Mongolian all-you-can-eat-BBQ

Yesterday evening I had one of the most interesting nights ever since I got to China. I mean I really thought I (almost) seen it all, but noooooo.....First of all the location was quite interesting - the restaurant was located in the 'cellar' of a gigantic ball in the middle of the "Labor Park" When we entered I saw in the left corner some kind of half naked / slightly pin up girl like girls - and that's when I first thought...this will be an interesting evening....

When we sat down at our table we noticed that the restaurant itself was round, and that it was surrounded by big tanks full of water, with in the middle a big podium. By the time the first announcements were made (we gate crashed a All China Gaelic football dinner) we saw some things floating in the water tanks. When we looked closer we saw that there were actually girls (!) with big flippers and goggles, but with tiny bikini's swimming IN the water tank being all sexy or doing their best to look like mermaids. While we were still trying to get grip on what we have actually seen in the tanks, the music started to play really loud and the pin up girls already came onto the stage. Doing their sexy moves, and wiggling there little behinds. The only thing missing here were the poles and the old man sitting in front trying to put in dollar bills in their little strings. :-P This all happened when we tried to eat our Mongolian Buffet....

Next man up was a Michael Jackson look-a-like doing his best to get the crowd going, while behind us we noticed that either we were moving or the restaurant was moving: the restaurant actually had a movable floor (!) They have built in a movable ring into the floor, so that the tables that were placed on the ring will be able to rotate around the restaurant....Crazy stuff.
Food was definitely not the reason why people came to the restaurant.

As I said before, this night was a night full of surprises including our funky disco cabbie. The cabbie actually pimped his car with disco lights in his car and a big big (mostly loud) speaker system. He had like lights blinking everywhere and a lot of noise coming out of his car. On top of this he thought it would be fun to speed, I was shitting 7 colors of poo (as we would say in Dutch) while sitting in his car. Other people with me were far too drunk to actually realize how fast he was driving:-P

Anyway, just another eventful day in China :-)
