Home is where you stay

Drinking is certainly a favourite activity… So how do you make it more interesting!! well play games while drinking. One such drinking game is…..

Frog Legs
You basically build up a progression in this game and the guy who goes wrong is the loser who will probably do a bottom’s up. So the series is like this … 1 Frog, 4 legs, “plock” (tell this word), “jump into water” (tell this word), 2 Frogs, 8 legs, “plock”, “Plock”, “jump into water”. and so on, so on ….. Pretty good game try with your friends.

Tipsy count
A person starts of by pouring an amount of drink into a glass (If you use whisky your game would probably end faster ha ha). In the next step everybody shows out a number using their hands. The number is summed up. You start counting from the person who started the game. The last person on whom the count ends is supposed to do a bottoms up of the drink (Kaanpey is the word). He now is the winner and search goes on for the next winner……

This was a game which we played at a chinese pub with some colleagues. David su is the champion at this game as he can never get drunk. In between the game we had couple of betel nut vendors interrupt us trying to sell their wares. We wound up at around 9:30 with all the married people returning to their homes. And now i had to decide what to do next.

So i decided to drink some more…. This time I went to a place called B1 (No. 71, Aiguo E. Rd. Taipei Ph: 02-2397-0506) To tell about this place we go there on the weekends because it is a drink all and at 500 NTD it is a damn cheap place. A pretty comfortable and youngish crowd is what you get. But on this thursday night at 10:00 pm I could not find a drinking soul there at that place.

I called up my friend in US (Mahesh) to pass some time and his suggestion was to go find a more happenning place. I did disturb him at his work but he still spared some time to talk the usual so so so stuff.

I then set out to find a new happenning place and lost my way on the way and ended up asking directions from an expat at a tea shop. He had some directions for me. The chinese shop owner came out joined in with his suggestions.

After a good walk across the daan park and a taxi ride I landed up in a an another drinking hole called Vaccum space (20X, Fushing south road). Some more drinks and talk was I guess how i wound up thursday.

Back home in a taxi was a very hiccup-py ( i just could not stop them) ride ha ha. How do you stop hiccups ??
