Timeline:
I am not allowed to talk to girls
I am with the birthday group and I decided to talk to two randome girls from another party. Not after 5 seconds. One of the guys from our party steps in between me and the two randoms, and pulls me away saying “no, no, no”. Why? Were they Mafia / Triad girls? They didn’t look like it. Did he think I had a girlfriend? Not the case. Were they his girlfriends? Didn’t appear so. The only logical conclusion was that he was gay and into me. I don’t have proof of this but what else can explain this mysterious cockblocking behaviour from a fellow man?

Taking over
Well, there really wasn’t many people on the dancefloor to take over, so acquisition was quite easy.

Fight at the end
Apparently big brawl at the end of the night ended things early for all patrons.

Arrivederci
Left around 2:30 for some Hungry Jacks across the road

Recommendation
This was an average night. Again, disappointed in only one room being open tonight. Probably not worth the $25,  especially that its only one room open. Arthouse Hotel – 4.5/10
