The Club in Chengdu

Hello all I just got back from a club in Chengdu. I have to tell you it was an experience in a half. I had never been to any place like it before. They definately do not have any bars like it in Aggieville. All they played was Techno music and the beer cost 30 yuan a piece. They did however give us some free beer because we where American. The strangest thing though was that after we where there for a while they brought over some fresh fruit on a plate. This seemed very odd to me. The other thing that I thought was strange was that at all of the tables that I saw the Chinese people sitting at there was bottle of Chivas Regal Scotch. I know that is my grandma's favorite drink but I had no idea that it was such a big deal in China. It was however a lot of fun because it seemed to me that the Chinese people did not like to dance but us Americans where out there dancing. Eventually though my group of 8 was not the only mei guo rens there "Mei guo Ren" is Chinese for American it translates directly as beautiful country I like to think of this translation as a wonderful compliment to America but I think it has as much to do with mei guo sounding like America . Anyway while we where in this club about 40 peace corps volunteers showed up. So oddly enough I ended up meeting my 2nd girl from Virginia this week. The other day I met another girl from Virginia at a local supermarket while i was tryinig to find out how to say to umbrella.
