Western new year!

For western new year, 2012/1/1, Chris, Yuki, Mina and I headed downtown together and first went to the office bar, a foreigner filled bar that is a usual haunt but tonight we fancied something special so we splurged and went to a bar around the corner called constellation, as we walked in the waiter came to seat us and appologised that the place was completely full, and it was true, since this is the most expensive bar it was full of rich people in suits and expensive dresses sipping expensive cocktails and smoking cigars from the bars walk in humidor! At that point the Japanese girls started talking Japanese and the waiter responded in Japanese, it turns out he was a Japanese major in university! After a bit of chat he mentioned that a two seater was about to be free, and got us that, adding another chair when it became free and with one sitting on the arm of an arm chair we got a small table. Wonderful! We ordered drinks, a hot rum for chris, Jin and tonic for Mina and me, and a fruity cocktail for Yuki and Chris wanted to indulge in a cigar, so we had cocktails and cigars in the swanky bar as we waited for midnight, at midnight we counted down and then the bar gave away a bottle of champagne and an ipad, but unfortunately we didn't win either! Nevermind! 

After midnight we hit another bar before heading back around 2.30. Chris went to bed and Mina and I stayed up drinking until 5! Happy new year!
