Birthday

Normally my birthday sucks. It always falls on March break at home and I'm usually spending it home, alone. Since it's a holiday, no one even remembers to wish me happy birthday.

This year was different. I went to Arad to visit a girlfriend and we went out with some friends to Mooskea. We tried to go the last time I was in Arad but they asked for a 100,000 lei cover charge: quite expensive by Romanian standards.

However, it's a good bar and we wanted to have fun, so off we went Friday night. It was completely empty! (Turns out there was a "Playmate" party at another club that night). We used the opportunity to get to know the bartenders and DJs.

We told them we were celebrating my birthday and they kept bringing us drinks. We thought they were being extra nice to us...until we got the bill. I guess "bringing alcohol you didn't ask for" doesn't always mean "on the house".

We went back Saturday night and it was packed. They remembered us from the night before and gave us a great table. Until the people who reserved the table came. They were late, so the management assumed that they weren't going to show. We got a new table close by, but they stared at us all night.

A few guys came up and tried to dance with us. One obviously learned English from watching pornos, because the only English he knew was "You have a really hot body...it's coooool". We danced, I laughed and it was all good.
