Chengdu Bars

Chengdu's bars suck... well at least the one I went to tonight. Funny coming from a guy who doesn't drink, but there's a lot of annoying things about bars in Chengdu.

a) There's no dance floor - there's no area to dance so you have to just sort of linger and bounce around other people's bar tables and stools.
b) There's no consistent theme to the music - one second there was hip hop, then electronica, then a random korean song about "wanting no one else but you", then some rock music, then some latin music, then a sappy chinese song, then a... well you get the picture.
c) There's no clear view across the room to check out the talent - there were these television screens that dropped over the bar and cut any line of sight to the other side of the room (thus no one could check me out, come over and try to hit on me).

While the bar in general sucked, the company I was with was cool. Elliott has a nice group of friends here in Chengdu who are easy to hang with (and agree that the DJ's need to be hanged).
