Wesker's the man.

met with one of my project groups yesterday to go ask our prof about his expectations for our major project and incredibly, he outlined the entire thing for us, with examples and everything! what a great start to a great day!
the karaoke singer here is wesker, one of the guys in the full time mba class. he's from hong kong and professes to be a beer drinking champion. he's been trying to get us out on the town with him for a while and we finally managed to get ourselves together last night. everything was his choice - we all wanted to experience a "local" night out in kowloon instead of hitting up lan kwai fong, where everyone's an ex-pat. i hadn't been out to a bar in a couple of weeks and going out wesker style seemed like the perfect start to a long weekend. he even went out and bought weird chinese over-proof booze for the foreign boys, just cause the prof talked about it in class. he's really hilarious - very enthusiastic about everything and a little crazy. i was kind of scared of him at first....
first he took us to a local noodle shop for some lo mein - delish! we basically took over the whole restaurant and turned into total tourists... taking photos of each other, photos of the food, photos of the restaurant... man - after eating on camps everyday, it was a complete revelation that chinese food can be delicious and not super oily! unbelievable.
then on to a local pub for happy hour.carlsberg (of course!) was 2 for 1 which meant it was $2 canadian per beer. wesker and tanya (taiwanese exchange student) ordered them by the dozen and the can appeared in a giant bucket full of ice. it was great! we ordered a whole bunch more right before happy hour finished and didn't have to pay for the rest of the night! there was a huge crew of exchange students from all over the place...and wesker! he was loving it! we learned some hilariously difficult drinking games...one involving dice, the other was kind of a rock, paper, scissors style game, in which you had to predict how many fingers your opponent would put up... check out the photo of dennis and frederik playing! i was terrible.... it was a lot of fun to go out all together, and even better to leave early and actually catch the last train home with 1 minute to spare! it was not fun, however, to wake up this morning and finish my paper due this afternoon. ah well, got it done, got it printed. time for a nap.
happy early national day!
