Out on the Town

Friday night, Steven and I got together with four of the other teachers at AIS and headed back to the market for dinner and then down to Pham Ngu Lao, the backpackers area, for a few drinks. At the first bar we came to, after asking to be sat upstairs away from the noise of the television, we were shown to the third floor were we had our own private bar for the evening with darts, a pool table, a ready attendant and a variety of mp3s from which to select our evening's soundtrack. It was great fun and reminded me how often when you travel it is easy to find the comforts of home and how our lives often share similarities with people living on the other side of the world, we just need to visit them to find that out.
