no time, right? Nope, it only took three hours! Chris was fed up and bored as you could imagine. I had so many shoes to choose from I just couldn't decide on the right ones and if I was only allowed to buy one pair they had to be the right ones lol. Chris had to stop me from buying heels, I have to admit they would be pretty useless for the rest of our back packing trip. In the end I settled on and was pleased with my £8 pair of black strappy sexy but casual sandles. We also walked down a street full of pet shops one after another. We walked into a few and looked at the puppies, they were so cute I wanted them all! Another street was full of fish shops, poor fishes were kept in tiny bags, some were dying. We don't know how they all make enough money with so much competition around them.
Next I had to get my hair done. I booked an appointment for 4pm in Hair Princess Salon just around the corner from our hostel. So after shoe shopping I went straight there and left Chris in the room.
The experience was great and the staff were so friendly and chatty to me. I had a young guy wash my hair and massage my head, he couldn't speak much English but somehow we managed to have a conversation. He kept scratching my head and asking me if I was itchy? I wasn't sure what he meant, I think he was asking if I liked him scratching my head.
A guy that looked just like Gok Wan cut and styled my hair. He looked so good himself I trusted him with my hair. He made sure we both knew what I wanted before he started cutting and the end result was great.
I bought some beers on my way back to the room for Chris and some smirnoff ices for me. He wasn't too pleased when I came in because it took two hours to do my hair instead of one. We didn't end up going out until 10pm because I took so long getting ready. Chris drank more beer in the mean time.
We got the train to Central Station then walked to Lan Kawo Fong road where all the bars, clubs and pubs were. We knew we were in the right place as soon as we saw the huge crowds of people drinking in the street and pouring out of the bars. Music was blaring loud and everyone was dressed to impress. The biggest crowd happened to be outside Seven Eleven! They must make a fortune from the alcohol being sold.
We started in a pub with two Long Island Ice Teas. They were so strong and so they should have been at £5 each! It was a bit boring in there so we moved onto another bar with better music and cheaper drinks. We had quite a few then the bar man gave me a free tequila shot. I Warned him I would be sick if I took it but I still did and I was! I ran to the toilet and just made it. The toilet out back was so disgusting, we have no idea what the hell was on the floor. It looked like giant used tea bags torn open and spread across the floor in lumps. Probably the worst bathroom I have ever been in and there was a back entrance to a restaurant kitchen!
We carried on drinking afterwards and were having a good laugh untill some idiot from Slough came over to talk to us. He really fancied himself and Chris had to keep telling him to stop calling me darling. I asked Chris if I could just tell him to piss off but Chris couldn't be bothered with any trouble. Even when the guy spilled Chris's drink Chris stayed calm and just made him buy him another one. But then a couple of minutes later the guy pulls out his phone and starts showing Chris a video of a naked girl then asks him if he wants her!? Well at that moment Chris exploded, stood up and started shouting at the idiot. How dare he ask something like that when he's sitting with his girlfriend! Suddenly his friend and brother came over to help him. They pulled him away from Chris and apologised. Chris told them all to f*** off and they were all thrown out of the bar, I had to calm Chris down.
We finished our drinks then walked out onto the street. We bumped into the guys from Slough and almost got into another argument with them. But they apologised again for their idiot friend and we went to two more bars. We stayed on cocktails from then on until I started to get tired and hungry. Suddenly we both had the need for food so bought a sandwich from Seven Eleven. That wasn't enough for Chris though, so when we got out of the taxi we went over to Mc Donalds and bought a load of food to take back with us.
One thing was for sure, we weren't expecting to be feeling great the next morning.
Charlotte & Chris
