10/9: Search Nightclub

Tuesday was a typical day of class and lab except that I had found out my solar cells had burnt in the oven (it didn't turn off for some reason)...so I'd have to do them over. That was a real downer but I just went back to my room to rest because I was supposed to go to a club in Hsinchu with Chris, Johnny, Emily and harold later. Then had dinner with Chris and Johnny then went back to get ready since we were supposed to leave round 9pm. Then we waited around for Harold and he was sleeping til 9:30 then more stuff, then spike came over and emily convinced him to come. We've been waiting like over an hr at this point and me n emily were getting annoyed because we were planning on coming back at 1am because we had to be out at 7:30am the next day for a Cultural Tour. Finally Harold comes and we decide to just go to a club in Chung Li (much closer than Hsinchu). when we think of leaving Spike wants us to invite everyone on MSN...so then we go about inviting and finally we have 11 people total going after over 2 hrs of waiting. the club was supposed to be free to get in for foreigners but then if you pay $300 ($500 for guys) then you can drink as much as you want the rest of the time (that's less than $10US!) so we did that. Me and Emily got a locker to put our stuff in and then it wouldn't lock ( i think because we closed it twice) and so we got one of the workers and he gave us another $30 to use a different one. Then we got in the drink line (there was just one line to get drinks...kinda retarded, but i guess it makes for less free drinks in the end) and find out we need the ticket we got and emily had hers in the locker, so we had to end up spending another $30 to open the locker. finally emily got her drink (I got my second, cuz in the time it took to get to the front i had finished my first). we were all drinking and finally start dancing and didn't stop til the place closed at 4am! this was bad news for all of us because that meant about 2 hrs of sleep. but that was seriously a fun time. i just danced with all the guys (me and emily were the only girls of the group) and chris and em pulled me up to this platform to dance. i think taiwan clubs are much less intimidating because there's less of those crazy good dancers everywhere so any decent girl looks amazing :P. it was also funny because guys would go up too and dance and they all took their shirts off like they were hot shit. during the night i also got burned twice by cigarrettes (makes you appreciate the no smoking in NJ), so i have a scar on one hand and there's a burn mark on my shirt. the guys were all dancing with each other too (though also danced with some random girls) but it was hilarious. I LOVE how cyril dances because he has this serious face (that is funny to begin with) and he just dances like he's too cool to do more, so a lot of the night i tried to be as cool as cyril. then Johnny is funny because he makes up moves so we'd just dance and i'd copy what he was doing. dancing with josh was funny because he's so tall its like dancing with Sheila. chris was just a player but now we just have this thing where we glare at each other so we'd dance like that. jerome just dances crazy like he's at a rave. harold doesn't do dancing; he smokes and watches and randomly yells. jacob was a short guy from honduras but i think his legs were the correct size for my legs in terms of dancing, which is sad! we met a guy Henry who was way touchy... dressed like he was an Aussie, so I just avoided him the whole night and had to grab Emily from him too. ohh at the end there was a slow song kinda so i was dancing with Josh then Ben interjected and he was dancing all ball room style which was cool and he dipped me! sweeeet! and me and emily would dance, she's so cute and fun! she had said she always needed a long time (of drinking) to go and dance but i got her to go with just one drink (and actually i drank 1/4 of it). the rest of the night ben kept bringing out 6 packs of beer for everyone. by the end my legs were so sore it hurt to walk and everyone was drenched in sweat. harold was trying to get everyone to go to a karaoke bar but i just said no. Karaoke is not very enticing to me and henry was going so I wasn't too sad to never see him again :P. so johnny and spike came back with me (Emily rode her scooter home). i showered and stuff and my knees were pounding. I ended up not being able to sleep at all because i was so worried i'd fall asleep without waking up, it sucked! but that night was sooooo worth it!
