I was really excited about my first night out in Nanchang! I have been cooped up in this college far too long. I have said before I am in the boonies. The biggest excitement here is counting the amount of time the rooster crows each day. It is peaceful and picturesque. It can get very lonely here at times. If it was not for my neighbor Jason, I would have gone mad already!
I really don’t mind it, but I get lonely and it is very hard to meet people on my isolated campus. By people I mean single Chinese men. age over 24 but under 40 handsome and open minded. Funny and smart and loves a rubinesque black woman named Amber. I just love Asian men, yes I admit it! I have been struck down with Yellow Fever and i don’t want a cure, I just want a husband, so maybe if I go out more I can find a man.
We had a BBQ on the roof to welcome Jason’s friend, a former teach at my school we will call him Dick to protect his identity. He was an intense Texan guy, I liked him. He was definitely a square peg! Best of all he rented a KTV room! Finally my chance at KTV. i love singing. I have wanted to go to KTV since I was living in the states. We have a KTV place near my campus, it’s neon lights are mocking me! Well ok KTV was a no go!!!! Well first there was no alcohol and the Irish drunk man was not having it. In a sense he was right if Richard rented the room then according to Chinese custon he should have provided alcohol for everyone. He did not and since we were the foreigners we would be the next one to be looked upon to provide the adult beverages.
So I did go into a KTV room but I did not sing. I am so sadden by this! One day I will get my moment to sing!!!! We went to the Drunken Irish Men new flat. I liked it it was a duplex. He had to shower, the guy showers 3 times a day!. I only shower once, I am a stinky bitch!. The drunken guy’s girlfriend was there, she is so beautiful. Just so graceful and feminine. I feel like a fucking water buffalo. The Zambian girl was there too and she is like a sexpot. The girl just oozes of sexuality. That song Brickhouse was written about woman like her. Yeah, I guess i was a bit jely. So I was like a frumpy grandma in my sneakers and frumpy baby doll dress.
I went to my first Chinese bar and what a let down!!!! It was like I was the invisible woman. Just like in the bars back home. I always read Jo Gan’s blog about her funny times in China and her hopping social life. Check out her adventures at http://www.mylifebehinbdthewall.wordpress.com. Her last club experience was so fun! My bar experience was basically talking to the Pakistani bartender and Jason’s students. The bartender did not know how to make any drinks.
There were highlights of the evening like now the Drunken Irish Man will now be known as the Dancing Drunken Irishman. I can’t keep up with him! He is too much for me. Oh and the crash and burn of Jason trying to pick up these Chinese girls in the bar. They refused his drinks! The best part is that I got 2 free shots out of the evening, one was from the bartender and the other was the rejected drinks!
