Timeline
Firstly, I wish I had a girlfriend or some girl company to hook us up with free entry, cause 800 rupees was killing me. It’s the same price as a premium club in Sydney, and it looked shit inside, as you could view what was happening from Outside. However I really really wanted to experience this Goan nightlife… so I went.

Music
RNB mostly.. can’t complain, DJ did an ok job, but nothing special. All he did was play each track in full length and crossed over to the next track. Much unlike the Sydney rnb DJ’s who pick the best parts of each song and do their thing to mix it up.

Crowd
It was mostly tourists and also some brave Indians who wanted some Wednesday night clubbing. Tourists were mostly older.. late 20’s early 30’s, some 40’s even?? These were people on holidays, and this was the only visible club open in the area.

I left the keys in the bike outside..
About 1am, I realised the keys were in the bike outside. I ran out, praying to whatever higher god out there is, that nobody had stolen the bike. I look out and run to the bike – it was still there! I look at the ignition.. someone stole the keys!! Argh!! I stand there and look to the sky, wondering why I have been punished..

I ask the policeman whether he had the keys. He said he had no idea but instead pointed to a man who had about 10 keys hanging off him. He must be someone who walks around stealing people’s keys.. grr! I asked if he had my keys, and he did!! Thank god.. I thanked him, and he asked for a reward. Fair enough, and I gave him 100 rupees, which is quite generous for someone who steals keys for a living. Then he said HE WANTED ANOTHER 100 RUPEES. WTF?! The policeman shrugs his shoulders as I look at him. This was freaking extortion, but hey, it was only $3. Still though .. ! I give him the 100 rupees and a dirty look.

Well that ruined my night..

Coda
Just danced until close at 4am.. no real stories to report. Friendly place though.
