This was probably one of the funniest nights of the whole trip. After a “safe” meal at Pizza Hut (which is a sit down “nice” restaurant) we were walking home and a woman stopped us on the street and asked us to come in. This place looked really interesting and so we decided to at least check it out, I think the flower petals on the stairs beckoned Casey.

After seeing the name of the bar in english, we knew that night that something wasn’t quite right but we went for it anyway. 

Each table was number labeled. We sat down and she wrote out all of our information on a card that was read over the speakers. We said our ideal man/woman would speak english though Ronnie got a bit more descriptive….

You could applaud your favorite performer with one of these bad boys. 

There were phones at each table so that if you saw someone you liked or heard something over the speakers you could call and talk to a person at the other table… We made one call as a joke but it didn’t work out that well of course because we only speak english. 

Our hostess taught us how to play this really popular dice game but eventually she brought this guy out. We had no idea what any of these said but she’d tell us what to do once we spun. Options included hug someone, kiss someone (we chose to do cheeks only), pass, and make anyone do anything. The last option ended up with a lot of sweet dance moves which will not be documented here. 

Our fearless group at the end of the night. We almost made it to disco/dance at midnight but with a company visit in the morning we decided to go home and be responsible. We asked our tour guide the next day and she confirmed our suspicions. We had stumbled into a swingers club but made our way out alone and unharmed successfully. 

Last picture from the night…. the petal covered stairs. Casey couldn’t resist a good lounge.

Xi’an by night. This wasn’t the only time we found big groups of people doing exercise sessions randomly on the streets.

Muslim Streets: Where all your food is either alive or unrecognizable. Leila was about 20 feet away videoing the skinning of a frog then got hit by some frog juice. She took it like a champ though
