Night out in Hanoi City

Shaun and my room mate situation was going great until the night befor he left. You see, when you share a room you can't get out of an invite. Everyone was heading out to celebrate or commiserate the parting of company. I had no excuse not to don some decent clothes and go with them. Even though the night was getting on and i wanted to be fresh for when Steph arrived, no one would take no for an answer. So off i went. We got to Crazy Monkey and I was in the right mood for a good old shimmy. So I bopped away until I was being dragged to yet another night club. Under protest of course. I was going to go home at this piont but was pushed in to a taxi with 6 others.(A taxi the size of a Dihatsu Mira) We got to an over lit Vietnamese night club, with what I would consider a little too much security. There was practically a full body search at the door and all cameras were forbidden inside.
Inside all the male staff were wearing these bright orange workmen overalls that did nothing for their figures or skin tone! The dance floor was full of very drugged up Vietnamese people gigging around to not so lovely music. Shaun and I decide to hit the dance floor anyway and some locals decided to hit eachother. Shaun and I were on the outside of a drugged up local scrum and the dance floor cleared in 30 seconds. Some tall, older and "very HAppy" man put his hands around my head to protect me from any flying bottles. All the time Shaun and I were more courious than anything and i never once felt threatened. Any way there was practically the whole of the Vietnams security force there to break it up. After the excietment we returned for a little shimmy till the placed closed at 2:30...TWO THIRTY!!!
So much for my early night! We headed back home, after a some upset of a missing camera...not mine, some poor lads, where Shaun and I proceeded to talk till 6:30 in the morning....So much for feeling fresh for Steph...I had to get up at 7:30 to get to the Laos Embassy to do my visa! Luckly it didn't take too long. I had to go back in the arvo to pick my passport up, so i got to have a little nap....
